When I was finally let surf the net we were on Microsoft's ISP and could only operate their "MSN" browser at the time. Eventually we went to IE when they got rid of the shitty MSN Browser.
I had heard of Netscape but never used it. My cousin did and claimed it was 'incredibly slow", but his machine also sucked anyway. When I started attending MLC I learned about Firefox and started to use it instead. Heard about Chrome and found it was useful for quick info hunts, and now I use Firefox and Chrome. Though mostly Firefox. Oh, and I did use Safari for a short time on my friend's Mac, before I crashed the OS really hard. ____________________ "Awesomeness is never pointless." - Sofi |

| @Bloodstar:
Ha. Bump it up a year and I'd say the same thing. In fact, I recall there being a few iMac G3s as recent as a year and a half ago. ... I also used iCab 2.9.9 once or twice in a 68k Mac emulator (Basilisk II), but I couldn't do much as I had to type in an IP address in order to access any website. That might have been because of some lack of knowledge though. If I were to try again, I might be able to access the internet through actual URLs. |

Originally posted by Metal_Man88 Well, I don't have a copy of Basilisk II with me, but I do have a copy of Sheepshaver. I installed iCab 3.0.5 and Classilla 9.2.3. Both browsers were somewhat sluggish, even with 512 MB installed. But that was expected. I was able to set it up and get it working through a guide on eMaculation. Thanks for your suggestion, but Mac OS 9 wanted me to type in the subnet mask and router address too. From a five minute test: Jul looks nice in both browsers. TCRF wasn't that bad either. Google was also usable, but iCab was definitely less nice looking. The irony is that Microsoft's website displays way better than Apple's website (although it is usable in Classilla). iCab displaying Apple's website looks horrific, since the images don't display correctly even with millions of colors. ADDENDUM:I tried running iCab in Basilisk II a few years ago, before I was even aware of eMaculation or any other site focused on Mac Emulation. |

Originally posted by paulguy I wonder about using those older browsers today- I assume IE5.5 has many known security issues, but on the hand, how many people still bother to try to hack IE5.5 users?  ____________________ |

>>ESTABLISHING LINK...DONE. >>FETCHING POST DATA...DONE. >>EXECUTING POSTDISP.BIN...
AOL integrated and/or IE 4 to 6, then additionally Firebird/Firefox 0.x to 1.0.x, then pretty much exclusively Firefox 1.5 to (currently) 7.0.1 on desktop, 8.0.x Beta on laptop. Never even really "flirted" with ex. Opera or Chrome, I think. I kinda miss the old Firefox versions' low memory requirements, though... I think 2.x worked flawlessly with 512 MB or so of RAM even for extended periods of usage, while everything 3.x and higher keeps hogging more and more memory the longer it runs. This instance is at 270 MB right now... ____________________ cu xdaniel - Follower of the Church of Madoka
