1600 bug fixes? I wonder how many they missed.

 

[gopunk]

hehe yea, that 1600 isn't very reassuring

did it get any faster? that was my main gripe, was that it was slower than ie.

 

[Czar]

I´m downloading to test it, hope it can compete with IE and Opera

Slower!!!??

Mozilla has never been slower than IE. At least not to me.

Netscape, maybe, but not Mozilla.

amish

 

[Czar]

Ok, I installed it and I HATE IT.

I´m designing a page, I have been trying to make it look correct in both opera and ie, and now this crap comes along and kills it all.. it doesnt understand css well enough?? doesnt understand float : left; DAMN THEM

 

[Czar]

arggg.. and more


I have a table that is inside another table

<table width="100%" onmouseover="this.style.backgroundColor='FAFAFA'" onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor='FFFFFF'">

and know what.. it changes the color to the gray one on mouseover.. but NOT with onmouseout, so it stays gray.. stupid mozilla

I've been meaning to try Mozilla but was kinda waiting on it to mature a little more. Maybe time to try? I'm using Opera 5.12 now and like it (also use Netscape 4.x). Theres a new Opera 6b1 that people are really pleased with.

How is Netscape 6 now?

Netscape, maybe, but not Mozilla.

careful, don't have a heart attack

are you using windows? because mozilla has always been slower than ie for me. and yes, mozilla, not netscape.

 

[Czar]

Slickone
get opeara6.. I love it

 

[gopunk]

eh, i like ie the best. though i haven't tried opera 6... is it drastically different from 5?

 

[Czar]

gopunk

Very different from 5.x, has moe of a ie interface... only an improved one

You know, Mozilla is probably much more standards compliant -- it's likely the others that are broken.

 

[gopunk]

i will give it a try then

nd -

it's not that unlikely that mozilla is the culprit... mozilla is far from perfect.

 

[Electric Amish]

Yes, I'm using windows.

amish

 

[BigToque]

for gods sake... all these other browsers suck ass compared to ie. all this open source and competition crap drives me nuts

 

[jhu]

just recompile it with the options you want and take out the stuff you don't want. and then turn on the compiler optimizations like crazy

The real question is 1600 out of? 1.6million, 200thousand?

I prefer the user interface of Netscape, although I've been using MS IE lately. I am going insane over very frequent "illegal operation error" and some pages loading up as blank when MS IE can display it properly.

 

[Pr0Hawk]

I will stick with my IE.

 

[Bozo Galora]

Jerboi: All the illegal ops messages are because 4+ cant do XML etc.
6.2 is free of that non-compatibility - I love it - twice as fast as 4.79
nd is correct - its much more compliant

I still prefer 4.7, because its easier to back up. All your personal stuff is stored in program, netscape, users, yourname. I don't know where its stored with 6.x and beside I like the user interface of 4.7 the best.

I heard 6.x is still more vulnerable to crash on badly written page compared to IE though.

 

[n0cmonkey]

Im using 0.9.5(?) almost exclusively on my iBook. Ill have to upgrade to 0.9.6 when I get a chance. IT loads a little slower than ie, the interface is much better, and open standards (like the internet was meant to be) compliance is important to me. Unfortunately the mozilla guys probably havent fixed the OpenBSD incompatibility. :/

And to everyone thinking 1600 bugs or whatever was a lot, how many "bugs" was Win2k rumored to have at release (not beta like mozilla is now)?

 

[Bozo Galora]

people, people, - dont get in a rut, dont be afraid to try new versions.
dont go by rumors and heresay.

6.0 was problematic
6.1 was better
6.2 is great - NEVER had a crash
you have the same users folder as 4.7+, but MANY more options available like searching bookmarks four
ways: name/location/description/keyword.

gozilla is just unbloated 6.2 (9MB vs. 24MB), but you do hafta add java plugin manually.

I have gotten a few messages: "we are UPGRADING our site to accomodate NS 6.2 in the near future"
