Well, in addition to what joel was talking about earlier, the US may soon be able to do whatever they want on the internet. Not that Patriot didn't pretty much already give them that power, but now it could be UN-Sponsored.
On a side note, everyone should be using this browser. It's absolutely fantastic. It's still in its early stages (it's the first release of the browser, and it came out about 2 weeks ago) but it already kicks IE's ass.

ICANN blows. And I bet this Deepnet Explorer does too. Firefox does everything it purports to do except cruise the eternally crappy Gnutella network, and it's not based on IE (and as such, will not get bitten by the same security holes).
I used firefox for a while, but i wasn't really impressed with it...it doesn't give nearly as much of a speed boost as it purports to, not to mention the "robust plugin system" it boasts doesn't have any good plugins for it. That, and it's a memory hog.
I'm mainly into deepnet at the moment because of the small memory stamp, the built-in RSS support, and the customization options.
If the last time you tried it was a while ago, give it another shot. I dunno about speed -- everything seems fast enough to me. The trick about memory footprints is that the main core of IE sits in Windows' system, so it looks more lightweight than it is. There are a crapload of Firefox plugins, pretty much everything Deepnet does aside from Gnutella.
Actually, i stopped using firefox today when i started using Deepnet...i dunno, there's just something about it i like better. That, and i've got a lot of hope for the development of it...it looks like there's a lot of cool things on the horizon...
One of the things i didn't like about firefox was the fact that disabling a pluging didn't actually seem to turn it off...so i kept getting stuck with this "right-clicking puts up a pie of options" thing that i tried and didn't like. It's also possible that it was just that plugin that had problems. Who knows. If deepnet can actually put in a non-web-based blog posting engine, it'll be the last web program i'll ever need...
