Since Microsoft was forced by the European Union, to provide options to their own browser, the offerings have been patchy. I've tried them, and Sleipnir is just rancid, with SlimBrowser being not bad. But I remember using Avant and others quite a long time ago, so I thought I'd check out the state of play for IE competitors.
Well of course there is the main version of IE, which I abandoned ever using, due to annoying Settings Pop Ups. I reacquainted myself with Maxthon2 (version 3 will be due soonish) and Avant. Both not bad, but I can see that they haven't stood still, and have been reasonably developed. Avant also gives you a standalone "Private" version, for secretive browsing. That is new....for them.
Then I tried two new browsers, the Comodo Dragon and Lunascape6. The Lunascape6 browser is a triple engined browser, selectable if you wish the Firefox, IE, or Chrome engines. I liked that alot. The Comodo Dragon is the only one I've listed that isn't a true IE replacement, because of its Chrome engine. But it is fast, and its built with security in mind. I liked that too.
Well thats it. Pretty boring, but I'm like that sometimes.
