Hello. I primarily use firefox and mozilla as my browser(s) of choice.
But when I took an html class last year I learned that many web pages
use browser specific features. And that other browsers may not render
them properly. So I was taught that it was a good idea to keep more
than one browser around in case you wanted to use a page that wasn't
compatible with your favorite, (and to view any page I might make with
as many "DIFFERENT" browsers as possible before deciding they worked
properly.)
Well I recently found a product I wanted to order on-line. But neither
Firefox, nor it's cousin Mozilla was able to actually add the product to
the "shopping cart" This got me looking at browsers again. But everything
I got on this fc1 (including konqueror) seams to be based on mozilla.
I'm looking for something else. Not for regular use, but so that when I
send a request to some webmaster to make his/her page more compatible
with my software, I want to be able to show that I tried more than one
kind of browser before I decided it was the website, rather than my
chosen software that's at fault. But I simply won't boot windows to test
it with IE (Generaly I disable the cable modem before I boot windows
one any of the rare occasions that I even go there any more.)
Are there any functional browsers for fc1 that don't use mozilla's
rendering engine? (preferably one that can render pages written for IE)
