Well Chris, whatever works for you is what you should use. I use both IE
and OSS on a daily basis and my experience and the experience of
everyone I've ever talked to on this subject (easily hundreds of people)
is completely opposite of your experience. Perhaps the things that I
consider bugs, like the opening of unrequested windows, aren't the same
things that you consider bugs.
