Mac Browsers

Netscape Navigator: I loved this. Simple, easy and nice to use. It's quite fast. My test sites loaded (www.muse.mu, and www.miniclip.com). The tabbed searching was annoying after a while, and needing to be on the tab to close it was annoying.
Internet Explorer: It was a poor browser, it had no tabbed browsing, it was slow and the test sites wouldn't load. The worst browser I tested. How did it beat Navigator.
RealPlayer: The second worst browser, no tabbed browsing, slow, but the test sites did load. It did have an annoying layout.
Flock: I liked this, the social side was clever. It worked nicely with yahoo. The sites worked. Although it was cluttered and not that fast.
Opera: It's fast, it has a nice speed dial feature, and add-ons are available. The sites loaded. Unfortunately the layouts annoying.
Firefox: Plenty of add-ons, very fast, simple layout, though it is ugly. The sites loaded
Safari: Nice layout, nice bookmarks, the sites loaded. It is slow and not great to use.
