This is the one that is being phased out. It was so simple and quick. Why does everyone think a website has to have every bell and whistle? Woe is me.
I totally agree.
Everything these days has got to be all Java, and I think it’s a bunch of crap!
If I could still be able to browse the web at all without it, I would TOTALLY turn it off and remove it!
I have Noscript, that disables most of it.
Those USGS ones are OK, but they show only a localized area.
I.E. You can see all that ‘activity’ but you can’t see the relationship between those local quakes and quakes on the other side of the planet.
EARTHQUAKE 3D lets you see EVERYTHING.
AND IT’S FUN (and free). I spent 2 hours just playing with the controls.

Try it and see if you don’t see things in a way you never could before.
