  Goodbye Netscape

  by: Stefan. on 29-Dec-2007 06:18:07 PM

  Pros: Simple interface that is fast and reliable. Just as good as any alternative to IE.

  Cons: Netscape will no longer be supported by AOL (which owns Netscape). By February 2008, there will no further updates (including security updates) for any version of the Netscape browser.

  Improved,faster&reliable

  Pros: I've been using Netscape Navigator 9, from its launch with Firefox-Engine.Whenever Firefox updates,Navigator also gives corresponding updates.The latest Firefox is 2.0.0.11 and Netscape Navigator is 9.0.0.5.Now,it has stabilized and gives lot of features,faster-browsing,tabbed browsing with a choice of opening of windows,one-click-search and very secure similar to Firefox.It supports most of the Mozilla Addons/extensions, except skins(theme).It retains the old Netscape skin.I've enabled its automatic update option,and I get regular updations.Those who like Firefox will definitely like Netscape Navigator,too.

  AOL is stopping support but,...

  by: Charles K on 27-Feb-2008 05:36:35 AM

  Pros: This browser will still continue to work. I guess I'll have to depend on my security programs to keep me safe on line with Navigator. This just gives me another reason to hate AOL which I canceled after four years because of scam emails telling me I won some European Lottery I never entered. This is still my #1 browser.

  Cons: The only con I have is that it's owned by AOL!

  Very nice and easy!

  by: The Sports Fan on 21-Dec-2007 07:21:04 AM

  Pros: I'm no PC guru so I can't say exactly why, but it works great for me. It's quick, saves my passwords and logs me into sites requiring login all by itself. I just click the link and bamm, I'm in. No hassles with Java or anything. It has become the browser I use more then any other.

  Cons: Still, I cant ind any themes for it but the default aqua matches my "Vista" color scheme.
