Low Bandwith Internet Explorer.

[ZeroCool]

Who thinks that Microsoft should add a low bandwith mode to Internet Explorer? Seeing as how a high percentage of the world is still not on broadband, i think this would benefit many neroband internet users. What do you think?

Firefox/Mozilla. That's the answer.
Internet Explorer went out with the last century.
Well...there's supposed to be some good upgrades for the Longhorn version, but thats not till 2006.
So....

I thought there was supposed to be an upgrade to IE this summer, not 2006. The only thing that I've heard is that they are going to introduce a popup blocker.

I still use Firefox. Thinking about getting away from Microsoft products completely.

I read that there were gonna be like minor upgrades but the big IE overhaul will be for when LH comes out. I don't care, I might switch to Mac/Linux anyway.

IE 6 works FINE for me. I don't like scrolling in FireFox. It's really smooth in IE, but in FireFox it just chops with me, and I don't think my system is all that bad. Hmm, I have BB anyways, so I don't care.

Firefox doesn't scroll smoothly for you?
My computer is a heap, and pages I scroll on go along like they're laced on butter. IE is just as big a heap as it's always been, and I won't be expecting anything more from Microsoft than crap. Popup blockers are already a done fad. They came out, everyone has them. Now it's old. Microsoft had to let Google do the work for them.
