A Semi-Good Web Browser?

[deathstar]

So here is my question:

How long does it take for a company like Microsoft, full of software
engineers to develop a web browser that doesn't crash every 30 seconds?

Answer: 15+ years and counting.


IE 8. Same crap as IE 1, but with fancy buttons.

IE6 seldom, if ever, crashed here. Ditto for IE7 (including all beta
builds) and IE8 Beta builds. Wonder why?

I'm running almost-plain-vanilla W2k sp4 onna little desktop (for
many years).

I can speak only for IE6: I've jumped thru all the hoops.

IE6 IEXPLORE.EXE continued to run on my system the other day after
-all- processes in Task Mngr were terminated.

Damn near welded the 0 to the 1 on my little Prescott cpu.

I've disabled IE6 on my system. Whatever I need to do, I'll do
with Firefox if at all practical. Hope to never load IE6 into
memory again.

Swiss cheese, compared to IE6, looks to be "100% SOLID"!

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) computer repair shop.
