Frame 2 - Sample Web Browsers

Many Web Browsers

To the left are some samples of the NAVIGATION area at the top of a small selection of browsers. Click on the picture to enlarge it. Click the back arrow on your browser to return to this blog.

A web browser is software used to aid you in your internet experience. Web browsers are used to see web pages and with them you can search for specific information in the billions of web pages available to you -- connect to your bank or stock account, search info on medicines, find web pages associated with television shows, or, perhaps you can use your browser to wander around in the net (serf) just to see what you can discover.

Now, you’re probably familiar with the Safari web browser. It came with your Macintosh operating system but maybe some of you like to use Internet Explorer or Netscape or even AOL. Each of these is quite popular and have a large following of users.

But did you know that there are many, many web browsers available to you? FireFox, Camino, SeaMonkey, iCab, OmniWeb and quite a few more can be used on your Mac.

Check out... http://www.macorchard.com/www/ ...and you get a run-down of a large sampling of browsers available for download. Note that some are not free. Click your back button to return to this blog.

Browsers are different and many of their features are specific. Spend time checking the PREFERENCES to see how the program can be modified. Find out what the buttons do and examine all of the menu items.

Generally speaking, I recommend that my clients find a browser with which they are comfortable and then get to know how to use it really, really well.

In my next post I'll show you how to use the features of some of the browsers.

Again, please note: I've also got a CafePress site for selling some VERY unusual tee-shirts. You don't have to buy any but go there for a few laughs. Click: http://www.cafepress.com/mythingtoncity or copy it into your web browser address line. Click your back button to return to this blog.

About Me

As many of you know, I am now the full-time care giver for my 90 year old mother (almost 91 years young), actually. While I still do service calls, I have had to shift some of my lively hood to something I can do out of my home. (eMail me any time at: macmuse@post.com OR wjfconsulting@gmail.com) As such, my hope is that this blog will attract some people to contribute some small or gigantically large amount to help keep it going. Check back here later and I can tell you where to contribute (probably PayPal). In the meantime, consider just how close you can come to gigantic. OK? ...... Oh, yes.
