Netscape 7.1 Released
Phil writes "Netscape has just released the eagerly-awaited Netscape 7.1 (previously known by its codename, 'Buffy') for Windows, Mac OS and Linux. The new version is based on Mozilla 1.4, which is due out later today. Netscape 7.1 features many improvements over 7.02 including even better CSS support, spam filters, find-as-you-type, automatic image resizing, more customization via about:config, Web development tools, Palm synchronization and more. Plus, for the first time, ChatZilla (Mozilla's IRC client) is included in the full install. More information can be found at Netscape Browser Central and in this MozillaZine article. The release is available from Netscape's download page, via FTP or on CD."

Netscape could resist naming it Netscape 8 ? The apocalypse is near !
Winamp 3's IRC client is better than Mozilla's
AOL ad sales reps?

I was sweating while I was attempting to download it before the article (on slashdot) went live ... just made it under the wire.
KARMA TAG! You're it.
You can blame it on me for breaking down and deciding to update to Mozilla 1.4RC3 via my dialup just the other day... Of course they would release 1.4 so I have to download it again :/
Arguing about vi versus Emacs is like arguing whether it's better to make fire by rubbing sticks or banging rocks.
What is Netscape?
before its slashdotted Well, that is a good way to keep it from being /.'ed Post the link on /.
Bloat sucks. Who the hell needs SSL support or graphics anyway.

I for one like having my browser decrypt Content Scramble System encoded DVDs.

but what if you don't have two hands free while browsing for pr0^H^H^H stuff?
Yeah.. I seem to run across that problem alot in many browsers.. it's unfortunate.

This is also referred to as the 'Spam-O-Matic(tm)' feature.
Integrated AIM. There's integrated ICQ too, but it's worthless as it uses the same UI as AIM (i.e. no single message mode).
Aka 'Instant Spam-O-Matic{tm)' with patented 'Bloodninja' cybersex capability.
Spellcheck (yes it's available as an addon to Mozilla)
Known under it's code-name, the 'CmdrTacoWillNeverEverUseThis' feature'.
Java and the most popular plugins are included. So it's easier for the average person to set up.
Because the download size of Mozilla just isn't big enough!
Probably not the case on this release due to simultaneous releases, but in the past, Netscape took stable Mozilla branches and did futher bugfixes before releasing, resulting in a better product.
Yeah. Because Netscape 7 was SOOOO much more stable than Mozilla 1.x
I'd use Netscape over Mozilla if they'd just leave in the "Block Images from Server" option in Netscape
What edwig didn't tell you is that he works for America Online and has most of his stock portolio tied up in AOL/TW stocks.

Yeah, like in bizarro land or something? Does every mac come with a built in mind altering ray or something?
the eagerly-awaited Netscape 7.1
Before I accept such an outrageous statement I'll need proof. Thank you.

You Mean that I can watch my DVDs in Netscape 7.1? Better not let the MPAA know about it.
Good grief, did you just admit to using Windows? On Slashdot? Are you INSANE?

Using Netscape 7.1 for Windows (I am at work, ok?) I still can't vote in a poll properly (pop-up appears, but the vote data is loaded in main window, leaving pop-up blank).
I think Netscape 7.1's Good Taste algorithms are working just fine. Good CSS support and preventing people from voting in Wolf's damned sensationalistic and myopic polls is win-win

no wonder you post anonymously, whats more scary is that i noticed it
I didn't even know it existed. The only people who use Netscape are people who are out of touch with reality and they probably are still using Netscape Gold. Ahhh, Netscape Gold.
