Everyone knows Bill Gates runs the Internet, right? Wrong! When it comes to browsers for surfing the Web, there are plenty of other choices... if you know where to look for them. So if you thought you were stuck using I.E., let's have a look at some of your other options. 1) Safari: {http://www.apple.com/safari} Safari is the browser of choice for most Mac users. Faster than Internet Explorer (at least that's the claim), it contains a built-in Google Search, tabbed interface to browse multiple sites at once, automatic-form completion and more. Frëe to download. 2) Mozilla: {http://www.mozilla.org/products/mozilla1.x/} Also known as "Sea Monkey," Mozilla is open source software, so it's frëe. Mozilla is for Windows, Linux or Mac users. Browse several sites at once with the tabbed interface, block pop-up ads and it even includes IRS Chat and a built-in Email client with sp@m filters. 3) Opera: {http://www.opera.com/} For Windows, Linux and Mac users alike. There are two versions; one frëe (which is ad supported) or for 39.00, you can drop the ads. Opera is very fast with a built-in email client that includes anti-sp@m filters. It also contains the usual pop-up blockers and a nice little zoom function. 4) OmniWeb: {http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omniweb/} An award-winning Web browser strictly for Mac users. Cost is 29.95. Features include ad blocking, history searching, website change notifications, even speech recognition. This is one powerful piece of software. 5) Netscape Navigator: { http://www.channels.netscape.com/ns/browsers/default.jsp} Although Netscape doesn't have the market share it enjoyed in the "old days", it's still alive and well. Netscape 7.1 is based on Mozilla 1.4; both programs are almost identical. Frëe to download. 6) FireFox: {http://www.texturizer.net/firebird} Firefox (aka Firebird) is actually a stripped down version of Mozilla and built for speed. It's only a browser with no built-in email client, so if you need email you'll want to download its companion, Thunderbird. Those who love Mozilla will find many of the same features here. With Firefox you can block pop ups, customize the toolbars, even change its appearance with the use of themes. For Windows, Linux and Mac users. Frëe. These are the heavyweight alternatives to MS Internet Explorer, but if you're looking for something a bit different you'll want to take a look at some of these browsers: 1) Avant Browser: {http://www.avantbrowser.com/} A tabbed browser that's really fast and allows you to view multiple websites in a split window interface. Frëe. 2) SlimBrowser: {http://www.flashpeak.com/} A Windows-based browser with a price tag of zero. It's easy to customize the look of this browser with the use of skins. Includes a spell checker, pop up killers, and a tool for filling in forms. Also includes a language tab for translating different languages. 3) MyIE2: {http://www.myie2.com} Fashioned after Internet Explorer, this tabbed browser is served up at no charge, but they do ask for donations if you're feeling especially charitable. 4) NetCaptor: {http://www.netcaptor.com/} Built on top of I.E.'s interface (without the security flaws), it's another tabbed browser for power users. Frëe version is called "Personal Edition," which contains sponsored ads or you can upgrade to "NetCaptor Pro" for only 29.95. If you're not happy with Internet Explorer, or maybe you're just ready to try something new, download one of these browsers and take "her for a spin." Like a new Car you just meant to take for a "test drive," you may fall in love and decide to keep it permanently.
