IE is much more forgiving of code errors (to a point) than Netscape or Mozilla (NS is now largely built on Mozilla). I have seen many sites that would load seemingly OK in IE, but Mozilla and NS would balk at them. These same sites also tended to make IE burp later during surfing as I look back.
I have found code errors on UMD, as well as many other sites. I suspect that it's the reason. Also, NS and Mozilla are still free.
Opera comes in two flavors; free and pay. The free version is considered 'adware' (NOT 'spyware', as far as I can tell). If you use AdAware and the free version of Opera, double check the files found before deleting them, as Opera will not behave at all if the ad-fetching files are deleted!!

To react on your opinion. I really don't think that netscape is slower than IE. I know that it does take somewhat longer to startup, no doubt about that, but surfing is about the same, even somewhat faster sometimes. A browser which is really fast and starts in a second is called Opera. Take a look at www.opera.com .

By w@mboy - Sun 17/11/02 08:02:12 GMT Sorry I'm not totally sure why I posted that, Netscape is slower than IE if you are using windows anyway, if you are on Linux then you'd probably be using Mozilla even if your disto comes with Netscape. Netscape is just a pain in the ass for web developers.

By FountainFrolic - Sun 17/11/02 06:34:38 GMT Microsoft most certainly does NOT own Netscape! Please check out your info a bit better before posting such stuff as fact! Netscape is wholly owned by AOL Time Warner. Microsoft does not now, and has never had any financial interest in Netscape whatsoever. |

By w@mboy - Sun 17/11/02 05:07:27 GMT Go here http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.asp and enjoy downloading, Micro$oft own Netscape now so there isn't really any reason to use it.

By Don - Sun 17/11/02 04:34:06 GMT The new UMD locks up my computer. Have to reboot everytime. I guess it is new software that my older Netscape cannot handle. (It is not the only site that does this.) I have been using Joys Of Wet Clothing link page for the last couple of weeks and am grateful for it. Would appreciate names of other link pages if anyone can help. Thanks
