I hate having to support IE, as I want to support anyone that opposes Microsoft, but IE is the superior browser. I've come over to the darkside, and I suggest you do the same.

Opera is another browser you could try.

For people using Macs there's iCab and Safari.

Or, try a Google for browsers. Give some of the 'esoteric' ones a try.

Well I followed what seemed to be easy instructions, but now I've got some strange purple background with black text...all readable.

Maybe I should stop using Netscape . . . .

I'm using Mozilla 1.4 and have no problem with colors.

Fool, the lesser evil is still Evil!!

Download Mozilla 1.4 and start using tabbed browsing. (Opera had it first, I know. But Opera ain't free.) My home page is 4 websites I frequent opened at once in 4 tabs simultaneously. Great stuff.

And I don't suffer from ActiveX controls littering my system.

Netscape 7 for the Mac uses tabs.

Netscape (6 and up) is a branded version of the open source Mozilla browser. NS7 is based on Moz 1.3, I believe. Tabbed browsing entered Mozilla around 1.2 or 1.3 (or perhaps earlier, I don't remember).

I use tabbed browsing, too -- ALT + TAB, for switching back and forth with my Internet Explorer Windows.

The default color scheme has thrown me off a few times. I'll be typing colored text in the reply box, then change my mind and select it and change it back to black, so that it matches the rest of the non-colored text in the box. Then when I post, the text I changed is actually black, and impossible to read. So I have to edit it and find the gray/yellow color that most text appears in by default and change it to that so it looks the same. But now I know that some people are going around changing their color schemes, so those people will see the text not as a default color but as weird yellow/gray text in the middle of normal text. When will the craziness end?
