#browsers
the web's only as good as
your browser

Upgrade your browser, already!...
Microsoft IE6 is 5 years old (as of 05). It's outdated and in desperate need of an update (I hear IE7 should be out this summer, I'll comment on it when it's out). It used to be that sites worked just fine in IE all the time, but technologies change. Web developers and designers are getting more and more W3C compliant tools to create stunning websites that *should* work in all modern browsers... this ends up being true for pretty much all major browsers except for Microsoft's Internet Explorer.

I've listed some of the best browser choices below (IMHO), along with web plugins you might want to check out. They're free and they work great.

Price: Free	Mozilla FireFox What exactly do you want your browser to do? Surf the web, right? FireFox is a lean, mean web browsing machine without all the extras that slow things down.
Apple.com Price: Free	Apple's Safari If you've got OS X, it comes with Safari, which is a pretty sweet browser. It does have some minor quirks, but it's a great alternative to Microsoft IE 5 for Mac.
CaminoBrowser Price: Free	Camino Camino is a Cocoa application built with tight integration with the Mac OS and based on the Mozilla Gecko rendering engine. It's a fast browser with great CSS support.
Adobe.com Price: Free	~~Macromedia~~ Adobe Flash Player Flash is used to provide slick web content and animation. You can't see it if you don't have the plugin, so get it and keep it updated.
QuickTime.com Price: Free	QuickTime View the best, high-quality video content online with QuickTime from Apple. Available for both Mac and PC and can play H.264 high-def content. Pro version available for $29.99.

There are other browsers that are similar to FireFox and Safari in usability and performance, but in my experience, none seem to be quite as tight of a program as FireFox.
These include Opera, Mozilla, and Konqueror.
