With what you wrote above - no, no options. It sounds like you dump software as soon as you encounter any annoyance. Wouldn't it be wiser to workaround them, since annoyances (or small bugs) are always part of everything? I guess writing a browser could teach one to live with bugs... I am sure you can disable those popups in opera (or stay with 9.64 for the time being, if you like opera). What kind of I/O activity do you see with Firefox? How do you measure it? I don't see any problems on my side. What sites were incorrectly rendered with webkit? Also, there's dillo. Small and fast, but no CSS floats, no javascript. -- -- Rogutės Sparnuotos
