It's very slow and doesn't render many modern web pages well...
I use Newtscape and Courier, and both are excellent and very unique.
Quite different from regular ol' web browsers, so be prepared for a
learning curve.
Nethopper tries to be a regular looking browser, but doesn't work so
sell IME.
Newtscape allows for automatic pre loading of content, so you can set
your newt up to connect and download a bunch of web sites and then when
you get up and grab it, they are there...
Newton can be very useful as a web browser, but I would never use it
for this function if a desktop computer is available...
