HotJava

Hot Java:

HotJava is the Web browser from Sun Microsystems that enables the display of interactive content on the Web, using the Java language. HotJava is written entirely in Java and demonstrates the capabilities of the Java programming language.
When the Java language was first developed and ported to the Internet, no browsers were available that could run Java applets. Although we can view a Web page that includes Java applets with a regular browser, we will not gain any of Java's benefits. HotJava is currently available for the SPARC/Solaris platform as well as Windows 95 and Windows NT. So far as being a Web browser goes, it is nothing special and does not offer anything special that most other Web browsers don't offer. Its biggest draw is that it was the first Web browser to provide support for the .Java language, thus making the Web more dynamic and interactive.

Netscape Navigator

Netscape N:ivigator, from Netscape Communications Corporation, is a general-purpose browser that can run Java applets. With versions available for Windows 95, NT, Solaris and Apple Macintosh, Netscape Navigator is one of the most widely used browsers today.
Netseape Navigator has many useful features such as visual display about downloading process and indication of the number bytes downloaded. It also supports JavaScript, a scripting language used in HTML documents.

Internet Explorer

Internet Explorer is another popular browser developed by Microsoft for Windows 95 and NT Workstations. Both the Navigator and Explorer use tool bars, icons, menus and dialog boxes for easy navigation. Explorer uses a just-in-time (JIT) compiler which greatly increases the speed of execution.
