[TheForge] stopping pop windows

Fri Oct 18 10:00:01 2002

Note that Mozilla is free; Opera is only free if you put up with 
advertising.

I tried Opera (whatever version was current in March this year) and 
found the following problems:
   A magazine article (online) had extra garbage on the screen; Netscape 
4.7 did not.
   I tried to make a purchase at a photo supplier, and the checkout 
button didn't work (worked fine on Netscape).

So I tried Mozilla, which I am very happy with.
