Netscape Navigator 6.0 Reviews

Recently I downloaded both Netscape versions of their new program, 6.1 and 0. Both did not do the job as well as the Communicator series. Too bad because Netscape has a solid browser line in he Communicator series. The question begs to be asked what the heck happened in 6.0 and 1.? The answer lies in the way the program is constructed. ...

Netscape probably look back to the mid-90's with fond nostalgia. At that time I was starting to find out about the web and Netscape Navigator was *the* browser of choice. When Navigator 2 was out, it really had little competition, while Navigator 3 was, without a doubt, a better product than IE3 - it could handle frames and tables that its ...

I use the Internet an awful lot, and I'm a great fan of Internet Explorer. That's the browser that I usually use the most, but I've decided to give Netscape a go, and yes this is my very first opinion written in a Netscape browser. And I've got to admit, I'm starting to make quite a few typos here and there; I think it's ...

Netscape 6 does indeed defy all logic and expectations. After the disappointing Netscape 4.x, I was loosing all hope that Netscape would ever catch up with Microsoft again in the browser stakes – Microsoft seemed almost undefeatable with its powerful browser platform that improved upon every new release. Indeed, Netscape’s failure to ...

Having been driven to distraction by Microsoft Internet Explorer 5, I decided, about a year ago, to download the first beta release of Netscape 6. I'd always thought Netscape 4 had looked tired and boring, but 6 didn't. The menu bars loooked really space age, the layout was good, the 'side bars' were a good idea too (basically the ...

I love the new Netscape6 and I'm very impressed with the general way it looks. Its bright, crisp and very easy to use. There is a very simple tool bar at the top and a side bar that has lots of different links. There's news, search, music, shopping, and loads more. This side bar is quite impressive and its one of the main differences ...

I became a fan of using netscape not long after i started using the internet about a year ago now and then i liked it because it was faster than IE (Internet Explorer). Unfortunatly after seeing netscape 6.0 my opnion has changed dramtically!!!!. Firstly it's hard to believe the same people made it. It's so slow it unbelievable ...

Oh dear. I have been a fan of Netscape browsers for some time, but with the 6th coming of the Netscape browser, they really do have seem to have lost the plot. Perhaps it's partly down to selling out to AOL, renowned makers of terrible, shocking, appallingly bad software (no, I don't like AOL!) but who knows... ...

After reading about Netscape 6 and Netscape advertising it around the web I decided to download it. It was a hefty 1 hour download but I believe magazines ahve started publishing it on their CD Cover Discs. My first look at Netscape 6 was impressive but I soon realised that it wasn't really any different from Netscape 4.7x. Their ...

Netscape 6 is a greedy creature and it will eat up your memory in huge chunks. It's not quite as bad as Netscape 4.7 was,( or so I thought.) I have previously tried Netscape 4.7 and decided to give this new version a try. It was included on a cover disc so I had nothing to lose. If you need to download it though it is a ...

My first browser was Netscape. IE was not bundled with Win95 I was using. I liked it a lot and I became a fan of Netscape. I don't have the best of the feelings for Microsoft so IE was not even a thought even my uni was using Netscape. I left the uni for summer Netscape was at 4.6. After a 9 month period without internet and after I got a new ...

Firstly, I'll confess that I'm a bit of a Microsofty. Perhaps that means I shouldn't be writing an opinion on Netscape, as I'd obviously hate it anyway, but my feelings on this one are so strong that I have to write about it. Netscape 6 is a big departure from Netscape 4.whatever. Instead of boring grey buttons, they ...

Netscape 6 has been long awaited by those of us used to using the 4.x version. I've used that for some time, successfully, but I had issues with it. Specifically, the way it crashed whenever I asked it to do anything useful. So when Netscape 4.x died on me, I ran a whole disk diagnostic, swept out all the unusued files and gubbins I ...

After seeing reviews and comments on Netscape 6, I decided to give it a try. I went to the site, and downloaded it (which took an absolute age, because there are multiple files, which are a large size (about 5 mb each)), then installed it. The stupid thing is that it keeps on nagging you to sign-up to their netscape services, so that ...

We are all trapped using Internet Explorer. Netscape was slow and clunky and didn't support new features. Internet Explorer is owned by nasty Microsoft, and I just don't want to support them any more than I have to. So I was waiting, with baited breath, for the new version. Trouble is, is is slow (very slow to start up), and ...

First of all, it's a bit of a shame that Netscape feel they have to call this browser 6, just to market it against Microsoft, but I suppose it doesn't make a lot of difference, it's the product that counts, right? In this case, Netscape are still doomed. Netscape 4 was awful, right up to the last version, 4.7. Is it any wonder MS ...

I found the new Gecko based browser available for download directly from one of the TuCows mirrors - thus saving ages in d/ld time. The total file size was 24mb - phew what a bloat! I have been a long time fan of Netscape browsers and have used them up to version 4.7x. The new browser is chock full of new features - far too many ...
