Is it me.. or is this product crap.. Going by this, i don't hold up much hope for their forthcoming OS..

I can't get into o2, my Joomla admin and various other sites.

The only reason I use it is that it spell checks.

I'd like to go back to IE but does anyone know how i can activate spell checker in that?

I'm guessing if you're looking at alternative browsers you've already dismissed Firefox and Opera? Both well supported with spell checking functionality.

I have dismissed FireFox but never tried Opera.. Any good?

Dismissed?! It's easily the best browser, has some awesome plugins (including spell checker). It's just awesome. I could never go to IE.

Of course I'll dismiss a browser that doesn't work.

Considering Firefox is eating up the market against Internet Explorer like no other has before and its massive popularity with pretty much everyone would go some way to showing it does in fact, work.

I've never had a problem in the 3 or so years I've been using it.

Shame you're being a tad vague there mate

I heard Opera

Well actually atm, i'm using Chrome because i'm on a friends laptop i'm fixing and i always put that on instead of any other browser as its the least complicated. Its a fantastic product, i don't understand how you're having problems and its requirements always seem very very low flies either way!

Personally though if i had the grunt behind me i'd be using opera everytime.

I never got used to Chrome, didn't seem to do anything as well as either Opera or Firefox. I like Opera's features and would probably prefer to use it but Firefox seems to work slightly better in my experience.

Yeah i agree chrome doesn't really do much, but thats what most general people want. Its better at doing nothing compared to IE
