    Internet Browser Question
    I've got IE and I'm looking for a second browser that has similar look (text, pleasing to the eye, etc.).

    I've tried Mozilla, Safari, Opera and none of them give me the rich look of IE. Am I miss one out there. When I watch my scores I don't want to have to change the view every time I visit a new page.

    I'd like something that is set and keeps my preferences locked in.

    Thanks in advance guys!

      Sounds good. And put safari and opera side by side with IE and you'll see what I mean. Thanks again for the tip. I'm going to download it now.

      Maybe I just haven't located the font settings.

        never had a issue with mozilla. in fact the default font for me is 12 or so...

        are you blind as a bat that you need it bigger?

              Bob Harvey works for SBR? Was not aware.

              IE is very weak IMO. I switched to Firefox a couple years ago, then to Safari, then back to Firefox and a few months ago to Chrome. Chrome is the best ive used.

                Google Chrome is the fastest most pleasing browser I ever used.

                  Its funny for me but i guess it depends on preference. I have 3 computers i regularly use. 1 of my pc's i use safari because its faster than Mozilla on that pc. On my macbook laptop i use mozilla because its faster on it than safari.

                  backwards huh?


                  Been very happy with Mozilla so i haven't tried chrome. what are the benefits?

                    The problem remains the same...and maybe it's a setting I'm overlooking...but every time I leave a page and come back, I've got to reset the font size.

                    Any suggestions?

                        Until, Extra Innings, the good Doctor and BlackeB....downloaded Google Chrome added an extension for the text size...and I got the look I wanted plus the extra features I was looking for.

                        Thanks a bunch guys! It's much appreciated.

                          Why did the mods edit my post #6 ? they added a question in my post as if i asked it.

                          In any case the browser on left is IE, mozilla on right.

                              I use both Chrome and Firefox. IE sucks.

                                Firefox looks classy but using more than 500mb ram,Chrome has best performance but dull looking !'

                                    Opera is really sleek but the newer version tends to crash a lot. I use Firefox more than IE, but if Opera fixes those crashes I would drop Mozilla in a second.

                                      They claim to be the "fastest browser on earth" and I believe I would agree with them.

                                      Faster, safer and smarter than default browsers. Fully-featured for privacy, security, and so much more. Get the faster, better Opera browser for free.

                                        If you go to Yahoo sports or even ESPN the scores automatically are updated live so you won't have to refresh your page.
