Been using Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 for a bit now, and honestly? I can say it’s a pretty solid program with some... interesting features.

The "fun" parts:

1. First, I try to stop my default browser from popping open links from my email client in brand new windows. No luck there.

2. Then yesterday, it starts opening links in tabs within windows that already have other pages open. Not complaining though. :-)

3. Today, I fire up John Doe, click a link for a new forum reply, and it opens in my first browser window. Click a second link? Same window again, but no tabs. I'm looking for where the page went, only to find it opened as a new window inside an existing window, so I had to hit the back button. And yeah, it’s still doing that today.

Just great. You never know what's coming next.

Everything just seems to crash on its own whenever I'm browsing www.nytimes.com 😕

Look, you're telling me Opera can't handle it? It's supposed to be one of the top browsers, yet it fails on a site like The New York Times? I just clicked it and I was right there.

Here's the proof. 😁
The New York Times reports:
Americans are obsessed with sex toys

From Vibrators and Japanese massage beads to artificial vaginas and dolls, along with aphrodisiacs and various other sexual stimulants, these items are becoming increasingly common in the average American household. Even though they own them, Americans often feel a sense of shame regarding such an unconventional—and, let's face it, taboo—detail. As a result, sex toys are typically purchased with extreme discretion...

Yeah, sure, it works fine on the homepage, but once you dig deeper, it just stops, and my computer starts lagging like crazy.

As far as I'm concerned, Mozilla handles the nytimes.com site just fine without any hiccups.

Alright, I just finally blocked that damn

pizzabox.nytimes.com in my HOSTS file, so now I can finally browse Opera without all that junk getting in the way🙂

Internet Explorer 1.0 handles surfing without any issues. nytimes.com It's happening here, too.

You seeing those ads for The New York Times...😁

By tonight, they'll probably hit record numbers for daily traffic...😁

And if you want to just follow the crowd, Mozilla handles their sites just fine for me...😁

I haven't run into any issues with Chrome myself—and I use it quite extensively, perhaps even a bit too much, if I'm being honest😢

So, what's the deal with that little red circle under the restore down icon (the one right between minimize and close) that pops up when there's a critical update waiting? You click it to grab the update, and then the whole browser just crashes during the install. Anyone else dealt with this?🙄

If you actually click it to start the download, doesn't the whole browser just crash during the installation process?🙄

Wait, what exactly are you talking about here—are we discussing Chrome???
