Gee.B Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 I was wondering if anyone had tries the new Yahoo SBC browser. I have seen te officila demo release for the press only http://us.yimg.com/a/ya/yahoo/pressroom/sbcydemo.zip and i was wondering if it was good? Since yahoo usually release good webservices i was wondering how the browser compared with MSN Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MxxCon Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/sbc/browser/ i bet it's either rebranded IE or rebranded Mozilla, and by the screenshots and talk about "sidebar" i'm leaning more toward mozilla. if you have IE and/or Mozilla, i highly doubt you'll be missing anything worthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..... Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Looks like it's got pretty much everything that MSN has, but in a much uglier interface. Definitely isn't a rebranded IE though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Veteran Posted October 28, 2003 Veteran Share Posted October 28, 2003 Since it's yahoo, I'm sure it comes bundled with an abundance of spyware/adware too ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..... Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Here's a pic to compare the two. Yahoo is from the flash demo, and the msn page is at it's defaults (I don't use it, I have neowin as my homepage) Sorry about the compression, but it was needed to fit the 250k size.

Oblivion Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 This looks more like a skinned or a revamped version of IE or Mozilla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee.B Posted October 28, 2003 Author Share Posted October 28, 2003 mmm So should i understand that you'd prefer MSn Soft to Yahoo Browser? ....As for the spyware story.....i'm not convinced Yahoo has more than MSN... Nice screenshots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoMasamune Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Yahoo! makes a browser? :huh: I didn't know that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee.B Posted October 29, 2003 Author Share Posted October 29, 2003 Definitly not based on Netscape...there is the Launch Radio in the sidebar and it's impossible to launch it with Netscape or Mozilla....Also the HTML toolbar of Yahoo composer doesnot appear in the webmail...it's based on ie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
