best netscape version ever ?

[syzygy]

i'm looking for opinions, ladies and gents. too lazy to poll; doesn't need to be so formal 😀

v4.5 ? v4.51 ? v4.6 ? 40bit encrypt ? 128bit ?

 

[pepo]

well dude I'd say that v4.51 is the one ;-]
But from the other side I don't use it anymore cuz it always blocks ;-[ I think that BILLY G. has done something to the windows to block it so I use the IE5

4.7 is my personal favorite...

I think my favorite was the stand-alone Navigator 4.08 w/128bit encryption. Here's a link to the Netscape FTP site to get it.

Version 3.0

I'm not saying that 3.0 is "better" than 4 or 6 because it has less abilities, but it was less bloated, buggy, and was better in it's time.

i like netscape 6 (aka mozilla) for features, too bad to is so slow.

 

[Modeps]

how about... none of them.
NS is suck.

 

[PliotronX]

3.01 Gold was my favorite.

 

[Blayze]

IE 5.5? j/k

I liked 4.7
6 is too bloated

<< 3.01 Gold was my favorite >>



Agree. (Actually, I think that's what my mom is still running on her 486😉 It can't handle much more)

 

[stndn]

netscape 3 gold for the old timers...
netscape 4.74 for new generations...
netscape 6? hmm... if only it's not 1/2 warner (aol), then it would be cool (i think)

-360-

3.0

The 4.x series always seemed to crash, which didn't happen with IE. Thats when I started turning to the darkside...

But now happily using Mozilla 🙂

thank you so much for all your replies. i think i'm going to try most
of the earlier version recommendations.

i know v6.0 is suck - heavy, bloated, slow, error prone, freezes galore, etc.

3.0 is version number i was not expected and looks enticing. i tried 4.7 a
couple years ago and greatly enjoyed it. why i never returned to it after
a harddrive meltdown at the time is still a mystery.

thanks again.

standalone was the best.. I remember seeing 4.6 as standalone, but cannot find it since

Still waiting...:Q

4.7, 6 is just bad. I gave up after using 6 and switched to IE. 🙁

3.0 - Simple and reliable

I use 4.7 a lot after IE invariably decides to crap out. Or I load up Opera and support the little guy.
