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."

Winamp 3's IRC client is better than Mozilla's

the eagerly-awaited Netscape 7.1

Before I accept such an outrageous statement I'll need proof. Thank you.

CSS Support?

You Mean that I can watch my DVDs in Netscape 7.1? Better not let the MPAA know about it. ;)

Favorites? Start Menu? Programs Menu?

[psoriac]

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 :)

Slashdot
Goatse (the "eh" title)

no wonder you post anonymously, whats more scary is that i noticed it ;(

Eagerly awaited??

[deadgoon42]

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.
