  • Rewriting old player movement code

    In my first and previous post in this game dev log entry, I had written that I wanted to do a game which was a collection of simple retro games. Unity released a new major release (2019.3) while I was putting the initial project together, and I…

  • Working on a small game to showcase the Devlog

    Well, I'm making a game . I'm spending the next few weeks on making a small game to showcase the gamedev log feature on tsumea where any member can create a game entry and other members can post journal posts with art, music or just development…

  • Just a test 2

    Just a test #2. Still working on the new section.

  • A long, long time ago, I was a pixel artist

    So, I got a Commodore 64 when I was in the 4th grade. It came bundled with a Rolf Harris picture building program on casette tape which never loaded properly but from what I could tell by its box cover, you could build pictures from a selection…

  • A time for change

    Yes, the site looks very different and I've had to prematurely switch to this new theme that I'm working on for a few reasons, the main one is that changing certain aspects of the site to fit the new theme will affect how the old one looks for…

I hardly pimp utilities in the forum (apart from 3D Exploration), but there's this really good program that I can't do without and I thought I would tell you about it..
I use both Internet Explorer 6 and Mozilla.. IE6 loads up real fast, renders webpages quick, but lacks some really useful functions like tabbed browsers, pop up blocking, flash/applets/javascript/sound disabling, skins, mouse gestures etc which Mozilla has..

Anyway, Avant browser is great because it adds all that new functionality (and a lot more) to IE6.. It's basically a front end, and uses the IE6 engine, so it's pretty small in size (under 1 mb). It's freeware too. http://www.avantbrowser.com/

There's a mozilla skin for it too, which I'm using. I've always loved mozilla's gui.

There are others out there too, a friend of mine uses CrazyBrowser, and there's also Mozilla Firebird etc. I think the explosion of browsers comes form the fact that you can simply use the same control to display html and other documents that IE uses anywhere, so everyone is making their own damned browser.

Anyways I still like IE and use it because the tabs aren't really such a "brilliant" feature...

I tend to open a lot of browser windows, so I find tabs are a very useful feature to me. There's just so many other useful options and features too. Disable Flash animations (when you visit game websites, 99% of Flash animations are advertisements), pop up blocking (I *hate* pop ups, pop unders), disable sounds, delete cache and cookies when you close the browser etc, I find these features essential to have. Avant Browser is still pretty much IE, it just has a tonne of extra stuff..
