Peter,
I see you've changed the follow-up to alt.windows7.general. I do
not visit that newsgroup (guess which newsgroup I'm reading and
posting in :-) ). Further communication would therefore be rather
hard ...
Also, you DO NOT DO THAT. At least not without clearly mentioning
it.

+1.

As for your suggestion :

Pale Moon?
I see that the last version for XP (which is what I'm running) is
version 26.5.0 from 09/16 (two years old). Apart from some "we fixed
issue X" entries there is no indication which features it has
(features I want/need, but also features I definitily do *not* want).
As such I cannot say if it would be better (or worse!) than what I
currently have.
So thank you, but I don't think "I will just hope for the best" and
replace my functioning browser with it.

You can install it _as well as_ your "functioning" browser; in fact last
time I tried it (though that _was_ some years ago, and under XP), that
was the default way it installed itself. (Well, I can't remember if it
defaulted to making itself the default browser - though if it did, I'm
sure you had the option to say no - but it certainly didn't uninstall
any existing browser.)

Regards,
Rudy Wieser

Posts to microsoft.public.windowsxp.general are archived on Google Groups.

Posts to alt.windows7.general are not archived.

Crossposting to both groups, should cause it to be archived on GG.
The "microsoft.public.windowsxp.general" helps ensure it's captured.

Good thinking; but that's justification for _adding_ a 'group, not
_changing_ the list (i. e. adding one and _removing_ another). (And even
_adding_ should usually be done by including a comment saying you're
doing so, though I admit I don't always - except in one group who get
very cross if I crosspost even if I _do_ tell them; they like to think
they're in their own little world and the rest of the world either
doesn't exist, or can go hang. I still _do_ crosspost from there
occasionally though!)
