There are quite a lot 'browsers' and everyone has it's PRO's and CON's .
Also a lot off them are 'platform dependent', s.a.
I.E.5/ 6/ 7. (WINDOWS) & SAFARI (MAC), etc.

Normally i use @ least 2 browsers (mostly NOT @ the same time ;) )

To quote my post in NC from last night.....

I have been having wonderful results with Seamonkey...
It's the continuation of Netscape 7.2, before they stripped out the email client in Netscape 8....

Mozilla with the old friendly Netscape face.........

Any browser that supports ActiveX is dangerous. If you can "neuter" ActiveX completely in Internet Explorer, then it's safe to use.

I only use IE on sites I've designed. I use Firefox for everything else.

If you run FireFox, the NoScript plug-in is highly recommended (as is the Webmaster plug in, if you do site design).

IE and Firefox.


Also use FIREFOX 2.0.0.12, think it is the latest version.

Sometimes i use I.E. 7.01

And in rare occaisions OPERA, version NOT known @ the moment. And you can port a
version for your 'cellphone' ;).

NETSCAPE isn't availeble 'here*', at least it's difficult, obtaining a free, NOT
too old version.
*=All versions, which still are availeble, must be PAYED FOR

If you are looking for Netscape....try Seamonkey...
I use it to replace Netscape 7.2, which got too old to work correctly with some websites......
This looks just like Netscape, but is based on current Mozilla code, and includes the email client......

I gave it a try and it is a pretty good browser, I still think Firefox is the best though.

You're welcome.....
I think it is unkown to most......
I can't remember the fellow Seti user that turned me onto it a while back when I was having problems with my old Netscape 7.2, but I thanked him profusely at the time, both because I didn't want to get used to a new browser, and mostly because I didn't want to change email clients......
And this code is being kept up to date...I believe the current release is only a few weeks old.....

I use Firefox on my PC and Mac 99% of the time.

Some features on my ISPs site (Bigpond)only work with IE.
Microsoft Downloads only work with IE (funny about that hey?)
