I connect to my PC with Mocha32 and use the default homepage to get to my email(yahoo), and other pages I like. I also get to use the full screen available to the NR which is a bonus. I don't know of another browser that does this.

Re: Which browser is the best?

Hi Palmfan,
I've tried NetFront, AvantGo and WebPro (1.1 from the Tungsten W). I like WebPro the best because it formats text to fit the screen. It makes reading Slashdot and my other favorite pages pretty easy... not too mention, WebPro uses a proxy server that compresses your pages, which is wonderful for GPRS. (Save on $$!) You can also select the download/display quality of images as well. I've set mine to Medium instead of the regular High.

I think Palm sells it on their website, but I'm not too sure. If you have access/own a Palm product you could always try to beam it over.

Unregistered Guest Posts: n/a	you cannot buy webpro. search the forums, and you will find the link to download it. by the way, there is a newer version on the t/c.

patrickl Registered User Join Date: Mar 2002 Location: Amstelveen, Netherlands Posts: 566	dúnadan and gbh, The T-C uses "Palm Webbrowser 2" (or something like that). A completely different product from WebPro. In fact this is written by Access (the people who created NetFront) So you're both half right __________________ This signature is intentionally left blank.

Web Browser v.2.0.1.1. is NetFront for the T|C. Therefore I was two halves right

.

 

Unregistered, which web browser are you referring to?
