Types of Browsers

---

Browsers come in several different flavors. Graphical interface browsers display the images, links, and text in full color. The most popular graphical browsers include Netscape Navigator, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and NCSA Mosaic.

Internet Services Providers such as America Online and CompuServe give their own graphical browsers to their subscribers. Many online services, however, offer their users a choice between the ISP browser and a commercial browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.

Some users want just the basics. They�re content to cruise the Web using character-based browsers, such as Lynx. Although these browsers have hypertext links, they don�t show any images. Heck, you don�t even need a mouse to use character-based browsers.
