08/31/02: mendo rates the browsers:

Posted By: mendo


Notes re: this assessment... I run all of these at once... the version # is the one I've had the best luck with...

1. Internet Explorer 5.5 - Numba ONE, mutha fucka's... I hate Microsoft, but when Billy Boy and his Henchmen put their minds to it, look out world... the most friendly towards us HTML geeks; it knows what you wanted to do when you wrote that imperfect code... allows for text size fluctuations mo' betta than others... Price= FREE

Grade = A

2. Mozilla 1.0 - Numba TWO, sisters and brothers... supposedly nothing more than "Netscape w/o Chrome" but *way more* than that... fast... fast... leaves Netscape in the dirt on more ways than one... less junk on home page, way faster, blah... Price = FREE

Grade = A-

3. Opera 6.0 - From one of the european countries who think we'll pay for a browser... claims to be "The World's Fastest Browser"... pretty fast, alright, but it seems to be because it dosen't update pages until you tell it to... OK for static pages, but worthless for message boards like Mr Cranky's... <and> Price = $19.95 <and> from what I remember from earlier versions, you have to pay for every new version.... hmmmm....

Grade B

4. Netscape 4.5 - TOTAL PIECE OF SHIT!!! <and> it's way better than Version 6... a joke... I'm too bored from writing all these words to go into it now, but the peeps who put out Netscape should go kill themselves... same engine as Mozilla, but what was the corporate whore mind-set thinking when they put this garbage out?!?!?!? Slow, if it connects at all; BUTT-UGLY; gets WORSE in the new incarnations (V6.0)...

Grade D
