From: "Glenn Meadows" <gmeadow@comcast.net>

Thanks Bob, I'll play with those today.

Yea, got the popups blocked, but all the banner adds come flying in, blinking
away.  One of the nice built-ins, in Maxthon, is the ability to block all that
stuff and just see <blocked ads> in their place, or, just holes in the pages
<smile>.

The "Startup Group" is really helpful, as I start with 3 sites all the
time...foxnews, msnbc, and theregister.  I'll open other sites at various times
during the day, but with Opera, if I use the Continue Session option,
everything that was open when I closed it, opens again, not the action I want. 
I also have another group of sites that I can open as a group in Maxthon.

I'll play some more, but so far, it's got a few gimicky things (mouse movements
to go back and such), but I'm not sure it's that much better or different to
pull me away from Max.
