I received some great feedback from the Low End Mac readers inregards to our Classic Mac OS Web series.

WaMCom, Mozilla 1.2.1, and the alternate Mozilla port of 1.3.1 werewell regarded. All versions have some odd bugs, but nothing too severe,mostly some small interface issues.

One reader had some very interesting notes on Internet Explorer. Infact, his website (in German, our English adaptation below) containssome goodnotes overall. I still say Internet Explorer is an okay browserwith some neat features, but I do miss tabs, popup blocking, and a fewother extras.

Also, I find Internet Explorer is a tad unstable on my Macs. If youcan get Internet Explorer running stable for you, by all means give ita try. Microsoft is discontinuing support for Internet Explorer on theMac, so you might want to grab the download while you can.

Another reader found Netscape 4.x to be very lacking in comparisonto the other browsers. Also, while limited, Netscape 3 did a better jobfor our reader with basic browsing. You can even add Flash andQuickTime support by copying the plugins from Netscape 4.x to Netscape3. Thanks for the tips, Chris.

Also, Opera 5 had a few fans - over Opera 6.0.3 anyway - but thefans did not suggest using Opera over WaMCom, iCab, or even InternetExplorer. Opera 5 may prove to be more stable than 6.0.3, but it lackstabs or a password manager. It seems to have some page rendering issuesas well. That's understandable, as Opera 5 is now 3 versions old.

Keep the comments coming. I don't have much information on Netscape6 or 7, and I believe both are available for PPC Macs running theclassic Mac OS.

Also, any suggestions for good chat, FTP, or other web applicationswould be greatly appreciated.

Web Browserfür Mac OS 8 und 9 (Googletranslation)

Appendix: Web Browsers for Mac OS 8 and 9

Adapted from Web Browserfür Mac OS 8 und 9 with a lot of help from the Google translation.

The selection of Web Browsers for the classic Mac OS is reduced -iCab is the only up-to-date one still being developed. With a little'tuning' of the available browsers serve as passable Internetprograms:

Assign the program of more memory.
Turn off virtual memory.
Use a RAM disk and store the browser's cache there.
If you connect by Modem/PPP, set the name server address toautomatic configuration in the TCP/IP control panel.
Now and then examine whether the name server address still matchesyour current ISP.
Be sure you've installed the CarbonLibversion 1.6 system extension.

The following browsers are available:

Internet Explorer

Stably and fast, with print preview, variable text size,configurable symbol border, and much more. For PowerPC-based Macsrunning Mac OS 8 or later. (DownloadIE 5.1). The Mac versions will no longer be available fromMicrosoft after January 2006 (info).

Tips:

You can search the Internet from the address box: Simply enter aquestion mark, a blank space, and the search word in the addressfield.
With JavaScript switched on, activate the 'reference in case oferrors' option, otherwise you can't break out of a poorly programmedscript ('options: Web contents: Active contents: Active scripts').

Troubleshooting:

Clean, new install of the program (info).
Examine and/or recreate the Desktop file (e.g. with TechTool Lite).
Replace Apple's 'Internet Config Extension' with a fresh original(download).
If you have several partitions, install the program on the one youboot from.
Simply wait: some problems are caused 'on the other side of theline'.
Change to another ISP.

Further optimization:

Store the History.html file on a RAM disk and put an alias to it atthe original position in the System Folder (Preferences:Explorer).
Make an alias of the RAM disk and name it Temporary Files. Use thealias to replace Temporary Files in Preferences: Explorer.
