Netscape 6, PR 3 Released

Posted by Hemos on from the a-little-less-leaky dept.

A slew of people wrote in about the release of Netscape 6, PR 3 this morning -- Windows version, Linux 2.2, and Mac, assuming you speak English or Japanese. The word from Netscape is that French and German will be "soon." 'Course, I still think that apt-getting a certain Mozilla is all ya need, but hey.

  1. AOL On Desktop?! by Julius+X · · Score: 5

    Ok ok...I can deal with most things, but when I saw the Mozilla "installer" (i.e., downloader) picking up a package called "AOL On Desktop"--aod.xpi, I promptly became suspicious. I deleted the file before the Netscape Installer could install that .xpi, but then the installer crashed. How beautiful. They give you no choice on whether you want that or not. Looks like Netscape is doing the Real(tm) thing for us.

    (Sigh).

  2. Skipstone by spinfire · · Score: 5
    The best browser package i've seen in a long time is Skipstone, a galeon-like browser that uses Gecko as its rendering engine. The result is a browser that runs fast (Gecko), without all the user interface cruft mozilla has.

    With the creation of the mozilla-gtk widget many new mozilla-likes have sprouted up, but i think Skipstone may be one of the greatest of lightweight browsers. (Of course a full mozilla/netscape session is needed for SSL or other features)
