Used to use Netscape when it was first aroun :eek: (showing my age now!!). But moved to IE later in life. Happy with it now, though I feel Netscape really got a raw deal.

Mozilla firebird, Konqueror, and for IE users www.myie2.com is a MUST, Its a replacement shell/front end for IE and is all that IE should have been. :-) Too many features to wax lyrical here, try it yourselves. If ya dont like it uninstall it (less then 2M download)

:zzz: Opera of course (for browsing & mail client) !! why bother with anything else ??

(I do use an Avant patched IE for when lazy web programmers don't follow standards as Scarlett pointed out - but that is now rare 'cos Opera is getting more and more tolerant :) )

You might like to look at a commercial site which lists 25 browsers, all downloadable. I've tried most of them. Most are a bit of a waste of space.

Even though I dislike the ubiquitous Microsoft, IE6 is still hard to beat.

Mozilla and Opera have their own email clients - I like Mozilla the better of the two and the spam controls are very good. If you want another email client, like Eudora, Firebird is a cut-down version of Mozilla and is quicker.

has anyone tried the neoplanet browser ?

Neoplanet is just a customised version of IE, so any problems IE has will also be present in that.

Avant browser is the same. They're just unneccessary bloatware frankly.

I use IE6 with Win XP for just about everything, Mozilla Firefox 0.8 for my Gmail, Opera 7.11 for another e-mail, and any others that I have is just general things.

Same story with me....but it was annoying how lots of sites wouldn't display/load properly with netscape back then.

Opera for me. I've even installed it to my network user area in 6th form, mainly to stop all the damn pop up adds and the spyware search bars that every computer's IE seems to have.

I do have one use for IE6 and that's viewing my bank balance online as nwolb.com doesn't support Opera :rolleyes:
