Netscape Navigator v3.01 (32-bit)
At one time netscape's flagship, this is still a competent browser for today's internet. Only 5.8 mb, it carries a number of inline helpers and plugins, a functional mail client program with support for news groups and will run creditably on slightly underpowered machines. Netscape 3.0 is still widely supported but many sites. If you intend to acquire software through FTP, this should be your browser of choice.

For a fast internet Browser that fits on a diskette, this is an excellent qualifier. Once you become familiar with the interface, the large number of bookmarks and ability to auto-import from both Netscape and Internet Explorer will impress you. For the first time user, configuring this browser can be intimidating because of the wide range of options, but if you already have one installed, opera will capture those settings. In most cases, the default settings will work. Opera does not carry many helpers or plugins but, it does support java and is a full FTP client. One of the most impressive features of Opera is the ability to view up to four web sites at the same time in one interface. Unfortunately, Opera only has a send mail feature and requires mail support from another program.
