Cyberdog
http://www.cyberdog.apple.com/
Cyberdog is a Macintosh Internet access tool (browser, email, news, etc.). It is used with OpenDoc, an Apple component technology which integrates Cyberdog into the operating system. Integration enables users to drag and drop files from the Internet to the desktop. Cyberdog supports nearly all of the same features as Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator. A major advantage to Cyberdog over these two browsers is that it requires less memory.

Microsoft Internet Explorer

Internet Explorer is an excellent browser for Windows 3.x/95/NT, Unix, and Macintosh. It's easy-to-use interface and inclusion of features such as AutoComplete and Webcasting greatly increases browsing productivity. Furthermore, don't worry about missing out on dynamic or multimedia based sites since support for the latest technology continues to be included with each new version. Microsoft now has several different versions of Internet Explorer-all free. Keep in mind that the different versions are specific to each platform, and each has its own features.

Netscape Navigator
http://home.netscape.com/navigator/index.html

By being the first to incorporate these various types of multimedia communicational advantages through plug-ins, Navigator has easily become one of the top web browsers. An added reason for Navigator's great popularity is its ability to successfully develop its browser across all platforms nearly simultaneously. The "Netscape Navigator Family" contains various browser and/or internet dial-up packages. By having several options, special requirements in the way of security and optimum utility can often be met.
