Optimal web browsing

Hi All,
I've got a B&W G3/400 with mac os 9.1 (about to go 9.2). I was wondering if there are any good web browsers out there for os 9. (IE 5.0 is a little sluggish, plus most pages do not load correctly.) If so is there a link I can download them at? Oh yes and one more small question, I have a 2 button scroll wheel optical mouse, but cannot use the right click and scroll features. I know that OS 9 doesnt support it, but i was wondering if there was a driver/extension/control panel i could download, if so is there a link to the site?
thanks,
Allen G

Hi, Allen -
Oh yes and one more small question, I have a 2 button scroll wheel optical mouse, but cannot use the right click and scroll features.
You are correct, OS 9 does not include software to support those features. Most, if not all, non-Apple but Mac-compatible mouses come with software to provide support for them.
However, the utility USB Overdrive provides such support for almost all types and makes of pointing devices, and usually works better than the software that might come with a non-Apple mouse.
In particular, USB-OD allows setting functions/behaviors on a program by program basis, so that the actions change automatically depending which program is currently active. This is great especially for games.
For example, I use USB-DO with an MS Intellimouse Explorer (five buttons plus scroll wheel). When I'm using my word processor, the right button is Copy, the front thumb button is Paste, and the rear thumb button is Save. In my browser, the actions are the same except the rear thumb button is Back. And in Diablo II, all button actions except for the left button are entirely different, set to match the needs of the game play. The USB-DO software automatically switches those actions for me.

  • No Optimized web browser support on basic phones after 8/30/13?

    Over the weekend I received a very disturbing message on my web browser. of my Samsung Gusto 2. It said that there would be no Optimized  web browser support on basic phones after 8/30/13 and that if I wanted a good web browsing experience that I would have to upgrade to a smartphone. I am on the $50 unilmited talk,text,and web prepay plan  but don'\t want to get stuck paying for a web browser I can't use after that date.A smartphone monthly plan would cost $10-20 more monthly,in addition to spending considerably more to buy a smartphone. I already have a tablet and was told a smartphone was unnecessary. Anybody else get this message?One person in customer service said that it was propaganda and not to believe it. Another person that I called later found the memo but had no further information on it at this time. Aparently Verizon likes to keep their customer service associates in the dark until last minute.No idea if they will alter their price plans in light of this development. I currently have AT&T U-Verse and will move my number to them and switch providers if forced to.They are willing to offer the same plan I currently have with Verizon but will have to buy a new  AT&T GoPhone.  Have had pretty good customer service with them up to now,but they are not open 24/7 for wireless customer service. Any comments?

    Hi Melissa
    Right now I am switching  back and forth between the Samsung Gusto 2 and the original Gusto. The reason I am doing this is because the Gusto ,even though it is an older phone, is in much better condition than the newer Gusto2. I want to use the beat-up Gusto2 for work, and  switch to the other phone when I need a more presentable phone.Also have  a Verizon Wireless CDM 7076(somewhere).
    Don't know why I am being forced to replace perfectly good phones. And yes,SydneyK, I could use my tablet for data,but it is a little cumbersome to take it out with me,but don't need it for my work . I just took it out for the first time recently to see how well it works on Wi-Fi hotspots(I don't have or want a data plan).Because I am a U-verse customer,I have access to 30,000 AT&T Wi-Fi hotspots AT NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE. I don't want to pay for something (web access)that I can't use on this phone. If Verizon can't give me cost-effective solutions,then I will be forced to transfer my number to AT&T Wireless as of August 30 for a GoPhone. AT&T wants my business and are wiling to do anything to satisfy me. Haven't had any trouble with Verizon either. Yes,  their customer service is still available 24/7 even thought you will have to wait a while sonetimes. I just hate the thought of having to go through the hassle of transferring my number to another carrier.

  • Trinidad faces and JSF faces not optimized for android web-browser.

    We are developing Mobile based application using Oracle ADF Mobile (Jdev R1). Trinidad Faces and JSF faces are rendering optimized on all smart phones (i.e. iPhone, Blackberry and windows) except Android (linuxwebkit) web browser. On Android web-browser page rendering as render in desktop browser.
    any idea please?
    thanks
    yousuf

    Hi,
    copying the answer I provided on the Stack Overflow forum to the same question:
    Apparently you are correct and the ADF Mobile developer guide for 11g R1 doesn't mention Android as a target platform: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/web.1111/e10140/toc.htm
    However, JDeveloper 11g R2 does : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26098_01/web.1112/e16178/toc.htm
    Just search for "Android" and you see what I mean. As you mention the base technology is Apache MyFaces Trinidad and the version of Trinidad thus determines the support for mobile devices.
    Apparently JDeveloper 11g R2 uses the Trinidad libraries (JSF 2) that support the Android platform while JDeveloper 11g R1 does not.
    Given that Trinidad 1.2 supports Android (though it might not have been tested as mentioned here: http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/devguide/mobile.html) you should be able to create your own skin for Android as documented here: http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/devguide/mobileSkinning.html
    The RequestContext object in Trinidad returns the calling agent and you may want to check first if this returns Android. If it does then creating and applying a skin is easy to do.

  • Can programs run from java that is on web browser

    i have written a program and used autorun to run when a cd is put on but not every body will have java on their computer a firend told me that most people will have java on the web browser that will be able to run the cd is this true or will i have to give download instructions to download jav first. this is obviously not ideal as i want people to be able to run the program by putting the cd in and nothing else.

    1. You can create a Java applet, which is a Java program that runs
    from a web page. It will need to be a signed applet. Your autorun will start the browser with the web page carrying the Java applet.
    I don't think this is optimal.
    2. Search for "embed JRE", which describes how you can supply your
    private JRE with your program. It does not install the JRE, nor does it
    care if one is already installed. I did this many times, there is no problem
    at all, but here I have no idea whatsoever what happens if your JRE originates from write protected media. I guess it should work. Experiment or wait for others to see what they think.

  • Lightest, Fastest Web Browser?

    Hi all, as some of you may know from my recent posts, I have just home built a new vintage Pentium Pro 200 MHz system with dual CPUs and 128 MB of RAM. Arch is 686 optimized and the Pentium Pro is a the original 686 - it was a no brainer to put Arch on this machine.
    I have it up and running nicely under Arch these days and it is surprisingly functional and zippy using the combination of XFCE4 (without the XFCE4 destop) and Rox Filer as the desktop. The only thing that really bogs down is the web browser. I have of course loaded Firefox 2.0.0.4, but it is very, very slow to launch. I hunted down an old version of Opera (6.06) that is much faster, but which has a tendency to simply crash and burn when it hits things on web pages it doesn't understand due to its age (1997 I think).
    Of the current set of browsers available in the Arch repositories, which is the fastest and lightest? I have heard that maybe Epiphany is pretty good, or perhaps Galeon, but I haven't found any real evidence one way or the other, so I am soliciting your input.
    In your experience, what is the lightest full function web browser I could load on this older, slower hardware?
    Thanks!

There also doesn't seem to be any way of setting a home page. I have set the UI level to "expert" but still cannot find this. Do you know how to set a home page? Certainly this is a promising looking browser!
    Of course it loads quickly and renders slowly, it uses its own interface (which I find very crappy btw), but gecko engine
    Anyway, it looks like "full function" and "light and fast" are contradictory, at least for now. I'm still waiting for the ideal web browser which will prove this wrong.

  • Whats the best, fastest web browser in 2013 ?

    whats the best, fastest web browser in late 2013 using mavericks on haswell MBP ?

    posting questions and answers on this board are optimized a little better with Safari, and its easier to work with, however I still prefer Firefox for this board.
    Also some websites dont process Amazon.com or other ordering things right with Firefox, a couple Airlines I use are the same, must use Safari for them, or Chrome (which I dont use)
    So I use Safari for those. 
    see all the neat addons for Firefox at:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/
    there are quite a few for Safari too, but not nearly as many.
    I dont like Safaris search word feature, its too awkward, Firefox is very easy and fast.
    what one has, the other is better at and vice versa....which is why most prosumers use MORE than one web browser.
    Consider the installing of the free ADDON called "Ghostery" for Firefox or Safari,  it removes all Youtube commercials. (ie adware)
    isnt that nice? 
    many such examples like this,  one is good with this,.....other is better at that.... etc.

  • How can I open multiple instances of the same folder and web browser in different desktops in Lion?

    I've selected "none" for association but it doesn't work. In other words, I have a Dropbox folder on my desktop. I'd like to be able to open that same folder using the same shortcut on different Lion desktops. However, whenever I try to use the same shortcut on a different desktop, it switches to the one where it's already open. Same problem with web browsers; if I try to just click on a web browser to create a new window, it will take me back to the other desktop.
    I didn't have this problem before I had to replace my hard drive and update everything again. I am aware of the "restart Finder" option as well as associating programs with individual desktops. All of the things in question are currently selected as "none."
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I just set Safari's option to None. That is I right clicked on the dock, selected options, and chose none. Also, in Mission Control's tab of System Preferences I clicked Off When switching to an application, switch to a space with open windows for that application. That let me open a new Safari window no matter what desktop I was in. But I had to do both. Just setting the desktop option to none didn't seem to do it. Finder seems to work okay with just the none option set.

  • A way to have part of the screen presentation and part live web browser?

    I'm trying to put together a presentation that involves demonstrating a
    live web site.
    Neither Keynote or Powerpoint will let me imbed live web pages into a presentation on a MAC. (ibrowser plug-in will do it for powerpoint PC but not MAC).
    I'm wondering if there isn't some way to use two programs to accomplish my goal, which is to have notes about the live web page on screen (sort of prompting and reminding me of what to show next on the web site), while showing the web site and working with it on another portion of the screen.
    I come close by creating a powerpoint presentation creating my "prompting notes"
    on only the far left side of the powerpoint pages, then turning it into a PDF, then opening the PDF but pushing the window all the way to the right side of the computer screen so on the right I see my "notes" and on the left to center of the computer screen I have the live SAFARI web browswer. I can move from page to page on my slides by hitting the "next" page button on the pdf PREVIEW window.
    It kinda works, but isn't anywhere near as slick or clean as I'd like.
    Can anyone think of a cleaner way to do this with any combo of MAC applications?
    Thanks for any input.

    I figured it out myself! I'm making a quicktime movie out of the presentation,
    scale the quicktime window to a corner of the screen, and then have the web
    browser on the rest of the screen.
    Just thought I'd post in case anyone else had this problem and was looking for
    an solution!

  • Photo Gallery not showing photos in computer Web browser

    None of my photo gallery photos are showing up in a computer's Web browser?  They show up fine when you click "View Web Journal in Safari" on an iPad 2, but when I publish them to iCloud and Share the Web Journal Link, the photos don't show up??  It's happening with all of my Journals.  It doesn't work on a Mac or Windows?  What gives??
    You try it:https://www.icloud.com/iphoto/projects/#1;CAEQARoQdoVWsxptdYjcSQD-Rg1QVg;B692688 8-A220-4FF7-848F-6383BB15A5DB

    Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh, matey. They all show for me in Safari but require several page refreshes to get them all to display.  Those that don't display will if I click on it and then go back to the page.  However, when retuning to the first page will put be back at square one and require multiple refreshes to get them to display, but not always.
    Also, the page links are all messed up.  Clicking on them just returns me to the first page. If I Option click on a page link from Page 1 I will get to the right page. 
    I am unable to get Firefox or Chrome to work at all on your gallery.

  • Can I view documents in a web browser?

    I was under the assumption I would be able to send my documents to iCloud and then edit them within a web browser. Is this not the case?
    When I go to iCloud.com all I see is an option to install iWork on IOS devices.

    Your assumption was wrong.  You can not edit them online.

  • AdobeAcrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF Files in Web Browser...what do I need to do to fix this..

    I just got Windows 7 and have been having problems since loading it. Most of my drivers only go to Vista and don't recognize 7.
    I have trying to download some manuals from their website
    and keep getting this message; Adobe Acrobat/reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in Web Browser.

    Could I suggest a workaround for PDFs until a solution is posted? Open them directly in the Adobe application rather than in a browser tab.
    In your Adobe application(s), go to:
    Edit > Preferences > Internet
    Then uncheck "Display PDF in browser"
    (There are very few sites where having PDF integrated is really beneficial.)

  • Chrome - Adobe-Acrobat/Reader can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser.

    I can't view PDF files via Chrome (it works on Internet Explorer but I prefer Chrome)  -  the error below has arisen recently on Chrome, though I can't see what has changed.
    "Acrobat plug-in
    The Adobe-Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser. Please exit  Adobe Acrobat/Reader and exit your Web Browser and try again."
    I have looked through Forum articles on similar errors and have tried the following(text copied from other Forum entries)
    Repair Adobe Acrobat (from Acrobat)
    Repair Adobe Acrobat (from Control Panel
    Configure Acrobat  as a helper application: Choose Edit > Preferences., Select Internet on the left., Deselect Display PDF In Browser Using [Acrobat application], and then click OK.Quit Acrobat or Reader
    Create a registry item for Acrobat: with Regedit: If the registry item doesn't exist on the system, do the following: Go to Edit > New > Key and create the missing HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe.Go to Edit > New > String Value and name this key (Default).Select (Default), and then go to Edit > Modify. Type the Adobe Acrobat path in the "Value data" for your product.,restart your computer
    Repair the HKCR\AcroExch.Document registry key: Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AcroExch.Document., Right-click AcroExch.Document and select Delete; make sure that you have the correct key, and click Yes on any prompts, Right-click AcroExch.Document.7 and select Delete; make sure that you have the correct key, and click Yes on any prompts. Repair your Acrobat  installation
    None has solved the problem. However it still works ok with IE. But I want to stick with Chrome because I find IE is so slow!
    I am using Vista, with Adobe Acrobat standard 9.5.2 and Google Chrome version 23.0.1271.64 m which is marked on Chrome as 'up to date'
    Does anyone know why I might be getting this error on Chrome but not IE?

    I think I have discovered the answer to my own question!
    I have disabled Adobe Reader plug-in, and can now see PDFs in Chrome.
    (Steps: Chrome Menu, Settings option, Click Advanced Settings link, then Content Settings button, then select Disable Individual Plug-Ins, and a list of plug-ins is offered to enable or disable).
    I then get a different result depending on whether or not Chrome PDF viewer is enabled - with it enabled I see the PDF document in Chrome, or with it disabled then the option is offered to download it, but either way I can get it it via Chrome without having to run Internet explorer in another browser window.

  • Reader 9.2 - "can not be used to view PDF files in a web browser"

    Hello,
    I recently deployed Adobe 9.2 within our organization. I used the Adobe Customization Wizard 9 to transform the install set, and selected the "Display PDF in Browser" option as default.
    When opening a PDF linked from a web URL, we get the message: "The Adobe Acrobat/Reader that is running can not be used to view PDF files in a Web Browser. Adobe Acrobat/Reader version 8 or 9 is required. Please exit and try again." This occurs under IE8 and IE6, in both Windows XP SP2 and Windows 7.
    If I launch Adobe Reader and unselect "Display PDF in Browser" in preferences, PDFs open normally.

    I think I have discovered the answer to my own question!
    I have disabled Adobe Reader plug-in, and can now see PDFs in Chrome.
