Hmmm. My least favourite browser. That's difficult to explain. It's a bit like asking me which is the least favourite instrument I play. The thing is that they all have pluses and minuses. I'm not really expert enough for my opinion on this to be a lot of use to anyone but myself, but I'd say that the latest version of IE would probably be close to that - I preferred the characteristics of some earlier versions. Bias is a shocking disease! I'm afraid I'm biased in favour of Firefox - but it has its drawbacks too! ;-) Catchya Kia ora Sue!

It is interesting how the different web browsers and operating systems do it. So which is your least favorite web browser?

Yes this is a catch (cache?) for new players and even some experienced ones. A similar experience is had when opening up Firefox with saved tabs. The screens on each tab have to be 'refreshed' in order to see the latest update. RSS Reader, on the other hand, knows to update, and is in fact updating all the time except for the (right) frame that's displayed. Caching can be insidious. Some browsers have what's known as pre-caching which can be switched on or off. This anticipatory feature selects the first few links on an opened web page and downloads the formatting, text and images from them without displaying, permitting a faster display of the pages when these links are clicked. The intention is usually honourable, and I'm not talking about pop-ups here either. Some browsers permit a screen message to be displayed momentarily on the task bar when this occurs. But a recent feature (which is not so new incidentally) is having the pre-caching script in the coding of the displayed web-page. It is similar to pre-loading which has been used for decades for smooth effects with mouse roll-over on buttons etc. The effect of the pre-caching in both these instances I mention here is that if a pre-cached page is not actually visited until a later date, the user, seeing it for the very first time, may not realise that they have to 'refresh' to see the latest version of the page. There's little one can do about this other than to keep using Ctrl F5. Frankly, I'm not so keen on pre-caching, of any sort, for a number of reasons. I like to see what's being downloaded. ;-) Catchya later Kia ora Sue

We find browser cache catches out so many people including often experience bloggers. I also find there is so much information that over time we learn that new people don't appreciate they need to know such as cache and my favorite the dreaded copy/paste from Word documents into blog posts. Thanks again for realising I had missed the Mac. Always happy to give credit and link to people’s sites plus posts.
