Would you have an URL handy for MyIE2?
I did a Google search but didn't come up with anything.
Like most of you, I don't care for Netscape either, though on *nix I do enjoy Mozilla 1.4 with the Diggler, Googlebar, and Mycroft add-ons from Mozdev.org. It also has a decent download manager built-in. With IE I prefer GetRight as a download manager, though after broadband finally became available here, resuming failed downloads is less an issue. For segmented downloads of really big stuff, like Linux iso images, it beats a single stream.
Tabbed browsing is one thing I miss in IE.
The only thing missing from IE6 is gopher support. Initially this worked well, but after a security issue surfaced, it was removed rather than repaired. IE won't give you any indication that the protocol is disabled, just a page not found error.
Yeah, I know it is old, though that's how we used to surf the web. It is extremely fast, on the order of tens of thousands of times faster than modern bloated HTML laden pages. The main reason for my renewed interest is that of late there has been a resurgence in gopher server activity, especially small private networks of friends, for sharing of files of all kinds. It handles any format you can think of, and is relatively free of worries from the issues of collaborative and other mutual sharing these days. The University of Minnesota recently placed the technology into the GPL, and development an a small scale has begun again.
I can't say that the developers hope for a lot of attention. That would defeat the stealth purpose of the thing, but there is activity again.
Mozilla 1.4 works on gopher, if anyone should ever need to view pages using that protocol.
You may quit laughing now.
