Or, instead, you could use a browser produced by someone who's not
just after money and visibility.

If you want quality rather than cutesy, try
<http://lynx.browser.org/>. 

If you want quality _and_ cutesy, and are willing to wait for an X11
port, or are happy to put up with the Win95 version, try
<http://opera.nta.no/>

Or you could go with the standard, try <http://www.w3.org/Amaya/>.

Tell me again where the idea that MSIE and Netscape were the only
alternatives came from. 

Cheers,

I don't speak for anyone save myself. PGP encrypted mail preferred.
