Anybody else use this program? My little brother showed it to me when he got home from college. It's MUCH better than Internet Explorer. Are there any ways to customize the program though? This little orange thing looks like a Lizard. Haha.

I've been using it for a while now, much better than IE, though like Neil said, the download manager gets kind of annoying at times, especially when saving images .

I could have done that, but I like seeing the download manager. What I hate is when it pops up for a split second showing that it downloaded a 15k picture and then other times it won't show up when I download something that's 150k . But hey, it's still better than IE .
