chiclete 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2005 Netscape is the one who finances Mozilla Projects (Ex.: Firefox). Firefox is the basic version of Mozilla Browser. All good functions that Firefox has is going or was already been used by Mozilla and all good functions that Mozilla developers create is used by Netscape, so, why Netscape would be better than Firefox? Firefox is the alpha version, Mozilla the beta and Netscape the official version... Almos it but Mozilla is a separate project from Firefox so it might not follow this version of alpha/beta but Netscape is always the last one to have it. It's what i've heard about it.

guangdian 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2005 I love Firefox. I definetly don't think even a new Netscape could beat Firefox. FF has been completly flawless for me, excellent security, organized, looks great and of course, the tabbing. I honestly didn't know that Netscape was still around anymore. This should be interesting. I'm sure I've boring with fire.I just use the IE most time but now should be a change I don't think fire is a better choice.

Ralphie 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2005 well unless netscape becomes a whole lot better than firefox i do not think i am going to change. i have gotten used to using firefox and i like everything about it. it has all my needs at the moment. so unless the netscape browser becomes the best out there by more than just a little, i am not switching.

Inspiron 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2005 Ha...If you guys didn't know, Mozilla and Firefox are all built based on Netscape. If you would say firefox is excellent, then Netscape will be Ultimate..If you guys have tried Netscape 8 Beta, you will throw Firefox aside and begin using Netscape...Feature wise,Netscape will top all browsers, followed by Opera, then to Firefox.. Lastly IE...I like firefox, but I still prefer Opera for the incredible speed...I'll turn to Netscape when Netscape 8 is released... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
no9t9 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2005 actually, Mozilla IS Netscape. Not developed from netscape. Mozilla was the development name for Netscape 4.x a long time ago. After Netscape came out, soon after, Mozilla source was released and it became its own browser. Then, other browsers were spawned from the Mozilla source. One of them being Firefox.Mozilla was named Mozilla because Netscape wanted a browser that would kill Mosaic which was the major internet browser back in the day. Mosaic had the same market share as IE does today. Mozilla is derived from Mosaic-Killer and Godzilla. So, Mozilla is basically godzilla killing mosaic.

Odyssey 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2005 In my opinion Firefox is a great browser, it is robust, and secure since it doesnt have ActiceX. I personally like the tabbed browsing, its extremely convienent. I have tried the Netscape beta, and I am not inpressed with it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't know that. I used Netscape when I started going online and then my computer broke down, so I got a new one, and the new one was using Internet Explorer, I was actually amazed at how good IE was, until recently when lots of errors appear from IE and I eventually switched to Mozilla firefox(My IE can't load at all now). I am still using firefox and I like it very much, not planning to switch back even if I fix my IE. In my opinion Firefox is a great browser, it is robust, and secure since it doesnt have ActiceX.

I also like weather forecast to be displayed, and you can do that in firefox if you download the extension, it's really cool.However, RuneScape doesn't load in Mozilla because it requires me to download something....

GMTech 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2005 No, I think FireFox will remain better because it is faster, has the great tabbing feature (easily done with <ctrl> + t), it's come from a line of great products from Mozilla, and will continue to grow and get bigger (it's open source!!!).

dark 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2005 HiWell I ain't no big expert but I have to say I am really used to IE. I have also firefox but for some reason the interface gets on my nerves and the whole thing about using it. I have netscape and use it mostly for testing some web pages I create which is not very often lately along with Opera.IE is very easy to use and operate but it is so buggy that I switch to Firefox sometimes.Patrick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jjhou 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2005 firefox is far more better than anything, it is 5 times faster than IE and 3 times faster then netscape... on rank 2 is Opera.. but i'm agree that there are too many security flaw in IE, so does FireFox. but if you are an advance on editing FireFox-opensource-code... that's should be no problem... even my crazy-coding-friend can make his firefox run 8 to 10 faster than IE.

icemarle 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2005 To be honest, it's been a looong time since I've heard Netscape being talked about. I hardly see people using Netscape anymore. I used to have it when I was younger, and it was slow for us. So I went to IE, but I was unsatisfied, and I landed where I am today. A Firefox user. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
