Yet another PrefPane
Authored by: pete on Sep 16, '02 10:28:01AM

Over on VersionTracker, there is a new piece of freeware called More Internet Preference Pane. This allows you to chose which program does what. Once you change the http and https over to Chimera (or whichever browser you choose), it should stick.


Of course I got fed up a while back and sent IE to the bit bucket, so I never have it bouncing back as default browser.

Burying IE in a DMG
Authored by: tz on Sep 16, '02 12:30:08PM

Every so often I find something that insists on IE (like verifying a new vulnerability), so I don't want to get rid of it entirely, so what I did was move it to a small compressed disk image (make a 50 meg one, copy, convert, delete orig) in my apps directory. If I don't mount it, it won't be found, and it takes much less space in this form, yet I'm only a few clicks away.
