Linden Lab Official:Alternate Viewers
What is an alternate viewer?
The primary viewer for Second Life is the official Second Life Viewer, available on the main Second Life Downloads page. That page also links to the latest beta, the version next in line to become the next released Viewer.
The viewers below provide alternate means of accessing Second Life.
