But, in the end, I don't have many complaints about XP and IE. I wish
IE had a popup blocker like Netscape. The popups do get through, but
I have never had a problem with throwing them away as soon as they
pop up. I do highly recommend Netscape. I have found that it renders
everything very closely to IE and FireFox. Some minor differences but
nothing great.


FYI, I have IE6, with Service Pack 2 (for XP Home Edition), and that
includes a Microsoft pop-up blocker. It works better than StopZilla's
blocker, and it's free.

I also have IE6, but I run XP Pro with Service Pack 2. I have not found
that the Microsoft pop-up blocker is better. I hit a site, a couple of
months ago. Before I connected, my counter was around 900 popups blocked.
The next time I looked at it, it was 9,000 popups blocked. I didn't even
notice a glitch. This was with Netscape. With IE, I would not have been
so lucky.

IE has a lot of good points and is the most used browser. I develop my
web pages using Netscape, but wouldn't publish any of them if I didn't
first test them with IE. I run a monitor on my web site and IE has a
80 percent share of all browsers, but it is also the most targeted.
Netscape is only running at 10-12 percent share, with all the rest
filling in the last 8 percent.

Netscape is also free.
