Bout time

[valandian]

I think it's about time I got a new browser. I have tried a fair few but always revert back to IE6 (I know). The trouble I have had, or rather what I need my new browser to do is as follows:- 1."save picture as" and direct this automaticly to the last folder I saved in and under the filename of the picture, like IE6 does. 2.Open clicks in new windows, like IE6 does. 3.Not slow down my stone age machine with pointless add-ons and toolbars. Can anyone help or sugest one that suits my needs please. I'm running xp os. Thanks in advance.

Doesn't clog up the system - a simple, basic browser.

Hi valandian

 

You are definitely right about needing a new browser.

IE6 is very out of date and a lot of websites don't support it any more.

 

I need my new browser to do is as follows:- 1."save picture as" and direct this automaticly to the last folder I saved in and under the filename of the picture, like IE6 does. 2.Open clicks in new windows, like IE6 does. 3.Not slow down my stone age machine with pointless add-ons and toolbars

I think you will find that any browser will do all of these things.

As for the addons/toolbars...... these are added by the user or third party programs, not by the browser.

 

Either a later version of IE or the latest Firefox would be a good place to start.

 

If you are still running IE6, i'm betting that your automatic updates are turned off!!

If this is true..... your whole system will be out of date and very vulnerable.
