I started out as a Netscape for Mac user. I stayed that way until there was a viable alternative, and that alternative was never IE, no matter how much Steve Jobs stood on stage and said he loved it.
- whatusername 15y agoReally? I thoguh IE5 was a really solid browser on the mac.
- DanBC 15y agoIE on mac was created by a different team, and was very different form IE on Windows. It was a popular browser. I have still to find anyone who actually used any of the IEs that MS released for Unix.
- tjmc 15y agoThat may be true for the Mac, but the vast majority of users were on Windows. And on Windows, IE would have won the browser wars on its own merits without Microsoft's dirty tricks. As the GP said - IE3 was better than Netscape 3 and IE4 was streets ahead. Netscape 4 was the worst release of a major browser that I've seen.
