What turbo option?

Post #4,804 by static 8/12/01 10:44:35 PM Reply	What turbo option? What does it turn off to gain the extra speed? And where is it in preferences? If you say "it's a command line switch", I'll reply "that's a bug: it should be in the preferences box". Wade. "All around me are nothing but fakes Come with me on the biggest fake of all!"

I don't like the interface, it has now lost the only advantage it had (speed), and the adware aspect bugs the snot out of me. When it didn't work with my online banking, that was the last straw. Mozilla lets me count my shekels, or non-shekels as the case may be. I'm going with the Free option - because, like all Free software, eventually it becomes better than the rest.

But thanks for pointing it out. Of course, there are other reasons people prefer Opera. I did spend some weeks using Mozilla on Linux - it felt like a big step backwards, with so many two-key shortcuts that Opera does in one, and for the SDI* model that divides followers (Opera, as you know uses an MDI model). It could be argued that non-free software helps make free software better. But I wasn't going to argue that; just mention that it could be argued. FWIW, my online banking probably won't work with Moz - they explicitly say no support for Netscape 6[link\|http://www.stgeorge.com.au/code/int_bank/about/supported_browsers.asp\|on the page] and that would probably mean Moz, too. It doesn't work for Opera, but that's okay - I can and do use their telephone system instead. OTOH, I have emailed them asking them to please improve their standards compliance so that they won't have to be so fussy. I should email them again just so they know I'm still waiting.

At least with Mozilla you get the choice; most of Internet Explorer is loaded at all times whether you like it or not. -- Peter Shill For Hire
