When I tried to install it it said that it needed Internet Explorer 4.01.

Netscape 6.2 is climbing back out of the abyss that was Netscape 6.0, so you might try that out.

Opera seems rock solid, but I'm too cheap to pay for a web browser.

Anyhow, I'm going to be getting my iBook soon, so I will be using OmniWeb (free, but only for Mac OS X).

Neoplanet, is just i.e with skins. Even automatically opened (by the scripts at the site you're visiting) are i.e windows.
At the early begining they said, they will launch a version that'll work with Netscape but they never did. I'm affraid, since they use IE in the background, even the history of IE is updated.
Mozilla is cool and opera as well. I also keep Netscape 4.x. The only site that I know is hotmail which you cannot open with any browser but IE.
(God how pitty they are.)
Cheers

Any product based on the IE engine will keep history/cookies the same way as IE does. Use a mozilla engine based browser to avoid that problem.

Also I find that I can get into hotmail with any browser I choose to use. There is a small problem with group deletion under some browsers but they all work well otherwise.

Hey Gump,

If folks here are concerned about their privacy, isn't Netscape something to avoid like the Plague?

I suppose you are an ardent AOL fan?

Opera6 is good and stable, though the v6beta would run low on resources after a couple of hours surfing (with 256Mb in a Win98 box).  It is a free download if you don't mind the banner ads. Opera (http://www.opera.com/download/)
3.2Mb/10.7Mb with Java
