Re: Which to buy -- Voyager or IBrowse

I've got all three Browsers on my Peg + MOS system.

My main browser is IBrowse which works fairly well for everything (including my online banking thanks to AmiSSL)  Last time I checked, it was also stable on 68k machines. :)

However, I've noticed that IBrowse tends to hog CPU cycles after I log into Yahoo mail.

Voyager is my alternative browser.  The MOS version seems to be a lot more stable then the 68k version.  (YMMV).   I use it mostly to log into YahooMail, but there is constant "Javascript error" outputs and it's not 100% fully compatible with Yahoo Mail.

Oh, Flash support in Voyager works okay, at least if you are trying to view FLASH animations that is compatible with it.  I've never managed to hear any sound from any of the FLASH animations that I've seen with Voyager.  Unless seeing that "badger badger badger" flash animation without sound is your thing, it's not quite that much of an advantage. ;)  I don't know if you can play any FLASH games with it either.  Anyone tried it?

As such, I would recommend to look into IBrowse.  And if you want to try Voyager, then definatly download the trial version before you buy.  Voyager tends to be picky.
