3 things i don't like about YCIII
1. its name... i don't like the word "yankee"; it's a stupid name for a software
2. its icon, it's ugly
3. that horrendous logo in the program window, it a Y and C and it's useless.
yeah maybe that's all aesthetic rather than functional, but it bugs me

things are as they are can't win over ig...er...bias conceived without

Unfair! The OP clearly acknowledged that his reactions were based on
reasons of aesthetics, a self-evidently subjective response. I loathe
the Norwegian browser for reasons of aesthetics, and freely acknowledge
them to be entirely subjective. The OP made the same admission, is he
to be condemned for having an opinion? Or is the freedom to express
entirely subjective opinions extended only to some?

okay, i tried yankee clipper... not only does CLCL has a nicer

Got both of 'em. Neither is perfect but both are stable & seem to be
the best of the lot out there.
CLCL takes some setting up (4 optional plug-ins, two of which at least
that are really not so optional if you want a modicum of efficiency &
comfort) & has no help files.
YCIV apparently in the works.

You'll notice, if you reread my post, that I wasn't addressing anything
but the name, Mike -- that was your first point, and I was providing
some background on the logic behind it, in hope that putting a *reason*
behind the name might let it make more sense to you. So it's not a
matter of trying CLCL, whatever that is, to see if it's "nicer".

you see, nothing bugs me about yankee clipper more than that huge logo
when you bring up the program window; it's oversized compared to
anything else i had seen in other programs, its practically dead
pixels, its only function is to make it click on it, and it's huge, to
take me to the program window, and here is where aesthetics tread on
the function, it's placed right next to the tabs so if i need to click
boilerplates i have to be very very careful 'cos boilerplates tab is
small and this huge ugly "click to visit website" logo is huge and
they're placed next to each other. It's a pain that i gotta
concentrate to click boilerplates tab than it and that it's useless
for any reason other than declaring itself and making me visit the
page by clicking it by mistake!
Then i don't like that it says [freeware] on the window title...
thanks for reminding me
CLCL has the same or even more functionality, actually more in my
opinion.. far more... just check the options and customization in
CLCL, it has a bigger window with 9 tabs, whereas YCIII has a smaller
window with 2 tabs... CLCL also has plugins... and it doesn't have
that annoying huge logo and it doesn't say [freeware]... it's
basically discrete... discretion is good, perhaps it's the same reason
people don't like pop-up ads...

Well, it's just a play on words.
Not a big issue, really. I've certainly seen worse in some of the
programs that I use.
Have to agree with you on this one; it is a waste of space. However,
clicking on it takes you to their homepage.
Unfortunately, software doesn't follow the old biological imperitive,
"Structure follows function."
The program does, however, do exactly what I was looking for. Just
wish it could do it without adding yet another icon to my system tray.
