Browsers - Introductory Info, Upgrade Links, & Tools

Browsers are used to surf the Internet and view the World Wide Web.

Although there are many Browsers available today, there are two commonly used Browsers namely - Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Netscape. To potentially assist the viewing of this site ( and the Internet in general), we have provided below direct links to the suppliers sites  that enable Upgrade Downloads for these popular Browsers.

Please read this!

This site is best viewed with Microsoft's Internet Explorer 5

Most of the links we provide on this site will use JavaScripts  - it is likely that you will require a recent Browser release to view the smaller pop-up windows of the link.

 Please test by clicking here: www.e-exec.co.uk

If a small window DID NOT appear then you will not be able to take full advantage of our tips and the many free links to other sites and information

If a small window DID appear, look in the top right hand corner of that small window and click on any of the following:-

'minus sign' to minimise the window
