IE9 Looks like Google Chrome

:doh: you forgot the exclamation mark, which would have worked better. :)

Yes.

Regards, Koushik. Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out if they've got a second. Give your dreams all you've got and you'll be amazed at the energy that comes out of you.

Yesterday, I tried to copy a HTML snippet to sharepoint. Chrome failed. IE did it. There's a reason Chrome is "oh so slim".

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

Works? I'm nor sure. The european version just shows web pages.

Fix-ed. Seriously, though, I don't think I'd like to go back to not being able to use mouse gestures, save sessions, or do any of the myriad other things that Opera vanguarded (and, in many cases, is still the only browser that can do them). Next time FF or IE add a "Great New Feature!", just remember that we Opera users have probably had it for a year or so (so it's more refined and bug free).

I haven't spent much time with browsers others than IE, but based on this thread, essentially, the agreement is that all browsers nowadays look alike and go out of their way to "hide the clutter". Great idea, in theory. Meanwhile, I constantly have to deal with people who can never do the simple things, like printing, or worse, locating the Alt button on their keyboards, or have to be reminded of the differences between a left- and right-click. Or single- vs double-click. So not only does IE9 ship with toolbars hidden, the menu's also been declared evil and must be hidden. Please--there are those of us who can find how to hide these things if we don't want them--but can't the default be made to show them to make life easier for the cluehelpless? Sometimes, the dumbing down is not helping.
