    its sweet, I upgraded from firebird and you wont feel out of place using this excelent browser, its fast and reliable and uses tabbed browsing.

    Everything about the browser is brilliant except it doesnt play flash or shockwave as well as IE does for me.

    Works fine with Flash and Shockwave here just needed to install the plugin once.

    I'm using this skin too:

    What are peoples fave plugins? At the moment I just use the Advanced search one, and My Croft (with top 30 search engines pulldown).
