I have, but when you open a NetSurf window, the cursor isn't in the search box, it remains in the URL. Also, it would be just simpler and quicker not to have to load another page just to search from one you have finished with. > My > default startup page has [Snip] Mine has lots of stuff too. http://dev.timil.com ;-) > [snip] > > In one case nearly 50% of the screen was covered in add-on toolbars > > to MIE. :-o Doncha just love Windows' redundancy paradigm?
