Why Netscape 6.2

Now, you have no reason not to use NETSCAPE 6.2 unless you have a old system.

Now, this version is much faster and more stable than ever. When a plug-in produces a error or somthing like an illegeal operation, the browser doesn't just crash, instead, it tells you that the plug-in had an illgeal operation.

It is now faster than IE 6 and faster then Netscape 4.7. (even with the cache disabled in this version) Also, now, it remembers your password for you and automatically fills the stuff in (instantly, while IE needs you to tell it to), but of course, those informations are encrypted and secured by a password...

I don't agree. I can't stand the interface, old or new, and I hate its way of reading HTML code. If you want a good browser, get Opera. They're touted as the world's fastest browser (true of not, I don't know, but it's pretty fast for me), and its way of reading HTML is closer to IE than Netscape. I also find the interface more tolerable than Netscape. I don't know why, but all the "cutesie" graphic buttons in Netscape irritate me.

Why are you bragging so much about Netscape 6.2. It sounds like your trying to sell something.

"it remembers your password for you and automatically fills the stuff in (instantly, while IE needs you to tell it to), but of course, those informations are encrypted and secured by a password..."

:confused: A password to remember another password? hmmmm...

There's just something about the way you write your reviews that's a little creepy. It's sort of the feeling that you're trying to leave no room for argument with your opinions.

Your only use for netscape should be to go to www.opera.com and download Opera.

Opera is good. I like it. However, if you are running *nix, X, and Gnome, try Galeon. It's pretty fast, and I like it better than both Netscape and Opera. Just my two cents.

Happy Hacking

Saddly, Opera isn't that stable for me. It can't seem to run the Java Plug-in properly and it isn't the fastest browser. Maybe on some systems.... but not mine.

Um.... also, password feature is more like a login system. Just type in the password once, and you'll be able to tell it to remember or fill in the password for you (don't need to type in the password everytime)

Also, Opera's interface is quite confusing and espically that ICQ system builded into it, that thing sucks. However, I admit that Opera is great and fast for view stardard HTML pages, but never Flash contents. When it comes to flash contents, it actually takes up more of your system's resources than any other browser.....

I do have a reason for not using Netscape...It's called "freedom of choice".....


Netscape lost me with the release of their "6" browsers..Way too big and memory consuming. This resulted in slower browsing speeds and constant "lock ups".......In my opinion Netscape lost their individuality trying to compete with Micro$oft and just ended up as another IE clone....

I wont rave on about Opera anymore (I'd just be repeating what others have said) but I think it's THE best browser out there at the moment...

Do tell, how is Opera's interface confusing? I like it better than Netscape's, as it doesn't have all the crap you don't need. Opera is a great "cut the crap" browser, as compared to Netscape, which forces all kinds of garbage on you that you don't need.

Most browsers suck in one way or another. I really don't like IE but I would have to admit that is works quite well. Mozilla has always had issues, Netscape has always been a problem child and I really don't like the interface as others have mentioned (ditto to mozilla). Opera is alright but I don't like that a pay version is required to get rid of that stupid banner (may have changed by now). Galeon is the best for *nix users, but there again it is dependent on Mozilla which is lame.

Someday, maybe when we are old men, there will be a browser that doesn't suck.

As for Netscape 6.2 I will have to hear a lot of good things about it before I waste any bandwith on it.

If only lynx could display images :D

This post sums it all up. I fail to see how Operas' simple and basic interface could be considered confusing.

Actually having netscape remember my passwords without prompting me seems like a horrible mistake. This isnt a default setting is it? Someone who knows what they are doing can now get access to our info easier thanks to netscape. For this they should be working with Microsoft. It seems they have similar goals. Also Ive been using netscape with mandrake linux 8.1 lately, and it makes the internet an incredibly slow experience. No cache means that even when you push the back button on the browser, it has to reload the page. It is especially a pain here on AntiOnline. Sometimes I have to wait 2 minutes to reopen a page I was just at. I do not have high speed internet so this is really annoying. Even when I use my school's T1 this site takes a little while to navigate. By the way do they make Opera for Linux, and what are other good browsers for linux?

Offcourse you should pick what you like as a browser. And I pick security, If I need to run wintel I have netscape as a browser and for e-mailing. I'm not gonna use windows. It's like inviting all those ****ing worms that have been on a rampage lately. Besides I get that crap every day and netscape's mail program stops them all.

Dont laugh at me since I did just start using mandrake 8.1, but I just noticed that Opera was part of the package I installed. Im using it now and I have to say I am impressed. The user interface is a lot easier to understand than that of netscape 6.2. The option to tell other computers to identify you as either msie 5.0, opera, or mozilla(5.0, 4.76, 3.0) is a great touch. It downloads pages about twice the speed of netscape 6.2 and I say that it would give internet explorer a run for its money if not for the big advertisement bar.

I just started using 6.2 and so far it's ok but as for rem passwords mine is just like Ie it ask(just say no) but I do like opera best.

I used to use netscape but I have found opera to be better. The interface is a tad strange at first but that's because it isn't like IE or netscape. I use the mouse commands alot, they rock. The only thing I dont like in it is the lack of profiles but I have heard that they're in beta 6.
