I Had To Escape From Netscape

by bluehawq Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Sep 12 '00
Pros: good start page and search offerings
Cons: slow, sticks, substandard e-mail and poor customer service
When I first got the computer that I am now using back in December of 1999, my ISP provided Netscape Communicator on their software. Well, being a MIE fan, I was reluctant to try it out. But I thought what the hey, if you have used one, I guess...

Netscape 6.0:Impressive, but still not the best...

by vemartin Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Jan 21 '01
Pros: Nice smooth appearance, AOL Instant Messenger built into the browser, interchangable skins.
Cons: Lack of support for installable Plug-ins.
I recently got into a debate with another member about Netscape v. Internet Explorer. My argument is that Netscape although the clear loser in the browser wars, was nevertheless a very creditable browser, and could match Internet...

Why I Don't Use Netscape!

by gym-378 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Sep 09 '00
Pros: They try to give Microsoft some competition
Cons: Recent releases are more and more buggy! Browser doesn't display tables or DHTML content correctly
First of all, let's get one thing straight. Up until recently, I was never a big fan of Microsoft and Internet Explorer. Buggy software and endless service packs instilled a sense of distrust that still persists today in the back of my mind. However, as...

Nutscape 6.1-- Isn't for me .....and probably not for you.

by geovolt , Feb 26 '01
Pros: Customizable tabs, skins & themes
Cons: Glitches, converts all image file formats to Mozilla
I downloaded Netscape 6.1 last night because both the Internet Explorer and Netscape I already had didn't offer 128 bit encryption. We needed a encryption enabled browser so that we could do online banking, so I decided to go for it, besides, my...

I have finally given up on Netscape ... for good.

by joli Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Aug 28 '00
Pros: e-mail, intuitiveness, layout
Cons: crashes, crashes, freezes, and crashes
My first three years of Internet Browsing all faithfully belonged to Netscape. I started with Netscape 2.0, and I officially gave up on Netscape while Communicator 4.7 was the newest browser. Incidentally, I still have 4.7 on the computer, and that's...

What HAPPENED to Netscape?!? I'm switching to Internet Explorer!

by scottcolson Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jun 09 '01
Pros: The installation, that's it!
Cons: Too many to list....
I have been a long time Netscape user. Ever since I got my first internet access, Netscape has been my browser of choice. I have a Macintosh and I recently downloaded the 6.0.1 version of Netscape. I had been using the 4.7 version and thought it was...

I'm TRYING to remain loyal, darn it!

by pyallen , Aug 07 '00
Pros: Good Interface, easy to use
Cons: crashes more often than a bumper car
Netscape was my first browser, and I have a soft spot for it. For some reason I prefer its look and layout. Most of the reasons aren't concrete, just personal preference, probably because it was the browser I became familiar with first, so it seems...

Netscape Can't Cut It Anymore

by bethy , May 30 '01
Pros: It mostly serves its purpose: lets users view web sites.
Cons: It rejects standards in browser programming, thus often rendering pages in less-than-ideal format.
Last year, I wrote a mixed (and from a second look at it, rather half-hearted) review of Netscape. Some of the features I listed as bettering IE's included its history list and the hand icon that appears when users move over a link. I liked it better...

Get rid of messenger start page

by LindaStL , Oct 14 '00
Pros: No more annoying start page.
Cons: Could mess up your pref.js file.
I will start off by saying I mostly use Netscape for browsing on the internet. Do I think Netscape is the best browser? No. Is there a better browser to use? I'd like to think so, but I haven't found it.

Given that I try to make the best of...

Why I prefer Netscape over IE

by Paulblow Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Aug 27 '00
Pros: fast, gives info on links, gives info on loading websites
Cons: none
Updated 3-21-2001 Read my update at the end of the review!

I've been a Netscape Communicator user for years, in fact at the community college where I first learned computers and the internet, Netscape was (and still is) the browser used...

It's too bad they made a pact with Satan

by HawgWyld Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Sep 16 '00
Pros: You can surf the Web! You can read e-mail! It's a well-written package that works well.
Cons: Crams AOL's Instant Messenger down your throat
I started using Netscape Navigator years ago. Ever since I got Windows 98 SE, though, I've used Internet Explorer as extracting that thing from Windows is a nightmare, and I'm lazy. Sure, I've heard about some utilities out there on the Internet that...

Netscape--I Didn't Want To Do It...

by gogogopher , Aug 15 '00
Pros: Re: 4.7 Version--wish I could think of one.
Cons: Crashing constantly

Oh the injustice of it all... I've always been a contented user of both IE and Netscape and never had problems with either. Then recently, I got the genius idea to upgrade my Netscape to 4.7. Well, that's all she wrote--big mistake--about as...

I'm sorry, Netscape...

by maggielady , Aug 12 '00
Pros: Pickier about proper HTML code
Cons: Crashes with each use
Netscape was my first browser (after Mosiac). For years, I fought kicking and screaming against any other browser, especially IE. In my work environment, we have 100+ computers on the net which I am responsible for. IE was wiped clean. I was a 100%...

Netscape 6.2

by glook , Nov 03 '01
Pros: More stable than previous versions, faster web page loading, easy install.
Cons: Need to download for every single update.
First thing first: I try my best _not_ to be bias when writing this review. I use both Internet Explorer and Netscape 6.2 on my computer, because I work as a web designer, my web sites need to work properly on both browsers so I have some real...

Ick. Ick. Ick.

by webboy , Aug 27 '00
Pros: Fair rendering of pages; pretty easy to get around.
Cons: Lousy standards support; outmoded UI; incompatible with some sites.
Once upon a time, Netscape ruled the universe. I think they were even once credited for creating the universe - but don't hold me to that. Now, in 2000, we're all waiting for 6.0 because 4.7 is hopelessly inadequate. Why, Netscape, why?
