I tried it after your post and liked, specially because of its portable
version, and especially since it works on Win2K. Pretty good on memory
too, < 35MB with many loaded tabs, compared to 17.xMB for one instance
of IE6, or a whopping 120MB by Opera. Gives you more screen space with
the File menu moved cleverly onto the Title bar, with an extra button to
minimize to tray. The tabs can be toggled to top/bottom. Comes with most
features that current browsers have. And also doesn't support plug-ins
like "Trend Protect" as with other browsers! The name ORCA is
interesting, ACRO spelled backwards?

Go ahead and try "Orca Browser USB Version"

Naturally, but that's what happens when you're a sloppy operator and
fail to pay attention to what you're doing with Opera.

I've never used Opera :-)

Astonishing admission hummingbird. Perhaps there's hope for you yet, now
that you can publicly admit to your failings.

OK, I'm gonna try the USB version like you say.

I'll make sure to tell my friend who likes Chrome because he also likes
to write about portable freeware apps on his USB stick.
