Opera is my favorite browser, and I use it all the time. Rarely, I have
to break out NeoPlanet to view a site that uses "advanced" non-standard
Microsoft Java. Opera is smaller, faster, and friendlier than the Big
Two. Available from http://www.opera.com/
Generally, Opera can handle any plugin that Netscape uses. But Java is
a special case. To use Java with Opera, you need to download the Java
intrepreter from Sun Microsystems, the inventors of Java. Full
instructions available at http://www.opera.com/support/operate.htm .
Opera has many features I like, but the main one is its ability to have
multiple windows open on one screen, with only one copy of Opera
running. I often have four or more sites onscreen at once. You can
resize, tile, and minimize windows with one or two mouse clicks. Great
for surfing! While http://www.sluggy.com and its heavy graphics load,
you can be chuckling over http://www.theonion.com .
I have Internet Explorer also, because my email client (Becky!) won't
read HTML-enhanced email without it. There are a few interfaces out
there that use the IE engine, but are friendlier and more customizable.
The best of these is NeoPlanet. Free from http://www.neoplanet.com/ .
