Hello, ED.

Mmm, actually, no. <G>  Safari is based on the Chromium codebase, the same as
Google Chrome, which in turn shares quite a bit of lineage code-wise with
Mozilla and Netscape.  While Chrome has some very serious horsepower under the
hood, some common code is widely shared throughout the open-source web browser
community.  It's all a big hairy mess at times to figure out.

I use Google Chrome mainly.  Some sites with plugins will not work with Chrome,
so I use an older verion of Firefox (the newer versions are rather misbehaved
for me and slow) for those sites.  I recently had a site complain that Chrome
was an older version of Netscape!

Not always the case, though, since ActiveX "code" can use built-in features of
Windows directly making it easier for the programmer to do what they want to
do.  In the same breath, improper use of ActiveX stuff can lead to massive
holes in system security (the same could be said about improperly written CGI
scripts too).

Later,
Sean
