List of sites that work great with Linux (and the ones who don't)

[chatins]

Companies like Bud (http://www.budweiser.com) and CNN (http://www.cnn.com) can make sites that work perfectly with mozilla and a few basic plugins. (Flash and Realplayer). Some like CNET and Apple are Linux ignorant. It seems these people don't want to make their sites Linux friendly.

Without getting too commercial I would like some other Linux friendly sites to add to my bookmarks. Feel free to list some Linux ignorant sites as well.

No offense chatins, but that was a very poor choice of title. Linux is not a web browser. Linux is a kernel. Webpages are neither bad or good with Linux.

You say they are poor with Mozilla. I just went to www.cnet.com and www.apple.com(using mozilla1.4). The apple site appeared just fine, but cnet's site did have minor glitches with the top graphics.

Have you tried Netscape or Opera?

Good point sepero, I meant Linux distro

Native browsers and plugins that can be easily incorporated into a distro, with emphasis on easy access to content.

My question was sparked after I embarked on a campaign to make some sites work with browsers like Netscape and opera. I use phoenix myself.

I even whet so far as buying crossover from codeweavers in an attempt to leave "exploder" behind forever. This attempt has mixed results.

I'm using Mozilla 1.4 with java, flash, and nppdf(acroread) plugins. I haven't had any problems with those sites loading any of the graphics except that mozilla is set to block unrequested pop-ups so I do not see any of those.

cnn, budweiser and apple all looked just fine in my Opera 7.20_beta9 :)

Except for when you press enter on the bud site cus i dont got a flash plugin.

Cnet news.com offers a choice of realplayer but there
is only a "radio" button for PC. (I tried the setting on PC and after hours of work I found that an ad panel has to activate before anything will stream)

Apple's quicktime.com and itunes music service are proprietary. I have quicktime 6 for PC (under wine) and it runs poorly compared to mplayer. Installing it did help my win32 codec for mplayer

Java is a real strength on many sites but I wonder how long that will last.

Netscape's netcenter (http://www.netcenter.com)
is now windows optimized (thanks AOL!) In the movie section only the audio plays on my realplayer.
