Both the open-source and commercial world has had some interesting updates lately. Here are a few I've been playing with: Firefox 2.0. Pros: Seems quicker and uses less memory. Integrated spell check. Slightly nicer graphics. Tabs redone to be newbie friendly. Cons: New huge tabs are a turn-off to power users. Fix: about:config > browser.tabs.tabMinWidth > 0 Internet Explorer 7Pros: Quicker, RSS integration, Safe Mode, better adherence to web standards, Tabbed browsing. Cons: Stability slightly iffy, horrible new interface. Abiword 2.4.5. Pros: Grammar and dictionary with free plugin pack. Free. Cons: Still looks like a gnome app. Also my adblocker updated today. Replies: 1 Comment Thanks for the info re TAB widths however I do not know how to go about using the fix you supplied ... I'm not that much of a computer sav ... could you advise ... thanks Posted by Mod @ 11/04/2006 01:14 AM CST
