OT: Browsers & NetScape

Atrocities · #1 July 7th, 2003, 06:43 PM

I have been using Netscape now for about a month and I have to say that I really like it. It is a far better product in most regards to IE. It is faster to load and works really well with my system. IE is a problomatic pain in the arse and I am glad not to be using it.

One thing though, NetScape does not like PBW when you try to execute a command function. I.E. (no pun intended) when you click the undo turn or approve a player to join a game buttons it generates java script errors. IE does not do this, but given the trade off, I will stick with NetScape for now.

Yeah, Netscape tends to do that. I use Mozilla and its based off Netscape so I have the same problem. But I just fire up IE for those simple functions and all is well.
Oh, and IMHO, Mozilla's interface and features are alot better then Netscape.

Isn't it the other way around?

Hmmm, I guess it is. I always thought it was as I said.

I once again need to read more carefully.

In this thread I have to push for Phoenix, a good fast browser with extra abilities, It's based on Mozilla aswell.

Seems it's been renamed to Firebird.
I'm using Phoenix ver 0.3 and haven't seen any reason to upgrade but might do that later.
Here's a link:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firebird/

It has tabs for new windows and pop-up blocking, you select wich sites are allowed to pop-up and then the pop-ups is in new tabs, functions good.

I used to use Netscape to browse until AOL clogged the executeable with bloat code. In those days, I used IE to do PBW. I use Mozilla now, no problems browsing, and using PBW, and it blocks more popups then either Netscape or IE.

I use Proxomitron as a proxy server to block even more popups, but that prevents the PBW site from showing the buttons. Someday I'll figure out what setting is causing that, meanwhile, I just turn in off and refresh when I'm at the PBW site.
