What Will Happen if you remove all your browsers from your computer

You would need to use the terminal along with curl or wget. You could even install Lynx if you had macports. Thats what the true command line junkies do.

I tried deleting IE from WIndows XP a while back t put FF on it. I couldn't delete IE, no matter how hard I tried. I could never decide if it was an OS thing, or my comp was just garbage.

That's because Explorer is every window in Windows. You can't use your computer without it. Pretty good idea on Microsoft's part, really.

You do not need an internet browser to access an FTP server.
You can do it via Terminal (the command line utility).
Heck, you can even do it via Finder!

The point is without the address, you can't connect.
I'm not in the habit of memorizing ip addresses and ftp server addresses, but maybe you are.:cool:
 
You can use the 'ftp' command in the terminal and get a browser again.

I'm curious. What do you think Mozilla's ftp address would be? Because I don't have this memorized and I just tried the most logical thing ftp.mozilla.org and I got a connection.

Just navigate to the obvious directories.

i just wanted ur guys say on what will happen

You will not be able to see a really important thing in your life... called porn. Then you will get a disease (I believe it's called Ihavenoporn) and eventually die. So it's not really worth it.
 
Actually, if you delete all browsers, when you perform a software update, it will allow you to download the latest version of Safari.

I don't see the point of this thread. Who cares and why does it matter? It's like me asking what would happen if I drank all the milk in my refrigerator. :rolleyes:

Can you still go to the internet??

As others have stated, the Internet is more than just the World Wide Web. Some of us were using what is now called the Internet before web browsers existed.

Kind of like decoding The Matrix in your head? :D

But Lynx is itself a web browser, so that is cheating! If you want to delete all of your web browsers, you have to give up the text-based ones too!
 
It's like dividing by zero, only worse.

OP, try it and let us know :p

BTW, don't forget to learn how to restore Safari from the Apple restore CDs before deleting your browsers :D
