Anyone want to recommend some others? GUI or not GUI? I use Nutscrape when I'm feeling lazy or the site is unviewable in Lynx, and it looks like I've just given away what my other choice of browser is. I've also tried Chimera, and didn't like it that much (can't remember why). Mosaic is a lot faster and more reliable than Netscape, its only real downside is that it doesn't know about tables. I looked at Arena as well, didn't like it. It looks like Nutscrape is the best available, so that must really show how bad the rest are :-( At least Microsoft haven't thrust their useless offering on the unix world :-) -- Ben Smithurst ben@scientia.demon.co.uk send a blank message to ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk for PGP key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
