My Browser Test
back
Wednesday, 15 June 2005.
It seems the browser 'technologies' have settled down ;=)) the choices in
Windows XP SP2 boil down to two base type 'Netscape' and 'Microsoft Internet
Explorer', although I recently note 'WebTV' added to the list ... each show
Mozilla/4.0-5.0 in the 'userAgent' string ...
This is a test using five different 'free' browsers, in Windows XP
(1) Netscape :-
(a) Netscape 7.2,
(b) Mozilla Firefox/1.0.4, and
(2) Microsoft Internet Explorer :-
(a) MSIE, Version 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519,
(b) AM Browser, 2.0.0 RC1,
(c) Opera 8.0 ...
Below, the first column, is an icon, with some of the Javascript
output, and the second column, a screen image, when each browser was
pointed at - http://geoffmclane.com/browser.htm
