    Default Five lesser-known Internet browsers

    Five lesser-known browsers

    We all know Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer. But have you heard of these browsers?

    Flock made quite a splash when it launched, quite suprised to see that it hasn't been included.

    There are probably a lot more browsers out there. Most of the more obscure ones are for specific purposes though, and not for general browsing (like IE 5-6 that were there to attract worms, viruses and rootkits).

    From 1996 to 1998 I used IE 2 to 5 and then switched to Opera - I have never regretted it. All these new-fart browsers are just a flash in the pan I tell ya.

    The Mail client is simply the easiest way for me to create HTML emails. If you know what you are doing, it includes the images and references them in the HTML email so that the rich mail includes the pic and does not need to connect to an outside server. Used to be a part of my old job and SM was the easiest way to do it, period.

    Maxthon is a serious contender. The download is only 6,7 megs. It includes:
    Built in mouse gestures
    Download manager
    Script blockers, pop-up stopper,
    Form filler
    Its own firewall thingy to prevent malicious code.

    Most of these things are add-ons for Firefox, and non-existent for IE. (Does anyone actually use that?)
    Maxthon also has hundreds of plug-ins available.

    It really peeves me when I upgrade Firefox, but my mouse gesture add-on no longer works.

    If your browser is boring, give this one a try.

    Are any of these any good? Between Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera there's so much quality you don't need anything else. Sure is tough to compete with that crowd.

    For Mac users Stainless is worth a look and Fluid is really cool - it's a Site specific browser which makes Desktop Apps from your Web apps.
