    Hello. I primarily use firefox and mozilla as my browser(s) of choice.
    But when I took an html class last year I learned that many web pages
    use browser specific features. And that other browsers may not render
    them properly. So I was taught that it was a good idea to keep more
    than one browser around in case you wanted to use a page that wasn't
    compatible with your favorite, (and to view any page I might make with
    as many "DIFFERENT" browsers as possible before deciding they worked
    properly.)

    Well I recently found a product I wanted to order on-line. But neither
    Firefox, nor it's cousin Mozilla was able to actually add the product to
    the "shopping cart" This got me looking at browsers again. But everything
     I got on this fc1 (including konqueror) seams to be based on mozilla.

    I'm looking for something else. Not for regular use, but so that when I
    send a request to some webmaster to make his/her page more compatible
    with my software, I want to be able to show that I tried more than one
    kind of browser before I decided it was the website, rather than my
    chosen software that's at fault. But I simply won't boot windows to test
    it with IE (Generaly I disable the cable modem before I boot windows
    one any of the rare occasions that I even go there any more.)

    Are there any functional browsers for fc1 that don't use mozilla's
    rendering engine? (preferably one that can render pages written for IE)
