| 211899 | 2004-02-03 22:32:00 | Yeah, it was a good browser in its day, but its been handed over and superceeded by Mozilla. I must say that Netscapes last release was probably its finest :-) The 6.x series put a lot of people off Netscape though :-( |

| 211900 | 2004-02-03 22:36:00 | H-Hmmm Netscape uses Mozilla as it's basis Chill ;) Think of it as Mozilla with a lot of extra bits added to it. | mark.p (383) | ||
| 211901 | 2004-02-03 22:57:00 | I'd thought it was the other way round? That Netscape gave its source code away and that brand then became known as Mozilla? | Chilling_Silently (228) | ||

| 211904 | 2004-02-04 00:09:00 | i remember reading abit about the mozilla / netscape( owned by aol) relationship here (vlad.neosurge.net) otherwise, a few browsers (for pc) which are as foolproof as IE include: Mozilla 1.6 (www.mozilla.org) (12MB, 'web suite') Firebird 0.6 (www.mozilla.org) (6MB) Opera 7.23 (www.opera.com) (3.2MB) MyIE2 (www.myie2.com) (3.3MB) grtz sal. flx |

Yes NS did release the code. Mozilla is only one variation of the underlying code (Gecko anyone?-www.asu.edu) T No it is not dead- channels.netscape.com There is even an OS2 version of the latest Netscape as well as Mozilla and Firebird |

| 211906 | 2004-02-04 00:33:00 | about MyIE2, I hadn't used it before recommending it (lol) but after 5 minutes of using it, I highly recommend it already, 3 minutes of tweaking to get the browser to personal taste, and it makes for a great browser, I might be wrong, but it looks like it runs as a 'wrapper' for IE, but its a great 'wrapper' nonetheless. It's skinnable, has plugins, seems pretty quick, uses tabs, and soo far I've found it has a nifty feature called 'Simple Collector', a handy notepad window of sorts. All this in the 'Lite' version, heh (I did notice a 'Donate' window appear on second start-up, but MyIE2 is freeware, I'm still having a look around the menus within...another little annoyance, on opening, this UCMore thingy wanted to install, but I just removed it from the top menu bars via Right-click > Unselect UCMore...) At less than a MB, I reckon its worth a look, grtz sal. flx </plug> ]:) |
