Browsers and Where to Get Them
(There are many other browsers out there, but I haven't included any that have a fee or that haven't had an update in the last 3 years)
Browsers
- Amaya, the browser created by the W3C, is more than just a browser, it's also an html editor.
- K-Meleon - Like other "alternative" browsers, K-Meleon is faster and more streamlined.
- MS Internet Explorer
- NeoPlanet - Has some nice features. If you're in to skins, this is a good browser for you.
- Netscape Navigator - It was a bumpy road, but Netscape finally got back to its old self with Navigator 6.2. Most functionality issues you find in pages viewed with NN are due to impure coding. Even I have had to clean up my act.
- Opera - One of the best "alternative" browsers, Opera can compete with the big guns. The free version includes advertisements. You can purchase an ad-free version.
