Just like at work when we are told they will be upgrading the computers, we all cringe knowing that it will all crash soon.

Completely agree. This is an awful mess. Makes me want AOL again and there newgroup reader

Don't forget the modern way is to focus-group changes with the brain dead first. Find out from existing users? Are you mad? That is just so last century.

...Netscape 7.2.
you never tried firefox, rufe? nutscrape plus, plus. give it a shot.
Yeah - I'm kinda stuck where I am. 7.2 is meeting all of my needs and is a snap to use. 'Course, the broadband helps.
kill pop ups? if so, why change?
Did they include the "pop-up blocker" in 7.2? It has been part of Mozilla (and FireFox) for a couple of years now. (FireFox has actually been around that long...)
Yup. It has some NS/Time-Warner defaults allowed on install (go figure...) but you can clear them out and then...no pops. None.
Yes - it's been available as a plug-in for NS for a couple of releases (that I'm aware of) but sometime during the 7.x series they incorporated it.
I really like the one-stop-shopping aspect of NS. Browser and Newsreader in one. No "format change" unless I make it, a pop-up killer, and selective control over cookies - I can allow them for sites of my choosing, deny them all together, or limit their life...to a single session or date of my choosing.
And the best part - it's FREE.
6.0 was such a botvh i bailed for mozilla and never looked back. but if it works...
So...that's how E-bay came up with their beta version!

The 6.x releases did suck - even though they seemed to work best under Mac OS X. But the 7.x releases ROCK. There was a drastic up in speed and stability with 7.0, and it just kept getting better from there.
I run 7.2 on my Mac under OS X at home, and at work under Win-dose XP
2000. Both versions are rock solid and very fast. And...oh yeah...FREE.PolyTech Forum website is not affiliated with any of the manufacturers or service providers discussed here. All logos and trade names are the property of their respective owners.
