I heard that there is more than FireFox or Opera. I need something that can read sites built for Internet Explorer. I go to school online, and one of the sites isnt read weill with Firefox.

Thanks

There is also Konquerer and Chromium. You should look into the user agent switcher addon for firefox. It does help with some sites that are coded to work with IE.

Opera is another. I believe you can use Internet Explorer under wine but have never needed to.

Yeah, I downloaded Epiphany, and it worked for reading the website. I like the browser, but its lacking.. There is no "Tabs" button, I have to go into the "File" menu to open a new tab. It also opens links into new windows, instead of new tabs..so I have all these darn windows floating about. I went into preferences, and I didn't see an option to set "open links in tabs" like firefox has. Oh well,

I might check out some of the other browsers to get a feel.

Thanks!

As always, very helpful!
