Which do you use...Internet Explorer or Netscape? (1 Viewer)

[Neil Joseph]

I find that both act differently for the site I have designed and I want to get a feeling of how many people use each browser. Feel free to add your comments as to why you refer your browser.
I use Internet Explorer.

Netscape.
IE is too "slow" in loading pages for my tastes.
But I do use IE sometimes if I need to access some sites to order stuff and Netscape burps on those particular sites.

IE. Netscape had too many glitches and I just didn't care for it.

IE 5.01SP2.
Netscape lost the plot ages ago.

IE 5 on the Mac, Netscape 6 on Windows.

Explorer, I decided it was time to give Netscape the boot after it started deleting my favorites on a regular basis, and inserting its own weird sites in my favorites folder, creepy stuff.

Steve, sure it wasn't evil hand screwing up your bookmarks?
I use Mozilla, the best browser at the moment closely followed by Opera. Mozilla is an open source project and available for almost every platform. It is still in development but a lot more stable than IE, Opera or any Netscape version. Netscape 6 uses its rendering engine.

IE v4.x thru v6 and Netscape 6.1
Need to support web development for all these
I personally use IE v6 at home

 

[nousername]

I use both. Some websites seem to work on one but not the other...

 

[Cees Alons]

IE 5.5 SP2

 

[Ricky Hustle]

IE6. As a developer, I have NO respect for Netscape. It's a piece of crap and I wish it would go away forever.

Last time I checked (earlier this week) less than 15% of all users are now browsing with Netscape. I'm also a professional developer, and, on many occasions, have been been forced to change my design just because of that 15%. My biggest beefs are with the way that Netscape 4.x handles background images in tables and its quirky acceptance of style sheets. For what it's worth, I downloaded 6.2 yesterday and was pleasantly surprised.
To answer the question: IE 5.5

As a web developer, I have to use both, but definitely prefer IE (5.0 or 5.5). There are so many things that just don't work right in Netscape.
One odd exception: for some reason, on my PC at work, IE freezes if I press the Back button on any page on, get this, Microsoft.com! I have to use Netscape to access the MSDN Knowledge Base. How's that for ironic? But IE works better on every other site.

I've given Netscape a shot about 5 different times, and I honestly loathe it. Yes, IE is not perfect, but I consider it about 1,100 times better than Netscape.
Also, the Opera browser isn't half bad!

I use Opera... it's much faster than Netscape or IE.

Darren, if you like Netscape 6.2 you will love the latest Mozilla version. N6.2 is based on a 2 month old Mozilla build
(every night a new build is made, latest milestone is 2 weeks old). I believe that Mozilla/Gecko will be the ultimate cross platform browser. As I said in my post before it is available for almost every platform out there. It won't replace IE on Windows machines (although I know a lot people using it instead of IE including me) but as it might very well become the standard browser on Linux, BeOS, Unix or even Mac, it will have its place.

I use both. I am starting to like IE better than Netscape though.
