Although there are many proponents of both of these major browsers, and both have unique advantages, overall Internet Explorer seems to be the more useful and stable, IMHO. I have used both, and gradually migrated from Netscape to IE because of the more sophisticated "History" access and the Forms Autofill functions.

I have also had much better luck accessing Java-based sites and services with IE than with Netscape.

That said, there are some sites which work with Netscape but not with Explorer, and vice versa. I keep current copies of both on my machine, to cover all situations.
