I'm doing some simple testing of a new corporate web site. It just displays information. No e-commerce. I want to see how it acts under different browsers.

I think I have all of the common ones covered (Netscape 4.x and 6.x) (MS IE 4.x, 5.x and 6.x)

But what does AOL use? I assume it is a customized version of IE. But how is it customized? Is there something I should be looking for? Does anyone worry about WebTV?

Opera and whatever funky browser is being packaged with the major Linux distros, if you want to cover "all bases".

You should also try to check out versions for different O/Ses. Both Netscape and MSIE perform differently on a Mac compared with Win98, as an example. He**, they even perform differently ("same versions") comparing Win98 and WinXP!

So many variations.

A real good place to stop by is NetMechanic (http://www.netmechanic.com/). If this site is really important to you, then spend the extra $$ for their tools and services.
