Browser Suggestions

---

Some users have asked us which web browsers we test to be sure our pages display correctly. Our main philosophy is to avoid complex page formatting, and to test with two popular and widely-available browsers. We have many users without high-speed internet connections (such as pleasure boats or ships), and so we try to remain sensitive to their requests.

We test our page content in the latest versions of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Windows Internet Explorer. Mozilla Firefox is available for free and runs on Windows and Unix/Linux platforms, while Internet Explorer is only available with Microsoft Windows. The test browsers we use are the latest versions available to the public, and we encourage our users to upgrade their browsers if they are out of date. Some parts of the NHC website use Javascript, so you may need to be sure your browser has that functionality turned on.

As always, if you are having difficulty viewing our website, please feel free to send an email to nhcwebmaster@noaa.gov and we will try to help you.
