Can you name any internet browsers that are still in use today other than the ones listed in the details?

Make sure you have all versions of Internet Explorer on there. 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are all still in use today.

There has to be someone somewhere still using Netscape…

http://browsershots.org/ lists about 100 (if you count all the different versions of each browser).

The site also lets you test without actually installing all those browsers.

@jaytkay Excellent answer, thanks!

There’s Tor.

Apart from Firefox, Chrome and IE, the rest are so marginally used that you can ignore them for just about any target audience. Especially considering how some browsers are based on (the rendering engines of) others. For example, Chrome and Safari use the same rendering engine, the only reason that you would test in both is when testing Javascript, for which they differ. Maxthon uses IE’s engine, I believe. The only other significant (where significant is stretching the definition a bit, as it is used very, very rarely) engine is Opera’s, so you might want to test in that.

You might also like to test in Lynx, a text based browser. If it works (i.e. is usable) there, it probably also works in browsers that might have images, Javascript or whatnot disabled, and for people use screen readers.

IE 5 and 6 might still be in use, but only by a really, really small percentage of users. So small, in fact, that sites like Facebook and Google have stopped supporting it, and Microsoft has as well.

@HungryGuy Ha, Netscape Navigator. I remember that. Made some quick online searches, it’s still available for download. It appears to be somehow related to FireFox now.

@Symbeline Netscape released the source code of Navigator after it had lost the first browser wars. Firefox was based on that :)

Yeah it mentioned something to do with FF, but I had no idea what it meant. So FF is based off of Netscape? Huh. The moar u no lol.

I’ reading this with the exclusively OS X Camino browser

@ratboy It’s based on the Firefox code, though,

What makes one browser better compared to another? Just curious.

@mazingerz88 Maybe the features? I find it odd though that FF no longer has a refresh button…or is my version all messed up? Also FF is cool that if your PC crashes or your connection fails, it retains what you were doing. So, when you connect again, you can go back to where you were, and everything will be saved, even text. So it’s good for Jellies who type a lot…your questions and answers aren’t ruined if the computer messes up, for example.

As far as I know, IE doesn’t have that, they just give you some shitty error reporting message. Lols.

@Symbeline The “Go” button that you click to go to a new link changes into a refresh button when a website is loaded and a Stop button when it is loading.
