Mozilla has nice cookie management. I can set it to ask me before excepting any cookies, and when it asks I can either accept or reject the specific cookie, plus I can tell it to remember this particular choice. So, for instance, Steve could set it to reject all cookies except for this one. Or you could always reject any cookies from ad companies (doubleclick, etc...) and after you refuse them each once, you'll never be prompted again (all doubleclick cookies from any site will just automatically be rejected with no alert once you reject one and tell it to remember.) So you get a lot of alerts at first, but after a few days you hardly get any. In a sense you've trained your browser. Take that IE!
Jim, could I get a copy of Mozilla from you? Or would I be better off downloading the newest version? (dial up modem)
I'm going to write something about my experiences with it later today. It'll be a mixed bag for you I'm afraid. Still, you might want to check it out. I'll burn it for you. It's about a 12 meg download, so it's possible to do on a dialup (mozilla.org) but it does take some time. Maybe give it a shot if you're headed out for a few hours.
