New browser to try

[hazelnut]

It's in beta (so take care, it's early days) but looks interesting

 

http://spacetime.com/

 

Have a look at the little tutorial videos in top section of page first to see whats what.

Managed to use here anyway!

Hmmnn, may just sneak in.

 

Oh well,only one way to find out.

Didn't seem to like this Vista Install.Could be the Aero theme?

Not sure, I'm xp with just 512 ram but it managed it okay. Fun to play around with, it is early days but could be the way things go, watch out for low flying adverts

Gonna have a look at that Hazel, but it's spooky to be looking at a browser link when the forum has suddenly gone really sluggish for the first time in months.

 

 

Edit: Back up to speed again. Must have been a gremlin.

True, the forum's been frozen and a bit slow at times this afternoon.

 

Anyway will be interested in what you think of the very new browser.

I'll let you know if I can eventually get the page to load.

 

Been chuckling away to myself there (first sign they say), looking at "waiting for spacetime.com" in the corner of Firefox. I must have been lost in the continuum somewhere.

Might not like Firefox!

Used opera to download but IE shows a page straight away as well.

[DennisD]

Success, got it, although it tells me I don't really have enough "video memory", so it will run slowly.

 

Will let you know.

[DennisD]

Got it running great, smooth and quick enough.

 

Unfortunately, you don't appear to have McAfee visible at all, and Spybot S & D jumped up during one of the page searches to tell me one of the sites was malicious, and no other visible warning.

 

Anyone else find this?

 

Edit: Back with Spacetime, after launching it from desktop.

 

For the very basic things it does (and of course its beta), it works pretty well, and quick.

 

Moves between forum pages OK. But as I say, very limited at the moment. No tabs: If you try to open a new page it uses IE: If you try to view a pic it uses IE: And the final thing, Task Manager shows two Spacetime.exe's, one at 45mb, the other at 18mb.
