Who's using Netscape 6.1?

Just installed it and it seems very stable. Speed is probably as fast as IE, load times are also faster (although not as fast as IE). IE 6.0 keeps on crashing my system
so maybe this new Netscape is going to be my default browser.

I'm using Mozilla 0.9.4 as well.. although I'm still using Opera 5.12 as my main browser. but Mozilla can handle multi-language fairly well. Opera doesn't have such features.

I've been using 6.1 for a couple weeks now. I'd have to say its the best Netscape yet.

I'm also using 4.74 (old habits die hard) and IE 5.5 (for sites with sloppy code)

I tried NS 6.0 earlier, and although i liked the GUI, it was much too bloated and crashed way too often. Think i'll stick with IE 6.0, i love it.

Netscape 6.1 is a million times better than Netscape 6

they addressed those bugs. its very stable. But if your happy with IE, thats good enough

i use both netscape and ie and recently i installed netscape 6.1 and ie6.something...
The only thing i don't like about netscape 6.1 is that it load too slow...
i have 512 megs of ram and if i load netscape 4.78 or ie 6.02 it loads in less than a heartbeat. Not so with netscape 6.1 When hit it to open it takes six exact seconds for the browser to be displayed. With the other two, 4.78 and ie6.02 one second or so. Also It seems that my bookmarks on netscape can't be alphebetized automatically, as opposed to ie where you do sort by name....i do the manage thing on netscape, and although they do apper alpabetically in that view, once i go to the browser and do bookmarks they are out of order....
a shame b/c i like how netsapce 6.1 looks...

<< Mozilla's URL window is too short, dont like that. Any way to change it? >>

Yup, run at a higher resolution than 640x480 :p

I'm a mozilla 0.9.4 user because IE6 won't let me apply a proxy server to AOL.
