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

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




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



Depends which version. The current build is apparently based on Mozilla
1.4. The full User Agent of the present Netscape 7.1 build reads:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 Netscape/7.1

Rgds, fraudulent



hhhhhhhhmmmmmmmm good to see. I like moz now, and it is smaller. So I'll
not bother to download Netscape again.

Good to see they use the current code though.

there is now no reason to use IExplorer.

There's no reason to use Netscape, either. They've neutered the anti-
popup features and a few others to make it more palatable to AOL. Use
the real Mozilla or Firebird instead.


I think you might be a few versions behind. The last few builds of
Netscape (from 7.01 IIRC) have had full functionality if the popup
manager restored. In previous versions it could be done quite easily by
adding a line to prefs.js, but now it's back in the GUI (Edit |
Preferences).

What's more, Netscape 7.2 has a *very* effective junk-mail manager. It's
already quite good "out of the box," but actually learns from
experience; if it marks a message incorrectly and you change it, the
program remembers for next time.

It was a real life-saver on the recent spate of sobig.f virus emails.

Actually, one reason to use IE... there are thousands of websites out there
that are written ONLY for IE.. don't shoot me, I'm just the messenger..




Well.........it all relative!!

I've been using Opera since version 2 back in 98, and with each version
they have become more compatible with IE's version of HTML (without
loosing W3W compliant standard HTML).

Version 7 is 99.99 compatible. Same story with Mozilla.

In the last 4-months I've run accross one site which was partially
garbled..................guess...............yep M$'s site. (or some
part of it).

anyway that this stage there are very few website which will not load right.

In fact an old IE3 or IE4 will give less compatiblity with newer sites
than the new alternatives.


You're right, compatibility will never be total, but it is good enough
for me at this point. And when Mozilla locksup my OS doesn't go with it
like when using IE.


peace.

But why would anyone want to go to a website like that? If they do that with
their website, imagine how messed up all their other business practices or
ideas are.

I also turn java and cookies off so that I don't get any websites that are
programmed to only work with those on. This way I end up happy with all the
businesses I deal with as they are smart to program sites that work with ALL
browsers at ALL settings and if they are smart enough to figure that out, then
they must run their businesses smart too.

I know. They are on many a boycott list.

They are not to be visited or patroned.


Boycott not necessary, you CAN'T visit them, the sites don't work. In
essence, they have set up the boycott themselves preventing a big slice of
the population from being ABLE to view their site.

Not with the old version I am using. Just turn off Javascript and no
pop up ads.

Don't get the latest versions of anything, including operating systems,
unless you like getting viruses and spyware all the time.
