    I found a way to get rid of that! Yeah, I just installed chrome ;P I quite like it though. I never really liked FireFox, mostly because all of the people that posted about it where so far up themselves, shame really.

    I have Chrome installed too, although I prefer Firefox. Though I must say that the most common reasons that people cite for choosing their favourite browser are not my reasons.

      Yep. Plus all their sites ask you to "download Chrome for a superior experience."

          Well, that's the kind of spam I normally get.

            "Speaking with TechFlash, Opera Software CTO Hakon Wium Lie has questioned the use of the famous IE icon in a ballot screen Microsoft said it's willing to include in Windows." IE icon too familiar for Microsoft EU settlement?[^] I expected something like this as the next move. No doubt once this complaint is met they will complain that IE appears first in the list as it gives the market leader an unfair advantage. :omg:

            It's a shame! There is no way Europe will ever breed a company like MS. What a bunch of whiners!

              The proposal is that only the top 5 browsers should appear in the list. Purely coincidentally, of course, Opera is currently No. 5.

              And yet the screenshot shows placeholders for browsers 6 and 7, and with enough right scroll to possibly leave room for number 8 as well. :rolleyes:

                I know, but elsewhere I read that the proposal was for the top 5 browsers. I think Opera had suggested that a few weeks ago and then MS suggested the same.

                  I live in the EU and I would back microsoft if they did pull out. [rant] I think it's a stupid battle that really affects no-one. If I want another browser, I'll install it. If I don't want IE, I wont use it... I HAVE a choice.. gah Next they'll be complaining that you can't uninstall the startbar and write your own and that's SO unfair! [/rant]

                      MS could argue they have been doing a ballot screen all along. It is just it had only one spot (the first one!) :)
