screw opera. Konqueror has build in spell checking on forms... words spelled wrong are highlighted. Mozilla also ravages opera.

Na, just kidding. I know what it is; in fact I have it on my computer. I'm just not real fond of it. I like Firefox better. :cool:

Well I'm going to get everyone on IE, it has a really cool thing that you can use to download something called 'worms' and plus it's made a really cool company called mircosoft who don't make awful office software.

If you have pro, drop in your xp cd and go to install option components.

About the word teh, you just ignore it. It turns the text that is spelled wrong red, it does not correct it for you.

I love using Konquerer; I use it on my Fedora partition but on my XP Pro partition I use Firefox 1.0. IE needs built in tabbed browsing, spell checking and tighter security controls even though SP2 upped the ante just a tad bit but not enough to make me want to use it. Okay welcome to the forums Unseen, hope you survive the experience (why am I talking to myself in the 3rd person?)

You can also use mono on windows, linux, mac, and unix. The only problem with mono is that it does not have full language support yet. At this point its only c#, but other languages are set to be added in the future.

Yeah I've been using opera to check the pages appearence on mobiles for a while now. Very handy feature indeed. Wondered what it was for a few weeks and then when the penny dropped I became most grinful. :D

I'll be installing Opera on Linux before the end of the week. I downloaded the tar ball last week to do it then but deleted it by accident.

D'oh!

Firefow is still me main browser though. It looks even better on Linux than Windows too with its groovy swish foward, back, reload, stop and home buttons. :D
