In a previous message, Andy Mulhearn typed vigorously:
>>Does anyone use NetHopper for a Web browser?
The main issues with NetHopper are: 1) it is no longer supported; and 2)
without a certain patch by Daniel Padilla [1], it will not handle HTTP
1.1 protocol - effectively locking out hundreds of thousands of virtually
hosted domains. I'm not even sure if Daniel's NetHopper patch has even
been tested on an MP130.

Courier [2] is fast, fast, fast - for a Newton-based browser. Combined
with Raissa [3], the RSS news feed reader from 40hz, it's an amazingly
useful set of information gathering and viewing tools.
