Firefox (Windows or Mac) - no probs. Can't remember if I tried Safari,
but they don't do anything stupid from a web-app point of view, like
IE-specific/only crap.

Oh, and their interest rates are good - 3.04% AER on the current
account. We have a Smilemore account too, which (for £10/month) gives
us travel insurance and Green Flag breakdown cover (and other stuff)
that would cost more on their own than the account fees.

Finally, it's Co-op so there's no investing in Stuff That's Nasty (TM).
