Re: OT: Netscape 6

Typical Netscape garbage... Fix 2 bugs.... and create 4 more, each twice as big as the 2 they solved. Memory munch is off the scale... unstable is being kind... page opening takes FOREVER... downloads give you rigamortis... what more can I say... Now if only they would go away..... would make Internet standards so much more bearable and easy to design for. I really feel for those Netscape diehards who refuse to let it go.... the Internet is so much more enjoyable on other browsers. In closing... If it wasn't for having to preview work in it... it would be off my utility box. Nuff Said...

ermmm.... If you use getright..... why not switch back to explorer... works in there too :) Webpages are viewed with "real colours" (not Netscapes twisted palette... what's with that BTW) Security is FAR superior on Explorer (I can basically extract ANY information I want outta NS browsers... like user information, etc.) The calculation routines in NS have been a losing battle in NS since day 1 Table useage still not fixed in NS... guess we still need to image map everything in cells (including the words... blah) Sorry if I went off on a rant... I am a diehard HATER of the Netscape browser on every level. You learn to develop this hatred in the bottom of your gut when you need to design a website with ANY sort of function to it (including those functions that were standardized 3 years back). In fact.... my personal projects don't even take Netscape into mind during design. I am starting to see a lot more of that too... guess I'm not the only designer out there who feels this way. Saw something REALLY funny the other day: Entrance page to a website (can't remember which one)... Gives you the option "Explorer.... Netscape" In my haste I accidentally clicked on the NS link. It read "Come on outta the cave young one... look into the light... Netscape is killing your surfing" with a link to the explorer download page with a nice glow around it. I still chuckle when I think of it...

It sucks. A friend of mine loaded it on his office system - lockups and crashes. A couple people loaded it at work, with the same results(which I had to fix, darnit...).

I installed it and removed it. Started to have lockups and memory blockouts where the some of the browser screen was missing. I just kept 4.76 and use it now.. They can keep netscape 6 BRH wrote:

Ever try Opera? It's not free (30 day demo). But, it's fast, efficient and highly configurable.

Well i was an avid Explorore browser user for years when eveyone else was using netscape. Then when eveyrone switched to Explorer, I switched to netscape. I like it since i can download 5 files at onces instead of 2 like explorer and i like its interface (on the 4.7x version) and it workes with my Getright mass downloader prg Passedya Jason \"Schumi\" Murray wrote:

We installed it at work for testing on-line products. I like the aesthetics of the GUI interface. Other than that, it's just another browser. -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- BRH <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Is anybody using the latest version of Netscape (Version 6) as their > browser and/or news reader?

Unfortunately it's not as configurable as I would like it to be and it's missing some (for me) important features like for instance the Personal Toolbar. Plus, apparently it's not yet in the equation of many web designers, even though it's the most standards compliant browser off all (short of NS6 and Amaya maybe), so you often get problems with websites that are specifically designed for the proprietary extensions of NS and IE.

Well, so THAT's what's causing that!
