The downside to it is the plug-ins you have to get.
It will notify you when your on the webpage that you need a plug-in to view this.

Are they free and easy to find m8 ?

They actually provide a link to download them.
So it is easy as far as I know.

Bronto honestly mate it's worth a go. You don't have to make it your default browser. Just put a shortcut to it on your desktop once it's installed and run it.
You don't get any annoying pop-ups, the oly thing is the plug-ins but once you've got them everything is ok.
Also it's a lot quicker than IE6.
It imports al your bookmarks from your IE too.

cheers Jim I'm getting it now, will let you know how it goes m8

 

[mickbrush]

What do you think to it then bronto is it faster for you too or was i just lucky.

 

[Bronto]

Yes mickbrush it's certainly quicker, much quicker m8 I've been useing it all morning, just taking a bit of getting used to the differences even though they are only slight, I suppose it's what your used to I did what you suggested Jim and didn't make it my default browser, but I can see me changing completly very soon, I'd recomend everyone to try it, thanks guys
