Netscape 7.0 is Out

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stuff-to-download dept.

MrJones was one of many many users to submit that Netscape has released Navigator 7.0 unto the world. With their dwindling market share, it'll be interesting to see what affect this has on internet users. But here's hoping it makes a dent.

      Aw, that statement makes me feel bad.

      Well, it's defintely not going to have much of an effect if Netscape doesn't even bother to mention it's out. Going to http://www.netscape.com just lets me know that Faith Hill is back (from where?) and some relative of the Kennedy's is in jail for 20 years.... if Netscape's not excited about the new 7.0 release, why on earth will I?

  2. Why use Netscape by Skyshadow · · Score: 5, Funny

    Why should/would I use Netscape instead of Mozilla? Not getting enough pop-up windows in my life? Feel the need for a more closed solution?

    Every year during my review, I just pray the words "slashdot.org" aren't mentioned.

      Why would I want to spell check a web page?

      And if I cared, would I really read Slashdot?

    Either it's not happening (the comments I've seen so far might explain why), or NS is withstanding it quite well.

    I was shocked how fast I downloaded all 28 megs (NS, RealPlayer, Java 2, Flash, etc.) for a full install, even over my company's typically laggy connection.

    Yes, I use NS7. It's more polished than Moz overall. I've been using the PR all summer (Why didn't they go through multiple PRs??? There was PR1 and that was it...) Yes, Moz might have some neat features, but overall I've had too many negative experiences with it. (Like refusing to access SSL pages - "Please download the PSM" - I DOWNLOADED AND INSTALLED IT, DELETED AND REINSTALLED IT AGAIN - WORK GODDAMNIT!)

    Interesting how Netscape Radio compares to (say) Musicmatch's radio offering. Haven't checked to see if it runs under Linux yet (2 hours 'till I get home), but it's gonna hurt MM if it can compare, considering that it appears to be free.

    Netscape 7.0 is Out

    I think a lot of us in the community had our suspicions about Netscape's preferences. Something about the smile on that big lizard...

    Sure explains all those sites not supporting Netscape... damn homophobes! Perhaps all Netscape users can now sue those sites for discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation...

  9. I wonder what slashdot's percentages are.... by MojoRilla · · Score: 3, Funny

    I would be very interested to know what slashdot's browser percentages are.

    My guess it goes something like...

    64% IE (silent majority)
    20% Mozilla (loud minority)
    10% Opera (for people who like to browse really fast)
    5% Konquerer (hey, it came with my distro)
    3% Lynx (for people who just can't get enough command lines)

    (yeah, it adds up to 102%. The editors can't spell, either)

    Why would the average user need a spell checker in their browser?

    Sure, a magician might find it handy when he's checking his spells but, for the rest of us, a spelling checker would be a much more useful addition.

    Our lawyers are going to sue you suckas for deep linking without our permission.

    We need the money from litigation because no-one went for our subscription idea and instead block our adverts with mozilla.
