Opera !! what a snazzy little browser especially for Macs and Unix ! It's just an all around great thing sans the java support, which can be downloaded as a seperate package. For the claims that MSN.com blocks Opera I have not run into that yet. I can successfully go about anywhere on the net as any type of browser I like with the option to "identify as browser" setting in the preferences of Opera. You can select MSIE 5 and 3 other versions of Mozilla from the list and pretend to be someone you're not !! Netscape's home actually has given me more problems surfing than MSN has.

I still would suggest having this on the desktop for at least browser checking of page loads and JS handling :)
