An especially interesting feature in this new version is tabbed browsing, which allows you to have multiple web pages open at once in one window, which you can view using a tab-based MDI."

  1. Why Mozilla is better than Netscape... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Pop-up blocking. It's not in Netscape 7.0PR1. The other script blocking options are, though, so it was a very concious decision. However, for Joe Homeuser, Netscape is nice in that they bundle Java and Flash and some other junk that may starting off with Netscape easier. Mozilla is still for the technically advanced (Slashdot?) crowd. Netscape is for the home user who doesn't care, as long as it works. Now, how long until IE7? We all know a higher version means better!

    Some other useful customizations can be found at http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html

    For example, this is also good vs popups:
    user_pref("dom.disable_open_click_delay", 1000);
