Actually, let the big boys slug it out, and just pick either one -- they're both great.
Forward and Back Buttons:
Home Button:
To personalize your browser, the preset home destination can be changed.
(Of course, we recommend setting your home destination to MacintoshOS.com!)
Check in your browser's preferences (located within the Edit menu, or in Netscape's
case, the Options menu). Click your home button to see where it takes you,
then come on back by hitting the back button.
Every browser has the standard forward and back buttons to move you forward
and backward in your history list (the sites you have visited during this session). You can only move forward if you have moved backward first.
Most browsers have a home button. Where this button takes you
depends on the setting of your browser which is initially set to the
browser's home page. For example: http://www.MacintoshOS.com.
Reload Button:
Netscape reloads from a cached version which can be annoying.
Occasionally, the page has changed, but Netscape reloads from its local
copy and doesn't get the change. To reload from scratch, execute a
super-reload by holding down option while you click
reload.
Stop Button
There are, of course, a plethora of other great features on your browser. Don't worry about
learning anything else right now though -- just point that mouse at the world and click away!
Most reputable browsers have a reload button. Use it if graphics
didn't load correctly, or if you have updated your own page. Pushing reload
bring the page up from scratch; except in Netscape's case.
The stop button interrupts a page from loading. You can, for
example, use the stop button to cancel a connection to a page that is slow
coming up.
