Internet Explorer's refusal to let me specify that there are some sites I want to be allowed cookies but no Javascript, some sites that I want to be allowed Javascript but no cookies, some for which I want both and some for which I want neither (ideally by asking me whenever the question becomes relevant and hasn't been previously answered), combined with Livejournal's recent viral Javascript pain (and the worse vulnerability which I believe still hasn't been remedied) has finally driven me to switch to a bloody Mozilla-based browser. So far it has annoyed me with stupid font sizes and sluggishness, with viewing source in its own stupid window instead of a program of my choice, with getting favicon.ico even when a page isn't in my favourites, with the keyboard shortcuts being different and not configurable without taking things out of a jar file and putting them back in even though the jar file is not compressed (it actually gets 6K smaller when I put the stuff back in even using 'store' mode), with deciding that when I say 'new window' I mean 'new window at my homepage' instead of 'new window the same as the window I'm currently using which is why I bloody selected new window from this window rather than the program from the start menu' (though I'm told I can fix that with an extension). And its configuration with regard to cookies and javascript still isn't what I wanted, though it is better than IE's.
