Sun Netscape 6 for Unix

Pros: bundled browser, email, newsreader and web building abilities.
Cons: Too smart for it's own good

Revision at bottom of review.


Dear Netscape:
I hate to have to write to you like this, and on such short notice. I have noticed lately that you haven’t been yourself though. I thought maybe it was just a phase you...

Pros: Handles code as is without fixing user errors
Cons: Poor table rendering, doesn't recognise all CSS elements

This is a counter opinion to aaanativearts review of Netscape Navigator.

Being a web designer is not all beer and skittles, and the companies that make...

Pros: free, good web site builder
Cons: frequent crushes, I cannot uninstall it !!

When I bought my computer it came with Internet Explorer and I thought that's the best browser in the whole world. Until I used the unix version of Netscape. There was something about it that made me want it so bad on my computer that I installed it...

Pros: great features, AOL compatibility
Cons: its bad reputation hides it true worth

Ok, before I begin, I would like to tell the story of when I updated to the newest version of both Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator.

Ok...so Internet Explorer tells me it's time to update, and I go through the not-too-difficult...

Pros: Great for CS profs grading HTML code.
Cons: The browser breaks by design.

Before you read this, please read the Netscape Communicator reviews by aaanativearts, samsonite1023, clocks, and skadar. Go on, this is important. Come back when you're through.

Welcome back. Not a pretty picture, is it? You've just heard from...

Pros: Smart Browsing feature
Cons: There are many I'm sure, but they don't bother me.

I am not a Microsoft-hater. I use netscape for one reason -- for one particular feature. I first began using Netscape back at version 2 when I purchased Quicken, which bundled Netscape for use with their online features. I wasn't even on the internet,...

Pros: Better than Navigator 4.7 (in some ways), multi-platform, and its not Microsoft
Cons: Buggy, slow, incompatible, bloated, and sometimes it just doesn't work.

Saying Gecko falls short of the mark is a little unfair, since its about the only part of Netscape version 6.x that works well. For those that don't know, Gecko is the codename for the bit of the browser that actually draws the page for you to look at....

Pros: Bookmarks
Cons: Buggy and Bloated

Netscape Communicator 4.72 is one of several browsers installed on my home and work computers. I very seldom use Netscape anymore because it has become bloated and buggy. Netscape does still have its uses; however, in my opinion, it is no longer the...

Pros: Not IE
Cons: Its Netscape!

This seems to be an ongoing debate out there. Which is better, Netscape vs. Internet Explorer? Well, I would have to go with Netscape. I work in an office building, and the users of Internet Explorer always seem to have trouble with webpages that...

Pros: Easy to use
Cons: none

When I first started surfing the net, I used Internet Explorer. It felt awkward to use, so I switched to Netscape.

Right from the beginning it was easy to use and understand. You can see how fast or slow the web pages are loading, your...

Pros: Java
Cons: Crashing

I generally like Netscape, when using a browser, but lately the browser has been crashing. I currently have Communicator 4.7, and whenever I run more than one window the program crashes and I lose all the data I had up. It's really annoying and I can't...

Pros: Not as vulnerable to viruses as IE
Cons: Just about everything else !

As a web designer, Netscape Navigator is my worst nightmare! I can knock out a page for Internet Explorer 5.0 and have it working in half an hour. Then, I spend the next six hours fixing things so it will sort of, kind of work in Netscape. Even then,...

Pros: Still the best browser
Cons: Just can't get the job done

I've used Netscape since I began surfing the web, at least 5 years ago. I've seen it go from the most popular browser, to playing second fiddle to Microsoft. I've always stuck with it, because I like it, and I like it's ease of use. Until now. Now, I...

Pros: works fast, seldom crashes
Cons: needs settings changed, and, doesn't display everything

Want to browse a little faster? Do you visit a lot of the same sites every time you are on?

Maybe you are looking for an easy way to build a web page?

Netscape Communicator and Composer, a part of the Netscape package, are...

Pros: Great Service
Cons: None

I really love this program. I have grown up using Netscape. I was sad to see it loose market share as it is pushed out by the overly pushy Microsoft. Over the years I have noted that Netscape continues to up the bar by increasing the abilities of the...
