Hi fellow Emailer List members: I had sent an email to Chris earlier today as I had another experience with that weird gif:
>>I just tried logging onto an Eddie Bauer Outlet site and a suddenly, >>mid-load, something downloaded and, once again, a bunch of empty Explorer >>windows starting opening one after the other. >> >>I stopped them from doing with Command-period. >> >>Here is a copy of the downloaded file (that you had recently requested to >>see). >> >>Its name is a number - as was the last one. Chris replied in part: > >I'm not sure what caused it, but I could take a guess. The GIF was stored >at a URL that let the web page push a popup window to you. That window >probably pushed another, and so on. >Regardless... the easiest way to stop this problem in the future may be >to stop using Internet Explorer. The #1 web complaint is popups, and >Microsoft is the ONLY browser developer that has NOT put popup blocking >into their browser So I looked into Mozilla and iCab and discovered the following. Any opinions? As far as I can tell, Mozilla is only for OSX. ICab is quite nice - I remember trying it out once before. My problem with it is that I can't seem to find a convenient Historical reference, ie it doesn't have a "go" button on the Navigation bar. One seems to have to go to the menudbar to look under Navigation > Today or open the History window separately. Explorer's Navigation bar has both a pull down Go button to see the last 10 sites, a History button and very handy sidetabs for history as well as snapshot and page holder lists, features that I use all the time. How do you use iCab to navigate efficiently?
