Netscape 7 PR1 released, browser war on again?

[whawho]

Suprised

Ok. Usually I am always skeptical when it comes to performance and Netscape. I just downloaded this browser and It's faster, a lot faster. I am now using this instead of IE.

I still like chimera the best but I think I might stick with this Netscape for a while.

I've downloaded the PR and have been playing aroun d with it for a while...


Some observations:

1. Granted, it is mozilla, but it's got all these cool features like AIM, AOL Mail etc. that slow it down and no one uses!!!! How exciting!

2. The interface is SLOW

3. No -- it's not Cocoa... It's carbon. Carbon is S-L-O-W!!!! That's mostly apple's fault, hopefully they'll sort that one out soon...


So in the meantime, download Mozilla now it's the best browser out there (not counting chimera, because it needs some work done on it)

(you'll know what i mean if you've ever used aol crap-bloat software)

I think I stay with Mozilla and wait till 1.0 comes out. Anybody thinks I should get Netscape?

im currently using NS7 for XP and i guess i'm using it alot more than mozilla now days :S, all cuz NS7 seems stabler for me than NS6..
the thing i hate bout netscape 6/7 is that some ppl dont want to register with netscape.com n they dont wanna bother with the lil setup screen...
