Choose your poison.
Regarding Opera, well hey, it's kewl to see another option added to the
of disaster browsers. I have not used Opera myself so I can't say anything about its performance; all I know is it's commercial and strictly adheres to W3C standards. License fees are always frowned upon, and to pay for software to surf the web?!? Ya gotta be kidding. Regarding strict adherance to W3C standards, well hey, this is great for pages that haven't been written yet. But what about all the crappy pages already out
that aren't W3C compliant? Are they gonna be rewritten to be "best viewed with Opera"?
Well its performance is good, but I understand what you are saying. There is a browser tug of war being played by Microsloth and Nutscrape and each is trying to define there own standards. In my opinion I think they should just drop the W3C and go with something like flash (vectorable

Flash has the ability to do far more than HTML (CSS, templates, javascript, HTML1, HTML2, HTML3, HTML4, etc, etc, etc), Without all of the inconsistencies. I'm no flash advocate I just enjoy a good site.
Flash is a "closed" standard though. With HTML, javascript, they are more "open" to the community. If someone finds a bug or would like to add something to HTML specs, there is a proctrocol and a way to go about it. If there is a bug in flash or you would like to add a fearture to it, you are at the mecry of macromedia. Plus HTML can be done by anyone in vi to create their personal or professinal web page, and they are free to do so. If you want to do something with flash, you have to first find a platforms that it runs on without crashing every 7 minutes, then you have to pay a HUGE licensing fee if you are a commerical company, and for what? When people go to view the site in lynx, opera or a browser that doesn't have to flash plugin installed, it either crashes the browser, looks like junk or takes 30 minutes of the users time while they install a plugin just to view your site. If you used standard HTML they would be able to view the site without all this fuss of installing a plugin, broken up html and having to restart their web browser, with HTML, it is there and it works no matter what platform or browser you are using. Go with something standard.
Probably not.

Hello everyone
I know this is off topic, but I urgently need help to prevent my
dropping Netscape in favour of IE (horror)
Therefore I would like to ask if anyone knows websites that don't work
from properly
with IE or better even, don't work at all with it.
Unfortunately I think it will be much easier to find sites that Netscape crashes on. I know a lot of em. It really is painful to browse in Linux and kdm is not any better. I use lynx when I want stability.
Opera will be releasing a beta soon for linux (www.opera.com). I think
company this
will be a good replacement for nutscrape.
Also known bugs (preferably security) in the latest versions (4-5)
would be
helpfull.
You can also mail me directly at my work: guy.vansanden@siemens.atea.be
Thaks for any help you can offer.
Kind regards
Guy
