Netscape 7.0 Shrivels Under Mozilla's Shadow

<< < (2/8) > >>

voidmain:
They share much of the same code. Mozilla code is turned in to Netscape after heavy mods so you will see features in Mozilla before you will see them in Netscape. Now one big difference is the addition of boatloads of commercial crap and registration annoyances. There are other differences but I don't know why anyone would use Netscape over Mozilla. But then I use neither (Konqueror is my browser of choice) so...

I love Mozilla now! I love how I can neuter cookies and permanantly say no to useless cookies, and say yes to stuff like sign in cookies. Did I fuck up? Just go into the handy cookie manager and modify my site choices.

Plus your susposed to have better speed, better reliability, and more security over IE. Thanks for showing me Mozilla!

I prefer IE6, but I do have Mozilla installed for rare occasions when I want to view a website that has IE blocked(like X11's site). Mozilla doesn't have what it takes to switch me from IE but I will say that it is definatley better than Netscape. I won't even install a Netscape browser on my system ever since AOL bought NS. From what I hear NS 7 has more spyware than NS6 did.

That alone is enough to keep me from even trying NS7.

If spyware bothers you so much, then by what manifestation of sanity are you using IE?

IE doesn't contain spyware d00d. It is a standalone browser(it doesn't have a bunch of support our finances crap intergrated into the browser like Netscape), plain and simple.      :rolleyes:    
Even MSN Explorer(which has all of the nifty extras like one click mail box access, shopping channel links, etc. that Netscape has) doesn't even have spyware. Netscape is just a fucking joke. What do you expect from a company who sold out to AOL though?. It seems that any company that has been bought out by AOL decide to throw spyware into thier new crap. Why do so many companies sell out to AOL?

I think there should be a www.fuckaol.com site. At least a site like that would have some real dirt on the company they are bashing rather than all of the hersay crap that exists here(like people claiming that IE is spyware even though it isn't).

Zombie you think IE has no spyware because if it did you would feel bad, hence you lie to yourself. I know IE has spyware. I have seen it report crap with packet sniffer's before.

What does IE have that Mozilla doesnt Zombie?

Only a fully compatible browser, with the source as his ally will kill Darth Fences.
