Browsers

Ok, I have a question.... are there any web developers here who don't ABSOLOUTELY HATE AOL as a browser type that needs to be worried about while coding? 2nd question... ditto for Netscape. Thanks for your input.

Well I am not a web developer, (am I?) but I do know I prefer AOL's browser for some things (midi's searches), Netscape for and IE for most other browsing purposes (graphic's). When I build a profile here on OH.com, I use IE, because it co-operates the best ;).

I used to LOVE Netscape - then I started web developing professionally. Now I HATE it!! Same goes for AOL. IE is far superior to either of these browsers. IE offers a much more vivid "web world" to the surfer. It's just so much more capable a browser than the alternatives.

I'm no developer but...geeeeeeeeeeez. AOL bites and so does Netscape. They are both the most dull browser type systems I have seen in my use of internet since I have been around. Yuck!! LOL. PS: Hope this was just for fun and rhetorical...

Not understanding the question....Yes AOL sucks, but what do you mean by "as a browser type that needs to be worried about while coding"? AOL uses IE as a default browser. Although they own Netscape now, they still use IE. So when you are coding for IE you are essentially coding for AOL. I have not used AOL since 2000, so it might have changed since then. But I do know it STILL SUCKS. We were with AOL since 1995, never once got our money's worth. LOL I know the original was posting way long ago...but just popped in today

OH man, do I hate aol as a browser!!! I can't list all the problems I have with it- from sizing windows to being able to resize when in AOL and so much more! Glad to know I'm not alone!!! (sorry for the late reply- I just found this board)

I'm a web developer and I don't like AOL or Netscape! There is a new browser that is getting a lot of buzz in the industry. It's called FireFox. Read the review here: http://www.download.com/3000-2356_4-10208565.html

The day I had AOL and use its browser I was very disappointed, but being a computer tech has its advantage you get to do lots of research and I found a good browser and its like a upgrade for IE so I recommend this browser and its call advanced browser try it you like it. www.advancedbrowser.com
