The browser war plods on, with Netscape and Microsoft continuing to make steady improvements. Explorer 5.0 and Communicator 4.5 offer no revolutionary changes from their predecessors, but with a likely lizard called Gecko coming up strong, big things are definitely to be expected soon. Explorer and Communicator both now implement basic HTML and Javascript with few problems, but when it comes to Cascading Style Sheets, dynamic HTML and other advanced features of HTML 4.0, both browsers come up wanting. We'll look at the newest features, drop some hints and air some pet peeves concerning the major browsers, and have a brief squint at the 3 major email clients, too. Little, if any, progress has been made on the standards compliance front, and the two browsers continue to display Web pages quite differently, especially when Style Sheets are involved.
Opera is well worth a look.
Opera fits on a floppy, and installs in seconds. The designers' goal is a package for the experienced Web user that features broad compatibility without a lot of frills. When I last reviewed Opera I found it impressive, but weak in the implementation department, especially for Java and Javascript . There's a new Lizard in town.
