Browser Alternatives

By Heinz Bulos
March S, 200J
It`s highly likely that you`re browsing the \eb using either Netscape Naigator or Microsot
Internet Lxplorer ,IL,, or both. \ebSideStory`s StatMarket study reported mid last year that
IL is used by 86.08 o surers worldwide while nearly the rest - 13.9 - use Naigator.
Market share or the other browsers is a mere 0.02.

Considering that the browser is our primary means o accessing the \eb - and is een
being pushed by Microsot rials as a replacement or the operating system - its
importance cannot be underestimated.

It has to be ast enough and should not hog system resources so as not to hinder us rom
working productiely or simply rom haing un online. It should be robust and stable een
i we`re running seeral windows and apps. It must proide us a means o doing secure
transactions and keeping our priacy within our control.

1o their credit, both IL and Naigator hae addressed these issues, though not to eeryone`s
ull satisaction. 1here are complaints about their being at clients, with eery new release
introducing more eatures and tools that tend to slow them down. 1here are criticisms about
stability - browser crashes are as common as \indows crashes.

1his is where alternatie browsers come in. 1hey`re designed to be smaller than IL and
Naigator, and i not aster than, at least almost as ast as them. 1heir graphical user
interace is simpler and streamlined. 1heir tools ocus more, sometimes solely, on browsing,
thus dropping e-mail and newsgroup clients in many cases, or at least, oering trimmed-
down ersions.


1he Shortlist

In picking the seen browsers in our lineup, we considered the ollowing actors. \e
decided to restrict our list to browsers that support the \indows OS, as this is the dominant
operating system. Popular DOS-based browsers like Arachne and Lynx were thus not
considered.

\e excluded browsers that require payment, including shareware. Ater all, paying een a
nominal ee is diicult to justiy when there are so many other options that are ree.

\e also made sure that there is an ongoing deelopment o new releases. \ith eer-
changing Internet technologies and standards, we don`t want to be stuck with a browser that
doesn`t eole with the times. 1hus, we dropped the granddaddy o browsers, NCSA
Mosaic, as deelopment has been ended.

linally, we only chose browsers that are sel-executing. 1here are a handul o browsers,
particularly open-source sotware, that require installing other programs and executing
commands that a typical user does not hae the aptitude or nor inclination to ollow. \e
did not consider browsers that work on top o IL, sering merely as skins or enhancements,
the most popular example being Neoplanet ,watch, though, or its irst Mozilla-based
browser, probably already released by the time this article sees print,.

It`s interesting that browser deelopment comes rom three sources: sotware behemoths
like Microsot and Sun Microsystems, Inc., small sotware deelopers like Science 1raeller
International, BrowseX Systems, and Opera Sotware, and open-source organizations such
as K-Meleon, and the \orld \ide \eb Consortium.

\e tested seen alternatie browsers. \ou`re perhaps already amiliar with some o them,
but they`re mostly relatiely unknown: 1X Net Browser, Amaya, BrowseX, lotJaa, K-
Meleon, Opera, and \eb Viewer. lor a summary o their eatures, click here.


How We 1ested

Our test machine was an AMD K6 system, with 64MB o RAM, running on \indows 98.
\e used a dial-up account rom a moderately ast ISP using a 33.6 Kbps ax modem.

1he primary actor in choosing a browser is speed. \ith Internet access widely limited to 56,
i not 28.8 Kbps dial-up connections, you want a slim browser that can do a good job o
loading \eb pages. 1he ile size and, more precisely, the hard disk space used, are an
indication o this. A bigger size and hard disk requirement can mean more eatures that can
slow the browser. It can also mean less-than-eicient programming.

But as they say, the eating is in the pudding. \e picked test \eb sites, particularly sites that
are more commonly isited - \ahoo, CNN, MSNBC, lotmail, Amazon.com, lotwired,
Shockwae, and Atomlilms ,we included the \eb site o PC \orld Philippines as well as
Citibank Philippines, and measured the speed, in seconds, o loading the index pages. \e
made IL 5.5 and Naigator 6.0 - the latest ersions - our benchmarks. \e tested all
browsers within the same time rame, to maintain a air test enironment. As results will ary
with so many external actors, we aeraged the speed results, as shown below.

1his table shows the speed, measured in seconds, o loading the
entire index page o each othe test sites. Results are aeraged to
een out changes in enironmental test actorslike time o day,
network traic, etc.

1he more direct beneit o ile size and hard disk requirement is precisely that. 1hough hard
dries and, in general, personal computers hae become cheaper, we don`t want a browser
that eats up more megabytes than is necessary. And while it`s less expensie to upgrade
systems, we do appreciate a browser that starts up quickly. And so, we measured the startup
speeds as well, as shown below.

\e also tested the browsers` stability. IL and more so Naigator are notorious or crashing
and locking up when too many windows or apps are open. Much has to do with how
browsers are coded and how they are designed to handle large images and scripts. O course,
poor scripting and coding o certain \eb sites contribute to crashes as well.

But o course, speed, space, and stability should not be orced at the expense o support or
standards. In other words, a browser may be thin and stable, and may load \eb pages ast,
but i the \eb pages loaded are messed up, i.e., they don`t look right and their unctions like
orms and scripts don`t work, then browsing becomes a more rustrating experience.

1hus, support or the most widely-implemented l1ML ersion and more common scripting
languages are paramount. 1he problem, o course, with the \eb is that there are one too
many competing technologies. Many sites are designed or a speciic browser and ersion,
usually IL4.0-. Both IL and Naigator implemented their own ersions o l1ML, eering
away rom the exact speciications o \3C. So i you use a dierent browser, they would
look dierent or their unctions might not work at all.

1he latest l1ML ersion is 4.01, which supports cascading style sheets among others. A
browser may not support this ersion, but at the ery least, it should display tables properly
and handle rames. Otherwise, the site`s layout can really be a mess. O course, the higher
l1ML ersion a browser supports the better. It should also support scripting languages,
particularly VBScript and, more so, Jaascript, which are widely used in deeloping
interactie eatures. It`s also a plus i it`s capable o running Jaa applets and ActieX
controls.

1o test l1ML rendering and support or scripting languages, we used the same \eb sites
mentioned aboe. \ahoo is designed to support the least common denominator, so the
browser should display this site properly. CNN is a commonly-isited site, and while not a
bare-bones site like \ahoo, it is largely text-based and again should display well in any
browser. MSNBC is another highly isited news site but is more complicated with heay
graphics and a Jaascript news ticker. \e included PC \orld Philippines, which is designed
using templates that use cascading style sheets and a complex table structure and eatures
dynamic, database-drien pages. ,\e plead guilty or designing a Best Viewed with IL5.0`
\eb site, but this was decided based on a surey o what majority o our readers and target
isitors use.,

1hen we tested the browsers or lotmail, another popular site that uses cookies and orms.
\e included Amazon.com, another highly-isited site, which eatures cookies and dynamic
pages. Citibank Philippines was also used, which eatures pop-up windows, cookies, and SSL
encryption. \e tested the browsers also or lotwired, which eatures rames, Shockwae,
animated GIls, and llash. \e checked each on Shockwae, which speciically accepts only
4.0- browsers. And inally, we included Atomlilms, which uses rames, pop-up windows,
in-line ideos, and llash animation that push demands on the browser. Reer to table below.

1his table shows the quality o l1ML rendering.
N,A means the site can't be accessed because
ospeciic browser requirements or the browser
does not support certain l1ML standards.

Another actor is the user interace and standard tools. Buttons like Back, lorward, Stop,
and Reresh are required. Lxtra toolbars must enhance and not detract rom the suring
experience. leatures like bookmarks, history, cache management, multiple windows, iew
source, right-click menu, tp support, printing, and saing are a must. Lxtra eatures like the
ability to send a page, built-in search, and the like are appreciated but not required. Image
and plugin support are also important considerations. At the ery least, the browser should
be able to support the more common ile types - JPG, GIl, Shockwae, llash, AVI, etc.
- and be able to associate programs with these ile types.

1wo other ery important actors are cookie management and security eatures. Cookies can
enhance interactiity but can also intrude on our priacy. A good browser should allow us to
accept or reject cookies. More importantly, it should support the latest security standards,
particularly SSL encryption. Some sites require the latest ersion or unctions to work. It`s
also helpul i they can recognize digital certiicates that identiy which sites are secure. 1hese
security eatures proide protection or our online transactions.

\e did not take into consideration non-browser eatures like e-mail, newsreader, and instant
messaging clients. \hile some may want an all-in-one browser suite - integration has its
adantages - we decided to ocus solely on browser eatures.
It may seem impossible to hae all these eatures and still want a slim and ast client. Many
o these alternatie browsers all short in either or een both requirements. But a couple
hae proen themseles more than capable. One is lightning-ast but ailed in accessing two
o our test sites that require a 4.0- browser, meaning either IL or Netscape. 1he other is
quite as blazing ast and passed our tests with lying colors.


Our Pick

lands down, Opera gets our nod. Lspecially now that it comes with a ree ersion, it`s easier
to switch to this outstanding browser. It proed to be aster than IL and Naigator and, on
aerage, aster than the rest o the contenders. In terms o eatures, it approaches IL and
Naigator, and oers a slew o its own.

At the ery least, it should be a handy backup i you want to sur the \eb aster. 1rue, it
takes some getting used to since using either IL and Naigator hae become a orce o habit.
But you could ery well use Opera as your deault browser, and make the Big 1wo your
backup browsers.

1he runner-up is K-Meleon. It`s almost as ast as Opera and renders l1ML just as well.
Considering this was deeloped practically by one person - Christophe 1hibault - it`s
quite a eat. Although it was not deeloped rom the ground up, being based on Gecko, its
perormance remains impressie. 1he downside, o course, is that deelopment takes slower,
with so many eatures and support or standards still lacking. Unlike Opera, it still has a long
way to go.

JX Net Browser 0.98 b28

1X Net Browser is the smallest browser in this pack, occupying a mere 1.5MB o hard disk
space. And as can be expected, it`s a stripped-down browser with a simple interace. It
supports l1ML 3.2, and the inal beta ersion actually surprised us with its excellent l1ML
rendering. 1he preceding b24 beta displayed pages terribly. Lxcept with rendering inaccuracy
with the PC \orld and MSNBC sites, it did quite well with the rest. 1X doesn`t support
Jaascript and Jaa, but is speciically designed to support ActieX controls. Interestingly, it
doesn`t appear to support VBScript. \ith its small size and quick startup speeds, it also
turned out to be quick in loading pages as expected. Although it takes a while beore it starts
displaying page elements like text - thus making you stare at a blank screen - once it loads
them, it`s quite ast in displaying the entire page.

1o its credit, or a thin client, 1X includes standard browser tools, helper applications ,or
plugin apps,, support or SSL encryption, and then some. \ou can`t ault Science 1raellers
or not being innoatie. lor instance, 1X has a Preiewer Paper Sae mode that lets you
print \eb pages in a two-column ormat. A ery useul addition is the Modem Usage tool,
which shows your online connection time or today, this month and last month. Its Snippets
is also original. It lets you highlight a particular section o a site and drag it to the Snippets
icon to sae it or later oline browsing. But while you can categorize Snippets, you can't do
the same or bookmarks, a more important tool.


Sites heay on text, like CNN.com, will display properly on 1X.

Pros: Very small size, quick startup speed, excellent l1ML rendering, good print tools,
useul Snippets eature, quick loading o pages.

Cons: Doesn`t support Jaa, Jaascript and VBScript, poor bookmark and history
management.

Amaya 4.2.J

Amaya is a browser deeloped by the \orld \ide \eb Consortium or \3C, the
organization that sets standards or l1ML. As such, you can expect Amaya to support the
latest ersion 4.01. In act, it also supports Xl1ML 1.0 and Xl1ML Basic.

laing noted that, it seems strange that while it`s supposed to support CSS, it did not
display the proper onts and size o our test sites. It also has problems rendering tables and it
doesn`t display rames. It has no cookie and SSL support. 1here`s no bookmark and history
management, no support or scripting languages. It doesn`t recognize the http protocol,
orcing you to type http:,,` in the URL box. And weird enough, it shuts down all other
opened windows when just one browser session is closed.

\ou hae to keep in mind, howeer, that \3C designed this browser or \eb deelopers,
and it seres primarily as an editing tool. 1he user interace is illed with editing menus and
buttons. 1he neat thing about Amaya is that you can iew and edit \eb pages at the same
time.


Amaya is more o a \eb designer's tool rather than an eeryday browser.

I anything, it`s intended to properly display \3C-approed l1ML standards, and not those
ersions used uniquely by IL or Naigator. More so, it`s best used or iewing \3C`s latest
deelopments, an example o which is its collaboratie annotation application based on \3C
technologies ,RDl, XLink, and XPointer,. Annotations are notes or remarks that can be
attached to a \eb page or section.

I you`re a \eb deeloper serious about ollowing \3C standards, Amaya is a useul
browser. But i you`re a regular surer, this is not recommended.

Pros: Displays \3C l1ML and other standards, best as an editing tool.

Cons: Poorly renders non-\3C l1ML tags, lacks many standard and security eatures.

BrowseX J.2.4

Like 1X, Browse X is small and quick. It takes a little more than 4MB in your hard drie. But
its user interace is slicker and is packed with more standard eatures and some ery useul
tools. lor instance, you can ilter images based on URL ,you can block banner ads rom
DoubleClick, or example, and ilter speciic sites such as porn sites.

BrowseX, an open-source browser, is based on a modiied 1khtml widget, and written in C
and 1cl. 1khtml is a 1cl,1k widget that displays l1ML. Aside rom supporting standard
l1ML, an adantage o implementing 1khtml in C makes this browser run ast and use little
memory. 1cl or 1ool Command Language is a lightweight and reliable scripting language,
similar to competing languages like Perl, Python, and Visual Basic.


BrowseX excels in cookie and cache management.

All these mean that you can iew most \eb sites properly and aster. It displayed most o
our test sites well, except those that use CSS and Jaascript, which BrowseX does not
support ,though ersion 3 will support Jaascript,. It does support Sae-1cl scripts
embedded in l1ML, but then again, relatiely ew sites implement this.

Despite its claim that it supports rames and animated GIls, these don`t appear on our test
sites, though that may hae something to do with its conusing coniguration options or
animated GIls. In general, tables appear properly, except or sites that hae more complex
tables. But pages load airly ast, except when you use orms.

It does well in other areas like cache and cookie management. It`s easy to clear both with one
click. 1he same goes or history and login passwords. Also outstanding are its iew options.
\ou can iew and edit just the text, the entire l1ML, or the l1ML o a selected area o a
page, plus it can list images and links ,including broken links,. Bookmark management is
poor. \ou can import the Netscape bookmark ile and easily bookmark pages, but its edit
mode didn`t work during testing.

1he adantage o not supporting Jaascript is you can aoid annoying pop-up windows. 1he
use o 1cl,1k also makes BrowseX quite stable. Instead o just crashing, it displays a
window listing errors, then usually lets you continue. 1cl is touted as more stable and
eicient than Jaascript.

Pros: Small and ast enough, good cache, history, and cookie management, excellent iew
options, useul iltering options, not prone to crashes.

Cons: Doesn`t support CSS and scripting languages except its own, poor rendering o
complex tables, rames, and animated GIls.

HotJava 3.0

One good thing going or a Jaa-based browser deeloped by the company that created the
Jaa programming language is that you can bet it ully supports Jaa and Jaascript, two \eb
standards. It supports l1ML 3.2 with extensions, and is compared with Netscape 3.0.

l1ML rendering is airly good, but it ailed to access lotmail`s Inbox, generating a Bad
URL Syntax` error message, though it`s supposed to support https. \hile it recognized
Citibank's pop-up window, it wasn`t able to log on to the secured site. Otherwise, it displays
l1ML quite well. One quirk is that it shows transparent 1x1 pixel GIls - a technique used
by \eb designers to control space and layout - as an icon, making the page look
distracting. It loads simple \eb pages quite ast but can be slower than other browsers when
it loads more complex pages.


Sun's lotJaa browser eatures a slick interace and excellent l1ML rendering, handling
rame-using sites like lotwired easily.

1he user interace is much slicker than any o the browsers on this list. It`s streamlined and
clean-cut, yet sports a modern look. \hile it has good bookmark and cookie management,
iewing history is rather poor - it generates a history page instead o opening a built-in
window. listory is deleted when you close the browser window. It also has good plug-in
support, except it doesn`t recognize llash.

Oerall, it`s a competent though unpredictable browser, and its less-than-stellar support or
the latest standards and widely-used apps does not make it a suicient substitute or IL or
Naigator.

Pros: Slick and streamlined interace, good bookmark and cookie management.

Cons: Does not display some animated GIls, displays 1x1 pixel transparent GIlS, and does
not support llash, poor history management, cannot access secured sites ,https,,
unpredictable.

K-Meleon v.0.2.J

K-Meleon is unique in that it is based on Gecko, the Mozilla rendering engine ,the same ast
engine used or Naigator 6.0, but has an interace that looks like IL. So you get the amiliar
look o IL and the l1ML rendering like Naigator, but without the bloated eatures.

l1ML rendering is almost impeccable. 1ables, rames, onts, and images appear as they
were designed. K-Meleon loads pages ery ast as well. loweer, it crashes when we tried to
access test sites heay in multimedia like Atomlilms.


Based on Gecko, the rendering engine o Netscape 6, and copying the look o IL, K-Meleon
is ast, renders l1ML almost impeccably but lacks many standard eatures. Amazon.com
looks exactly like it should, but cookies and SSL encryption are not yet supported.

Since it`s in beta ersion and not ull release yet, it doesn`t support VBscript, Jaascript, Jaa,
SSL, and cookies. It also lacks some standard eatures like saing a \eb page, printing a
page, and iewing the history. It automatically imports IL`s bookmark ile, though there`s no
way to add to or edit it.

K-Meleon is a browser to watch, being one o the astest in the lineup. But until standard
eatures are added and standards are supported ,and until it gets more stable,, it`s best to use
this or browsing simple \eb pages.

Pros: Quick loading o pages, amiliar IL interace, excellent l1ML rendering.

Cons: Lacks standard eatures and still doesn`t support scripting languages and SSL, crashes
when accessing multimedia and secured sites.

Opera v.S.02

Opera has always been hailed as the little browser that could, and more. It has beaten both
IL and Naigator at their own game, particularly in speed, though not so much on eatures.
\hat has preented its widespread use is the >39 license ee. In a world o the ree, een a
reasonable amount is too much or most people. But now that Opera is oered in a ree but
ad-supported ersion ,the banner ad ortunately is not instrusie and distracting,, we can
expect its market share to rise.

1he latest ersion 5.02 packs more eatures, matching the Big 1wo. And it`s ast and small as
eer. 1he download size is a mere 1.89MB, though i you still don`t hae the Jaa Runtime
Lnironment ile, you hae to download an extra MB, to be able to run Jaa applets.


1he little browser that could` gets bigger, with more eatures and still in a compact size.
And you can throw almost any site to it, like the multimedia-heay Shockwae.com

Opera has a lot going or it. It supports l1ML 4.01, with a ew exceptions, XML, Dl1ML,
CSS1, CSS2 with exceptions, Jaascript 1.3, Jaa, 128-bit SSL encryption, 1LS 1.0, plug-in
support, and cookies. 1his means \eb sites appear and unction as designed. 1rue enough,
it displayed all our test sites properly. But all, except Atomlilms were accessed - the splash
page did not display and it initially didn`t recognize the address type o the menu links.

In terms o speed, it`s blazingly ast. On aerage, it`s the astest among all browsers tested,
including IL and Naigator.

Opera has all the standard eatures and oers extras. lor instance, it`s possible to naigate
sites without using the keyboard, i.e., using only the mouse. An amazing eat is the ability to
zoom in and out without losing resolution. It`s also possible to quickly toggle images,
cookies, reerrer logging, rames, multimedia, and Jaascript. A nice touch is incorporating
Google in the toolbar, instead o just loading the Google homepage. It incorporates ICQ as
well. And o course, there`s still Opera`s popular session management. 1hat includes opening
multiple windows within Opera, and not cluttering the \indows 1askbar ,Opera displays
tabs in its own 1askbar-like toolbar,, saing browser windows so you can start up Opera
back where you let o, and setting each opened window with its own homepage. In other
words, you can set our windows showing our \eb sites arranged as a quadrant eerytime
you startup Opera. And in an eent o a crash, Opera restores your opened sites when you
start it up again.

Speaking o windows, one irritating thing about Opera`s behaior is the way it handles
window resizing. Since all windows reside within the program, they behae automatically in
the same way. Maximize one, maximize all. \hen a pop-up window appears, een i all other
windows were set as maximized, they automatically get restored to their original size. 1he
way to go around this is to resize each window to it the entire browser window, so een i it
gets restored, it already occupies the entire browser window. Still, it would be nice i
windows can be resized independently o each other.

Pros: Small ootprint, blazingly ast, has almost all the eatures o IL and Naigator without
the bloat, packs extra eatures like zoom in and out, toggle o site elements, and session
management.

Cons: Permanently displays banner ads or the ree ersion, annoying manner o
automatically resizing all windows.

Web1V Viewer 2.S

Like Amaya, \eb1V Viewer is really created or \eb designers - in this case, deelopers
who hae to design \eb sites or the Microsot-owned \eb1V. It`s not intended as a
regular \eb browser or your PC but seres as an emulator.

As such, \eb sites are iewed as i using a \eb1V unit and a teleision set. 1he browser
window is ixed to the required width. 1here`s a Page Notes window that displays errors as
well as a remote control emulator. It`s un using the remote to browse sites but the noelty
wears o when you`re doing serious suring and searching. lortunately, the browser also
eatures standard toolbars, except or a lorward button.


I anything, \eb1V Viewer is un or its use as a remote1V emulator. Sites with \eb1V
ersions like MSNBC look good, otherwise, they'll look cramped.

1here are limitations that will make sites that do not hae ersions or \eb1V look and
work improperly. 1ext is resized to 18 points ,Large, by deault, though there are Small and
Medium ont size options. 1ables are narrowed down to the \eb1V screen width o 544
pixels, cramping \eb pages ,there`s no horizontal scrolling,. lrames are conerted into
tables. So deinitely, our test sites all look dierent, with the exception o MSNBC, the news
site partly owned by Microsot. Surprisingly, lotmail, another Microsot property, cannot be
displayed, showing the error message, 1his page is too big to be shown completely`. It
turns out that ile sizes greater than 250k may not een display at all.

But een so, \eb1V Viewer supports the latest l1ML ersion 4.1 as well as Dl1ML. It
supports cookies, a limited ersion o Jaascript ,pop-up windows appear on top o the main
page,, plugin support, and SSL.

It also eatures standard browser unctions including history, bookmark ,it automatically
imports the IL bookmark ile,, iew source, print and sae pages. loweer, one major
deiciency is you can`t open multiple windows.

As a \eb browser or your PC, it seres as a noelty. But it can ind an unintended use or
senior citizens who may appreciate the larger onts and the more amiliar 1V remote control
interace.

Pros: Supports many standards and technologies, interace is un and noel, quite ast.

Cons: Sites not enhanced or \eb1V look cramp, big sites do not load, can`t open multiple
windows.
