4 stars
Version: iRider 2.52
"My sole gripe but that is crucial"
Pros: iRider is the best thought out browser I have ever seen. And still I am not using it except very occasionally, and stick with Firefox. Why? Because iRider's cookie handling is based in IE, and as such does not incorporate the very simple feature of Firefox, to "allow all cookies till the end of the session".
If that could be included I would never look back...
Sincerely,
Georg
Cons: Cookie handling compared to Firefox.

Hah.
It really makes you wonder, that after years this as a brand new upgrade, and the good folks at iRider never heard if Firefox?
There are two ways to come to this conclusion:
1./ You can open a page in a different browser, two is listed: IE and Netscape.
2./ You can import favorites from two browsers: the same two.
What year is their calendar showing? Anybody knows anyone still using Netscape?
My default browser is Firefox, and it would be tremendously discouraging for me to open iRider if I know beforehand that I will not be able to access my bookmarks, and if I get to a noncompliant purchase site I can not switch to Firefox. I use Firefox so that I would not have to use IE, and then comes iRider to shove down IE my throat...
Take back a star - or two...
If you were given the explicit task to build in overwhelming discouragement into an otherwise good your product, they could not have done a better job.
This is more annoying then if the whole thing was a crap, because it prevents you from using something you would like to use.
