[plug] So what are the alternatives apart from Netscape.

[blockley at environ.wa.gov.au]

Currently I don't think there is a lot on offer.  I use Netscape and
put up with it falling over occasionally.  To be honest it seems to
fall over less than Windows did - but maybe that is my memory playing
trick - I don't do Windows much these days.

I am hoping that Mozilla will continue and eventually deliver a decent
browser.  I recently downloaded M8 and it is showing promise but still
has a way to go yet.  One of its problems is that hackers do not seem
to have got behind the project in the same way they have got behind the
way they have got behind other open source projects.  Currently there
does not seem to be a lot of movement in Linux browser projects.  Maybe
people were hanging back to see what happened after some big names left
the Mozilla project.  Maybe people are happy with what we have now.


Just out of interest what other browsers do people use?
