omniweb because it rox

it has nice font rendering and makes everything look good

although i do wish some javascript would work... and i wish macromedia would install plugins for it instead of forcing me to do it manually (minor complaint, but a complaint no less)

As much as I hate MS, I still think they have the best browser available. I've tried iCab, Mozilla, Netscape, Chimera and they all are either slow, or incomplete.

I do a lot of web work, so it's important to have a browser that meets most of the W3C standards. Right now IE is it for me.

Isn't that hacker-speak for "elite"?

As in: I am an 31337 hAX0r! I 0wn j00!

LOL

I have been using Netscape 6.2.1 for a while. It works fast under dial-up.

I plan to still use Netscape after the switch to Cable.

Translation:

"Good luck if you can understand this. You probably have a hell of a time trying to do so because you are not an elite hacker like me!"

Hopefully, that craze of mangling the English language will die off.

And you're right. Mangling the English language is crazy, it's already mangled enough! English is whacky.

internet explorer (only for os x) is one of the 3 good programs to ever come from microsoft. that, windows98 (which i guess is not really a 'program'), and Age of Empires (the first one).
i never liked ie before this version although it does have it's down sides: only superficial stuff like when you open the download manager (wich is awesome and that's where netscape dies) it won't scroll to the bottom automatically.
netscape for X is dumb and slow (since the AOL people got a hold of it and made it crap)
omniweb is great except for the all-too-oftem crashes and the fact that the status animated icon is not big or noticable enough. i need to be able to see out of the corner of my eye if a page is loading. the download manager is a little clunky.
iCab i haven't tried much but it seems like nothing special.

i need to run my messages through stuffit before posting them
