There is an example in my Signature right now, but if I remove it, here's a makeshift copy of PM, tho a lot of it won't work unless I change all the local paths to full paths :D.

I agree, I tried both, and IE is much better.

You see, there's no real web page you're viewing, the HTML just goes right into the browser.

You can try this yourself by typing ABOUT: <html>"code"</html>
into the browser, or just type ABOUT: txt

Examples:

About: <html><text><font color=red><big>HI!</font></html>

About: Hi, I'm bob!

Sorry, would have included this in the last post by my example stopped working when I did

Netscape is a non-contender anymore. It's only between IE and Opera. Netscape is so buggy it's insane.

Hmm... Moose and SM, you forgot about Mozilla.

I use Galeon, which uses the Mozilla core but a cleaner UI and is much faster than mozilla. Of couse, I use IE too.

Galeon has features that IE doesn't have but IE appears slightly faster. In addition, Galeon has some weird bugs with pages (such as the code tag here).

Hah. What is this, 5 years ago? There are a lot more browsers now.

IE has holes ahoy, and Netscape is slow as hell. And both crash regularly for me.

Opera was, and still is, my browser of choice, and (forget browser name) is looking better by the day.

Uh.. I think personal experiences reign over all the web design experience you can try and shove in our face. The fact your trying to refute someone's opinion (as uneducated as it may be) is stupid.

[edit] There was some minimalist browser based off of Mozilla, I can't remember the name. I thought it wa Chimera, but that's a port to Cocoa/OSX. [/edit]
