    Just d/l'd this http://www.irider.com/

    First impressions? Very impressive, has features I didn't know I needed 'til they were there, and fast............................oh yes.

    I'll wander the net for a while and then do the usual scumware checks and report back.






    Apologies MGeeks for outside link but couldn't find it on our site

    look forward to your debriefing g1lgam3sh :)


    dunno wether or not I would buy it as there are the free opensource avenues around but hey its options and features list are what IE should have!

    Yes I agree, not a big fan of the buying a browser when there are 1000's of free ones out there. Is it trial software or limited usage software? I am also looking forward to your analysist even though I prefectly fine with my SP2 IE. The pop-up blocker is amazing on this thing!

    I'm not really into buying browsers myself, always thought anyone who spent more money than they had to on things they didn't need were just exhibiting bourgeois conceit;)

    Has some nice features though, perhaps if they get discussed in the community maybe they'll get included rather than inCorporated.:)

    I have never heard of the browser and never seen anything about it anywhere so perhaps in like a year the popularity will decease (from what it is right now) and it will become free! :) Then again, they probably do need to pay for server fees.

    They should sell t-shirts!

    After reading your post I installed it... and wish I hadn't because I really like it. Like you guys, I don't like the idea of buying a browser... but I really like it (so far).

    D**n, I still like it, it's quirky but in a user kind of way. I put someone else in front of it, (not a geek), and got sick of hearing; 'Oh, that's a good idea, ah it does that, oh that's a good idea'..............


    I'm torn................no I'm not, it's not a bad bit of coding and I'll cough for it:)









    Not an endorsement, just a personal opinion:cool:
