Netscape 6.2

Posted by michael on from the apparently-unaware-that-browsers-wars-are-over dept.

lylonius writes: "Netscape today released version 6.2 of its browser based on Mozilla. Downloads for a variety of platforms and languages are available. You can also check out the release notes. This release comes off the Mozilla 0.9.4 branch, and is the third major release from Netscape using Mozilla." Kmeleon also has a release today, if you'd like your web with a little more browsing and little less AOL-promotion.

    In my experience, sites do render significantly faster if they use "correct" html or xml. I can only base this on my own experience, though.

    If you're going to a lot of ASP sites, then IE seems to render those faster than Mozilla. (I know. Big Shock! MS always optimizes its products for its own platform.)

    Not at all for me. The gecko rendering engine is by far the fastest I've used. Beats IE, konqueror, and opera hands down for me. In fact if I plug my laptop up to a fast connection I often don't even see the page render, it's just there.

    Not sure why you're having problems.

    First, why would you expect an account called LinuxIsForAssholes to get much cred on a linux-centric forum, and second, why don't you just go somewhere else? There's this where AC posts aren't allowed and moderation is optional (though it is here as well, you realize) and there's this where trolling is explicitly forbidden and stoopid trolls will get their posts actually deleted instead of modded down, and there's this which nobody really seems to visit, and I'm sure there's a dozen other weblogs I don't know about where you can make yourself heard.

    On the other hand, if your only purpose in posting is to troll, you probably won't get far anywhere else either. You participate in a community here. You aren't guaranteed anything except your ability to participate. So, like, quit whining.

    What is faster than mozilla?
    Mozilla loads slashdot faster than IE and Opera, I have all 3 browsers.

    Heh. I almost downloaded this thinking it was a KDE version of Mozilla. :)
