Digital.K Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 it's time to let it rest... for ever... it's mission was accomplished a long time ago... :dontgetit: Version 9 is in the works and it will truly be cross platform-OSX, Windows, and Linux. So, not dead, for now at least. http://mozillazine.org/talkback.html?article=20397 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entropyx Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I can't believe they still make Netscape... wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leesmithg Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 damn, people still use this crap? :blink: Well I installed a few hours ago, I do not use it for browsing, once did when it was 4.7.9, that was a good version, I only use it to check web pages I make. Based on mozilla and you can use the IE engine, very queer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marduk Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 AOL bought the turd right? Then they tried a revival? I dunno what its still doing around with many other great alternatives around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rappy Veteran Posted April 2, 2007 Veteran Share Posted April 2, 2007 I have to say the features I like of this is the fact you can change engine for some sites... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3thal Veteran Posted April 2, 2007 Veteran Share Posted April 2, 2007 I'm surprised myself that they are still developing Netscape. Thought it died out a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isys_uk Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Based on firefox, works quite well. Try it before judging on ancient history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Who cares if it's still being developed? It's yet another choice for people. Some people will use this, others won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOC Veteran Posted April 2, 2007 Veteran Share Posted April 2, 2007 It does amaze me people will still complain about free software, that gives more people choice. Makes one ponder hmmmmmmmm. Overall Netscape 8 (haven't used it since 8.1 was released) is very nice, not nearly as sweet as Openride from AOL, but since it does use Firefox as its base engine, it does render well and runs fairly fast. Plus the UI is pretty nice also, and has some pretty good features built in that AOL added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*John* Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I tried Netscape 8, and then 8.1, and really wasnt impressed. Terrible release. From what i've seen/heard about Netscape 9 though, that should rock :yes: (Due in a few weeks iirc) Netscape 9 is the first Netscape release for years that i'm actually excited about! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gringo Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 It does amaze me people will still complain about free software, that gives more people choice. Makes one ponder hmmmmmmmm. you're right... go Netscape... If I were in the development team... I would focus in performance... (less bloated...) instead of adding multiple rendering engines, skins... and all that kind of things... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncc50446 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Using it now, and its not to bad. I don't think it will be my fav browser, but its not to bad. Haven't used netscape since 4.something. I think they have done an alright job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yun4 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 isn't firefox based on the code release by netscape? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entropyx Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 no, it's based on mozilla. there is no "firefox" or "netscape" code, it's all mozilla source, built upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmorya Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 yeah i like the whole look of Netscape and its cross-platform rendering engine stuff but it was a memory sucker. Probly check out Netscape 9 when its out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malisk Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 No changelog available, sorry. I wonder if anyone cares about its changelog. :laugh: Anyway, if I recall right, it's probably usable especially for dual browsing and that's pretty much that. I thought they gave up on this one too though... AOL/Netscape is like something in hibernation that suddenly wakes up, takes a poop, and goes to sleep again.
