I am currently using opera, I really like the whole Godly power to the mouse thing, I don't think I've had to waste effort moving my mouse to the toolbar once yet anyone got something better

I use Firefox and Safari.
Vinya, using the Fasterfox plugin, configure the amount of memory used by the browser to free up Compooter resources. By default, Firefox uses 25% of system RAM for itself. Really, all it needs is 2 mb of RAM to function almost flawlessly.

You left off the choice for Mighty Morphin Power Browser...

You left off the choice for Mighty Morphin Power Browser... I stopped development on that. I might rewrite it in C++.

Where did you learn how to write your own browser (if you don't mind me asking)? Its very impressive and is something I'd like to learn how to do.

IE ftw! *raises da roof like a white girl* firefox slows my computer down soooo much, and I've never heard of opera seriously?

Opera. Fast, secure and I NEVER NEED TO EXERT EFFORT! Yay!
Plus, it remembers what tabs I have open, and it never crashes. And it never has a memory leak.

I currently use Opera.
Opera > Firefix > Netscape > Internet Explorer.
Though I haven't seen what this new IE is like (is the beta even available for download? Not that i'd need to download it, i'm happy with Opera, just a curiosity thing really.)

Where did you learn how to write your own browser (if you don't mind me asking)? Its very impressive and is something I'd like to learn how to do. First you'll need an IDE, like DevC++ or Visual Studio. I made MMPB with Visual Basic 6.0. VB6 cost money, DevC++ is free. Learning the language however is the tricky part.

Col. Kirby is Bo? I did not know that. Furthermore, you must teach me the C++. Right now I can only repeat a number put into the buffer. That sucks. Secondly, I also use the MMIB. For Flash mostly, Firefox won't display Flash for me. The MMIB has trouble opening new windows though.

I could teach you how to make a hello world app for starters.

I can do that I think. Something like
#include <iostream> using namespace std;
int main
{
cout<< "hello world!" << endl;
}
I forgot the command to wait for a key to be pressed, but that should be basically the right idea. It's been a while since I last worked with it.
It's cin.get(). Come to think of it that << endl; might be superfluous but I just put it in their because I've had trouble making apps work without it.

C++ is so much more confusing than C.

I have Codewarrior and took some C++ in college... mostly just copied code off my roomie though... Please do forgive my intrusion, but why did you pick up C++? I find it amazing beyond words that the younger generation these days knows so much more about computers than anyone else... do they teach this stuff to you in school, or did you just pick it up as a hobby because you were interested in writing programs, or did a friend get you interested in it, or what? How did you get exposed to this stuff (it never occurred to me to learn any scripting language when I was younger, guess I've fallen out of the times already and I'm only 25...)... It really is amazing though when you imagine what the consequences of this will be... as this younger generation enters the main workforce, they are completely going to outsource the older generation solely based on their superior computer knowledge... look how long it took "adults" to catch on to Napster and KAZAA... and they STILL haven't caught on to torrents and DC++... in its heyday, Napster boasted over 80 million users, with a million new users each week, and hardly any of those users were over 30 years old... kinda makes you wonder just how in control these "adults" really are...

I'm self taught. Visual Basic is what got me into programming in the first place, but VB was a little too easy to work with. With VB you can make a windowed gui app with buttons sort of like building with legos.
