I used to use Netscape waaaay back at ver 1.2 and prior but I got on the IE bandwagon at around ver 3.0 and never really looked back.

What does everyone use now?

IE here! I'll use Netscape only to test sites for compatibility and design. Main browser usage is IE.

I use mozilla... have for a long time.... long before Netscape scooped it up and rebranded it for themselves.

The only thing that is semi annoying about it is that you have to go and get plugins for everything, like quicktime, flash, shockwave... everything. But in reality, it's kinda better, cause you don't end up with a fully loaded browser with tons of stuff ya never use.

This thing has popup blockers, awesome cookie and image management based on servers you're on, it has amazing password and form management....

It puts windows into tabs and loads them in the background, instead of spawning whole other windows all the time.

it's just an all around better browser in my opinion... and is continually getting so much better with every release. :D

I mostly use IE because it's the defacto standard. I've been using Mozilla a lot lately though. It's a very nice tight browser and because it's being updated constantly there are very few compatibility problems. I used to have Netscape 4.7 installed to check compatibility but I haven't bothered reinstalling the last 3 months. I used to swear by Opera but they have really fallen behind the pack and there always compatibility issues. Now I just use it to check that pages I design will work in Opera.

It has popup blockers? How? :D

I use Mozilla, IE6 doesn't work well with our satellit software and causes it to enable its "FAIR ACCESS POLICY" (Translated, YOU GET MODEM SPEED BECAUSE YOU'RE USING YOUR CONNECTION). Mozilla apparently doesn't report the number of connections to the software so it doesn't break things.

I just made two screenshots. Since I'm using a rather high-resolution and don't won't to compress it too much so that you still can see all clearly I just link to them here:

I wonder what you could get for that baby on Ebay? ::-|

If you're considering a new version of Netscape just go to mozilla.org and get Mozilla instead. It's basically the same thing as Netscape 7 but you don't have to wade through all of the AOL corporate bullshit to d/l it.

netscape is a great browser but IE is what most everyone is using these days.

I've used IE since the days of netscape 3, I think. Before then, I used netscape all the time, and switched only because it crashed too often, and I knew IE was built into the OS, so it shouldn't crash. Even though I hated tons of features of IE (like managing favourites from within IE - which STILL sucks big time), I stuck with it.

Using Opera & i just love the way i can have 30 windows open from within the browser and not on the task bar and if it crashes it has an option on restart to strat before the crash so i get all my windows back and start right where i left off.

I use both IE and NEtscape. Work pretty good both. But with IE ya never know it just pulls an attack and screws up on ya. So I got netscape for backup. Cause ya know, with Microsoft ya can never be 100% sure. Well in my case

I think I may try Opera... Sounds like it's "popup friendly"

wsjb... thanks for the screenshots. Looks nice!

I just installed Opera and hot damn am I impressed! I'd never used it before but I think it's going to be my new favorite browser. I'll use Mozilla as my backup for sites that don't exactly work right (Found a few already)

Netscape 4.72 is still a good test platform. (THAT PIC OF NETSCAPE 1.2 IS CLASSIC! If you really have that, save it. In 10 years it will be worth something!)

Mozillas' tabs are great, but I have trouble with some plug-ins, beyond the basic ones. like 3-D or even VHTML.

Opera's speedy but has trouble with complex .css and embedded frames.

IE6/Outlook Express are forced at you, but you MUST do

http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp

every week becasue the security risks for this browser (most of "us" use) are serious. I know this 20 year-old who can do NASTY things with Outlook.

In fact if you have OUTLOOK open with php, it can be like letting the hacker see your all your mail! I know this is true from looking at Zone Alarm attack records.

:cool:

XP SHOULD BE BANNED FROM ALL BOARDS! The new licensing prgram is truly evil. You have to keep paying and paying and paying and paying


PLUS THEY (MS) CONSIDER NOMINAL UPGRADES TO THE BROWSER AS -
"critical updates"

I like Opera a lot for it's design and ease of use. I just got frustrated with trying to get certain things to work and decided to use Mozilla as my main secondary. Some things just seem to end up looking very strange in Opera even thought they work perfectly in the others. As far as plugins for Mozilla or Opera... I really only use flash anyways. All the other plugins I could care less most of the time.

Mozilla - It's really a great browser. Once you use Mozilla for a few days, you'll never go back to IE except for testing purposes.

We're using Opera now and I love it..alhtough Mozilla is the backup browser.. I detest IE and avoid it at all costs.

I use IE

I check my work in Netscrape for compatibility.. sometimes LOL

I check browser stats at http://www.echoecho.com/

The college I work at used to use Netscrape exclusively.. I swear the 5% of Netscape users are all on our campus!!
I made a fuss about it b/c you obviously can't teach people how to buidl websites if you don't have the browser used by the majority of net users.

http://www.anybrowser.com is a handy site for checking compatibility, too

I wish IE was skinnable ... :)
