It's true that the two most popular Web browsers, Netscape's Communicator and Microsoft's Internet Explorer, have many similar features--bookmark systems, email clients, newsreaders, Java and HTML-editing capabilities. The differences are mainly in the details, with each program offering its own small set of bells and whistles. This means that deciding which browser is right for you is most likely a matter of personal preference. If you are a fan of Microsoft's tight integration of the browser and the hard drive, then you'll love the similarity between Internet Explorer and its desktop cousin, Windows Explorer. However, if you are a fan of Netscape's compact email client, there's no reason not to go with Communicator. The best way to choose a browser is probably to spend some time
using each one. If you can spare the disk space and download time, you may want to compare the programs side by side on your own machine. If not, try to find a friend with the competing browser on their system and book some time to take a test drive.
