Last month our Pentium II 400 PC at work started having some SERIOUS problems. As the days went by it just went slower... and slower... and s l o w e r... until our K6 166 in the next room became a speed demon by comparison. It felt like we were running...

Pros: Free
Cons: Yet another poorly implemented program that is more marketing than substance

Aside from being a geek, I make web pages for a living. As a consequence of this I need multiple browsers to test my work on. So Microsoft has caused me no end of headaches with their dodgy coding that only allow one version of Internet Explorer to be...

Pros: Extremely fast, intuitive handling, tons of improvements
Cons: None so far

Finally – it’s here. And how… WOW!!!

This is the first time Microsoft’s products keep the promise. The stakes were high, the expectation even higher and the tension massive. The result? What a browser!!!

If you are...

Pros: best features, free, best look and feel
Cons: none

And the browser war's winner is..
..if not clear in the last release (MSIE 4) then it is clear at latest now: the winner in the war of PC web browsers is Microsoft's IE 5.

I have seen many people, some real hardliners, switching from...

Pros: Customizable, Multi-tasking is no problem
Cons: It doesn't go away without reformatting the hard drive

Eons ago, my internet life started with Netscape and I was convinced it was the better of the two browsers. I've been using Internet Explorer at work for a year now and at home for the last two months.

A Bulb Goes Off
I'm not sure...

Pros: It's pretty much the only game in town.
Cons: I dunno--I'd like to see a ROUND browser, maybe.

Since IE and Netscape are basically the Coke and Pepsi of browsers, I can't offer much in basis of comparison. I've used them both extensively and although Netscape certainly has its share of good points, I always come back to IE. Although I'd be...

Pros: Free
Cons: Security holes

And over the near term future, I am going to determine how many things I can move off of Windows, and onto Linux via replacement software, or WINE (Windows Emulation). You may be wondering why? Is it related to the exhorbiant hardware requirements that...

Pros: Great Features, customizable, & user friendly!
Cons: some page default errors, but they are rare.

This release is the browser we've all been waiting for: one that is stable, fast, compatible, easy to install, and has a lot of new features to help us all get our Internet work done. IE users range from working Mothers just browsing the net checking...

Pros: Personal customization of toolbars
Cons: May be slower than Netscape

Edited June 28, 2004. ===================== With technology, things change at an extremely quick pace. You may be Number 1 today, but tomorrow, you can easily fall to Number 2. It's been a very long time since I last wrote this review on the IE 5 ...

Pros: It works
Cons: Clunky, resource hog, many annoying features

I've been using IE for about 2 months now, and while I'm resigned to it, I'm not sure I'll ever like it. I used Netscape for years, but finally gave up when it just wouldn't stop crashing, no matter how many times I uninstalled and reinstalled it. (See...

Pros: Free, autocomplete, remembers passwords, faster than ie4, integrates well with windows 95 and 98 alike
Cons: If you have a slow connection it will take you a long time to download it

I have been using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 and “Internet Tools” since they were first released to members of the Microsoft Site Developer’s Network in the summer of 1998. I can honestly say, right from the start, I liked it much...

Pros: Very attractive, Search Assistants
Cons: ?

I haven't wiped the smile off my face since yesterday when I read 401402's epinion of Internet Explorer 5 for the mac. I have been so eagerly awaiting it's release. First let me start right off by saying I don't usually like BillyWare, but I loved...

Pros: Very good compatibility, fast and few problems.
Cons: IE uses lots of disk space for speed, redrawing pages. And beware of MS safety holes!

I hate to say this, but I ought to admit that so far IE really beats Netscape. As a web designer, I don't really care which browser is to be used, which company is going bankruptcy because of which company. What I do care is Standard.

...

Pros: Print preview, smart tags, CSS1 standard, image handling, media bar
Cons: Personal bar, Yet to be released

Note to readers: This article is a bit technical

I have been a fan of Internet Explorer since IE3. Though Netscape 6 is a major improvement in browser interface and layout, mail integration, the parsing of web pages was not effective....
