  1. Re:Yet more if(browser=xxx) on Mozilla M17 Is Out · · Score: 1

    if everyone just used browsers that could set the browser string (such as iCab can) and set their string to Netscape 4 or even Lynx we'd be fine.

    And if you're so upset that Mozilla/Netscape has a mail client, then I suggest you choose not to install that component when you're given the option during installation. Gosh that was difficult wasn't it?

    hi DrXym, i guess Mozilla is different depending on the platform you're on. On the Mac u download the thing, it opens a nice big folder and then u double click the mozilla icon and in a minute or so you're browsing. no installation or options offered unfortunately.

    well u can get IE5 / OE 5 on the mac as well, but they are kinda separate. they share some attributes such as sloth and crashability

    who uses usenet? judging by the piles of crap i wade thru while i'm eating my toast every morning a few million or so souls. i don't know anyone who uses web mail as their primary mail, most ppl i know got it as a backup / holiday mail. i agree the mail and news should be separate from the browser though.

    usually the rationale these big companies give for merging and becoming even bigger is that they need to do it so they can better adapt to the white hot speed of the net. yeah right.
