Hey,

I just want to know this....

Does anyone like Netscape??

I for one am sick and tired of it. I fail to see why it still exists.

Rgrds,

Netscape sucked once it hit version 4. I really really put up with so much from it but eventually gave up. I used Opera for a while too but some sites just didn't want to work with it.

Mozilla is good, I need to download the latest version. I had an early memory hogging version but it was good.

I don't mind version 7, but Mozilla is a lot better in my opinion. I quite like Opera 7, and like the tabbed windows in both (yes, I know Opera had them first, and I prefer the way it keeps them at the bottom).

I tend to use IE most cause it starts faster, and I'm lazy

i use mozilla 1.21 on xp & it takes about 10 seconds to save a file, supremely annoying , anyone know how to optimise it ??
i don't think i'm short on ram cos IE and other programs have no such problems ...bahhh

yeah, saving a page or 'saving target/image as'
anyway, i've discovered the problem, in tools -> download manager it keeps an entry of all these save events, and mine was massive, it's probably a compressed file hence taking so long writing to
maybe
anyway it's all good now

I've always used Netscape. 4 tried my patience something awful sometimes, and 6 was alright, but 7 is pretty damn fine, tabbed browsing is cool, the mail-client has had some nice improvements, it's stable as hell, and the downloads manager is sweet.

AdMMM

I only use Netscape to test layouts I create because there are LOTS of people who do use it!

i think IE is already stored in your memory? so thats why it starts faster, you can do the same with mozilla anyway

edit>pref>advanced>keep in memory

starts up quicker than IE then

Netscape 4 is ****e.

mozilla is nice, keeps getting faster with later versions. 1.3 final is almost out. Although under Windows XP, i tend to use IE because it's loaded in memory already (i know you can do the same with mozilla but hate having memory taken up by 2 browsers). Also under Linux i tend to use Konqueror web browser, even when under GNOME rather than KDE. Konqueror is faster and does a smoother job of rendering a lot of pages, no wonder Apple decided to adopt it for Safari.

By the way that poll is confusing, it asks the question in the negative (do you dislike netscape). Nearly hit No by accident (no i don't like netscape).

The difference between versions 4, 6 and 7 of Netscape are immense. There is almost no comparison between the Mozilla based browsers (Use Mozilla 1.2.1 mainly) and NS 4.x

I'm personally getting fed up of NS4 getting all quirky on me, but I'd use it over IE any day if Mozilla wasn't available.

i like netscape over IE anyday but not quite as much as I like Opera.
