I see your point, and agree with you. I was only alluding to the fact that we have a third choice in Opera. Mozilla is still ever-so-slightly immature for third parties to start using its open-source goodness, with K-meleon being a great exception.
Back to MDI vs. SDI....I found a program called Smart Explorer, www.smarteque.com/ , that wraps around IE which features an MDI interface. It's shareware, but the free trial allows you to try all the features out (and it has plenty).
Notable remarks (my own):
~Better than Opera because:
+ IE is the most "compatible" browser (no arguments please, its not my fault that website authors write code to match the the broken standards IE supports)
+ It has (rather surprsingly) better window handling capabilities
+ It has tools like a menu to turn off images, sounds, java, etc, also has a history cleaner that seems pretty spiffy (haven't tested it yet).
+It has a task bar icon that can hide the program instead of closing it. If you're like me you always have at least one browser session open for something.
~Worse than Opera because:
-No mouse gestures (I use Opera's constanly, and find myself attempting to use them in other programs)
-No builtin mail, news, and messaging (although it has a configuable mail menu, eg takes you to hotmail or opens a mail client)
-No builtin download manager
~Better than Netscape/Mozilla because:
+ IE is the most "compatible" browser ...
+ ?
~Worse than Netscape/Mozilla
- Not open-source
- ?
I won't compare it to IE directly, simply because it was created to wrap IE in MDI, and you'll have to try it yourselfs
...The list is just off the top-of-my-head...I'm sure there are countless other plusses and minuses to each browser
Anyway, Smart Explorer and Opera have some nice differences from the Big-Name browsers and team K-Meleon should compare what they do with what K-meleon should be doing in it's final release.
