Google Chrome vs. Firebox or good old Internet Explorer?

[Hetz Ben Hamo]

Hi,
I don't know which issues you have with Explorer that don't show pictures.
Perhaps security settings? (you can disable security checking on site like
GMail, for example).

Chrome is OK and Firefox is OK. Most of the sites in Israel (the big ones)
both work pretty well with both Chrome and Firefox.

Since you're using Windows, you can install on both Chrome and Firefox the
"ie tab" extension which will add a button to let you switch rendering
engine (or actually to open an IE window inside firefox or chrome) so bad
sites will still look good in Firefox or Chrome.

Good luck,
Hetz
