    Have you seen natwest explorer? It can't even show pictures let alone download things! Also, you can't change your homepage, you start off with TWO places that you can go to because there is no adress bar. You have to click on the natwest search bookmark and SEARCH for the thing you want. And the search engine is poor.

    Re: LEAST favourite internet browser

    FF Is based on Mozilla. IE is basec on mozilla. I think Mozilla might be based on Mozilla.

    Netscape owns mozilla? No, I think Netscapse is just based on Mozilla. I could be wrong on that one though, not sure.

    Re: LEAST favourite internet browser

    I wrote a browser about 3 years ago in VB6. I was very drunk at the time. It didn't work at all. Wouldn't even compile.

    You should all vote for that one because it did truly suck.

    chemicalNova is trying to do the same thing. I don't think it will be done for a year, though... or 7.

    Is that your only browser for Linux? I used it when I was telnetting to a unix server to load pages without graphics. That's the only reason I liked it. It was FAST!

    Why would you want to load a page without graphics?

    Re: LEAST favourite internet browser

    Lynx didn't have graphics, and neither did telnet. Also, dialing in at 2400 baud was really slow. I can't even remember the name of the first browser I used.
    I got it free from my ISP. Before IE ever was. Windows 3.1
