Can I return to the original subject for a second... After having read the PCMag review, I registered on their site with the intention of posting my own review - I just couldn't accept or even understand how they could give Mozilla 3/5 stars for customizability (compared to IE 6.0's 5/5 stars) - that, among a list of other things. The only mention Mr Mendelson made of IE6's customizability was the following: "IE's easily customized layout sports a main toolbar that can include buttons to launch add-ons and a Links bar to which you can drag any shortcut. Windowed and full-screen viewing toggle with the F11 key or a toolbar button, and you can maximize the windowed interface by switching off the status bars and all toolbars." Uh. Big deal? Weren't these standard window features considered novel in Windows 95? That he mentions these as customizability features for IE6 is a joke, when you consider all the enhancements Mozilla & Netscape 7 come with - fully skinnable GUI, tabbed browsing, side panel, etc. And if www.mozdev.org doesn't have the largest resource of add-ons for a single browser, then I don't know. Anyway ... just wanted to find out if anyone had luck posting a review. I keep getting a 404, or the preview page seems to enter an endless loop. :| damien du toit url: http://www.coda.co.za cell: +27 (0)82 7807118 icq: 2099552 gps: cape town, south africa
