that is correct. I beleive Nescape is using moz 1.3 engine
though.

Mozzilla is smaller and faster and I think more stable than
Netscape.





You wish. They're using a neutered version of Mozilla 1.0.


True of Netscape 7.0, and some previous.

Netscape 7.1 is built on Mozilla 1.4.

If you want a REALLY snapppy browser, look at Mozilla Firebird.
It's in pre-milestone release currently at v 0.6. But it's small,
very fast, and very stable.


I've been using it as my default browser, with 1.4s mail client
(also currently under revision).

There is an installer version of Firebird on the website, but
it's hard to find.

Here's a link to the page with an unoffical Windows installer
build. It's written by the same guys who build the official
installers for Mozilla, and it makes all the necessary registry
entries so you can install plug-ins. I've had no problems with it
since install, but this is still a pre 1.0 release, so if you're
inclined to bitch...you may want to pass.

There is, however, and enormous amount of help on the Mozilla
site, if you like to experiment.

Both C/Net and PC magazine say that Mozilla is the best product
out there for browsing. And the mail client is rapidly becoming a
handy tool, as well. They also say that if Firebird is not your
default browser, then you need do some explaining as to why not.

But, there are the nay sayers out there...so if you're the kind
that makes up his/her own mind, then the horse's mouth is he

www.mozilla.org


Including the inside story about AOL/Netscape and Mozilla.


Enjoy.


Now, back to our regularly scheduled cat-fight.
