Nevertheless, there should be some non-IE browsers on the website linked below. (The "Opera" thing looks feasable, except that it's only a thirty-day trial, and anyway, I've never used it.)

Oh, I just remembered. I had a friend who once programmed his own browser in Microsoft Visual C++ (at least, I think it was Microsoft Visual C++). There's apparently a custom web control you can use to make it really easy, so long as you don't need *features* or anything in your browser. The simple browser that emerged was called "Bobscape" and I don't know if there's any copies left, but if anyone here has a copy of VC++ and knows how to do it, he or she could probably whip out their own browser in the space of about an hour.

Maybe someone with an hour of free time and nothing better to do can program "Rinkscape"!
