OS.... WindowsXP
Browsers...Netscape 4.7 and 6, MIE 6.0.2600, Mozilla 1.0 and EarthNavigator

I ran across EarthNavigator while surfing about 1 year ago and decided to try out the evaluation (30 day without adds).
I just dont like it the darn thing. Why? I don't know!
The only thing I use it for is just to test my webpages on it and thats all.
earthnavigator.com
I just went to their link using my MIE browser and about 10 popup adds came up..LOL That alone makes me hate it..LMAO

As for Oprea, I never used it or tryed it.

You might check out Opera

It is lightening fast and has got some great intended functionality in security, privacy, cookie mgmt, multiple pages open, online dictionary, source viewing, multi-platform support, etc, But...it's a bit buggy yet...but worth a free download....

I paid for it, and I was pleased with 6.01, upgraded to 6.03 which seems worse (ignores link history after restart), I'll upgrade to 6.04 this weekend.

My biggest 3 peeves:
1) cookie filtering not working quite right
2) bookmark mgmt almost non-existant
3) seems to have memory leaks which catch up after about 2 weeks solid heavy use.

There are a couple freebies Book Mark Priest and Opera File Explorer which make things tolerable.

Book Mark Priest lets you convert bookmarks between IE, NN, and Opera....so you can them all in-sync (assuming one browser always has a master copy - there is no sort/merge capability, just convert enmasse.
