Hey all,

That browser is a realy memory hog, Opera is much much better. The pages displayed in Netscape look like type written sheets.....

I would like to express my disatisfaction with Netscape as well. If there are any other web designers out there, I was wondering if your positioning tags and/or Style Sheets work on Netscape. Mine don't. They work on Mozilla v 1.0, Opera 6, Konqueror, and $hitternet Explorer. I am using Netscape version 4.79. I just found this to be a bit odd.

Mozilla(Netscape) isnt perfect, but it is in my opinion a much better browser than Opera, and the single best substitute for Internet Explorer. Opera renders perfectly normal pages oddly, has javascript and dhtml supprt that seems half ass, has a large banner ad in the title bar, and although it claims to ident as something different, always idents as Opera.

mozilla is NOT netscape. mozilla is based on the netscape of four years ago, before netscape was bought by aol. Maybe they are the real reason for netscape's bloated shitness?

as i say, there's been a four year fork between netscape and mozilla (though until last year netscape did use mozilla code in it's browser, but not to any extent now i don't think).

Also, opera has a few features that mozilla should have incorporated a long time ago, which makes it the other major player in my opinion.

Mozilla kicks ass. Netscape sucks ass.
Mozilla needs to have a way to set its identification like Konqueror does.

How can anything owned by the Devil's corporation (AOL Time Warner) manage not to suck?

My preferences are Opera 6.x in windoze (when i have to use it) and Mozilla in Linux.

Yes it's a damn shame that the old King of web browser has fallen to a shameful life serving AOL Time Warner. But the Prince of web broswers lives on in Mozilla!

Long live the Prince! Long live the Prince!

it's not really a shame. after all, contrary to pouylar belief, if a major corporation wants to give you a lot of money for something you own, so they can turn it into an advertising heavy travesty of its former self, YOU CAN SAY NO!!!! Something that a lot of people do not realise...

Mozilla sucks because it doesn't support <BGSOUND> and can't center things properly. Proof
Opera sucks because it doesn't support <MARQUEE>. Proof
Netscape 6 sucks because... well, just try right-clicking on the ModPlug Plug-In. Proof

Any other Windows browsers I can try?

KernelPanic · « **Reply #9 on:** 12 July 2002, 21:21 »

Well <marquee> was produced by M$ back at IE3, and <bgsound> is crap compared to <embed>. But I don't care really, you jsut carry on using IE because you are past hope the addiction is too strong.

I'm too lazy to do that, but i guess i dont really need to do that since i usually set everythin to identify as Mozilla anyway.

TheQuirk · « **Reply #13 on:** 24 July 2002, 02:58 »

*Anyone* that includes stupid marquee shit in their site, has retarded bgsound that annoys the hell out of almost everyone, everytime, shouldn't even be allowed to touch a computer. It just makes your website even more annoying. Marquee usually distracts users from having their attention on the main content, and the sound usually messess up the music most people listen to while using a computer. Name three corporate websites that use those tags.

<marquee> & <bgsound> are both MS products and go against the standards set forth by www.w3c.org I would be upset if those browsers did support them.
