Which Internet Browser do you use?

[JimmyChicken]

I'm wondering which Internet Browser people use these days?

I'm looking for the name and version number

Eg. Internet Explorer 6
Netscape 7


And if you don't know its as simple as going to: Help -> About
(in most broswers)

Hello,

At the project I'm currently working I have to use IE 5.5. On my laptop and at home I use Mozilla 1.1 (have yet to download 1.2). I also use Opera 6.0 sometimes at my laptop.

C ya!

[KhanadaRhodes]

What's Opera?

THIS!

i like it better than mozilla and netscape, but ie is still #1 in my heart.

 

[cloudimani]

havent tried opera since its v. early releases year and years ago, but it does look quite cool, then again could I be bothered switching over all my email stuff?

Anyway, I love my mozilla, the email client is excellent and the personal toolbar folder is soooooooooo handy. Use it with the pinball theme for a minimilist toolbar, make your screen seem so much bigger

The reason I was asking is because I'm learning how to become a web designer. And I was curious to see which version of the broswers most people use.

The older the broswer, the more work is required getting the website to display properly. And I really don't want to go to extra time and effort to get a site displaying perfectly in Netscape 4, when the majority of people are using using Internet Explorer 6 (which from the development aspect is the most kindest browser).

Opera has banner ads. I'm sorry. I'm not a demographic.

If you're talking about web design, I would suggest programming for IE 5.0 and, maybe, Netscape 4.x. However, Netscape sufficiently pissed off enough people with Netscape 6 that it has contributed to its own demise, and I know very few people who even run Netscape anymore. Nonetheless, in programming for Netscape 4.x, you would have to forego most interesting uses of CSS/DHTML, as it does not support overlapping layers, and, as such, I generally will program for Netscape 6+.

Even though Netscape has generally become a non-issue, I would encourage having Netscape 7 only because it is strict HTML 4 compliant, while IE 5.0+ is filled with some Microsoft-proprietary tags and will "clean up" your code for you if you mess up. Viewing it in strict HTML 4 should ensure that your page looks good for other browsers, along with IE.

FYI, I use IE 6.

People who design their sites so they only work with evil IE really desperately irritate me.

Dont do it!

I use IE. Only because I hate Netscape and I'm too lazy to download anything else.
