What are web standards?
They are created by the World Wide Web Consortium - who work towards improving the Web - to support better access for everyone. New browsers generally support these standards, while older browsers tend not to. We have another page where you can read more about the accessibility of the FASED website.
What can I do about my older browser?
If you have control over what software you are using you can install a newer browser. This will improve your web experience, enable you to use and view more sites as their creators intended, and increase your security on the web.
Where do I get a newer browser?
The following browsers support web standards to varying degrees on Mac, Windows and Linux systems. Note that you can use Firefox (or other browsers) as well as Internet Explorer if you wish:
- Firefox (Windows or Mac OS X), Netscape v7 or higher (all platforms), Galeon (Linux GNOME Desktop) or any browser stemming from the Mozilla.org project;
- Opera v7 or higher (all platforms);
- Apple's Safari (Comes with Mac OS X);
- Konqueror (Linux KDE Desktop);
- Microsoft Internet Explorer v6 or higher (Windows);
Please note that this is not an exhaustive list of available browsers.
