this will not solve anything! only webpages load a bit faster that's it.

He may be onto something though. I get half the timeouts with mozilla firebird that I do with IE. The average ping now is over 1200ms due to redirects so maybe IE can't cope with it.

IMHO, I agree with balamm. IE sucks but because 1) I can't get it off Windows and 2) Most sites are designed compatible as it, I still use it. Mozilla Firebird is the only real browser I use anymore - It's a hell of a lot faster than IE and is a lot more modular/less invasive (I've got MF in a folder on my desktop, not installed but only extracted, which leaves me to get rid of MF by just deleting the folder instead of some sloppily-written uninstaller - Tell me another decent browser which can do the same)
Opera, I liked for a bit - But unfortunately I'm a Javaphobe. If Opera was available in a non-Java version (I mean a full install, not the reinstall version on the Opera web site), then I may like it again.
Until then, MF does it for me 
But as Hogster says, how are you going to be able to get 30k to switch over, short of publishing a link to Opera and/or the Mozilla site on the K-Lite site...

I just installed Opera and I've got to say thanks to Sharedholder.
I find it far quicker than IE and there's a few weeks novelty value in it.
I'll see how it goes.
