Browser Wars II: CompuServe Strikes Back

Posted by timothy on from the lizards-are-crawling-everywhere dept.

securitas writes "Today CompuServe (an AOL subsidiary) launched CompuServe 7.0 with Netscape as the underlying browser. CompuServe started testing Komodo, a Gecko-based client, last year, and is now experimenting with Gecko-based AOL clients. CompuServe's 3 million-member user base is seen as a testbed before turning AOL's 34 million members into Netscape users later this year." Update: 04/16 20:54 GMT by T : Also an interesting story at CNN on the upcoming Mozilla 1.0. RC1 is very nice, as have been most recent builds.

    We now have one version of Gecko in Netscape, a different one in Galeon, another one in CompuServ, and then we'll have Mozilla and AOL with different versions again.
