Well, sine we did this for Firefox and Opera, I guess it is only fair that we ask the same question for AOL's Netscape web browser.

Now that Netscape 8.0 has been out for a little while, it is our turn to ask the same questions about it. Have you tried it? Are you using it? What do you think about it?

As always, this poll will run for a week (ends Sunday). Let the voting begin!

It's OK I guess, using it a little but still haven't switched everything from 7.2. Not my main browser, but Netscape seems to be the best of all browsers I've tried at getting you in to email accounts quickly, especially some of the finicky emails that come with web hosts. It also gets me in to a particular (not OCC!) forum site that makes me log in every time on every other browser.

Also, Netscape seems to be very fast on my particular comp/ISP. Still not switching from Opera, though. I can't believe that all browsers don't yet have mouse gestures.

I tried an earlier version, didn't care for it.

Didn t try it still use firefox.

sticking to firefox here also havent tried netscape either since the days of v6

This poll isn't asking if you tried older versions. This is about 8.x only.

nope. I used Netscpae for while... Never tried Netscpae 8 though... but im stickign with my IE. I dont get any bugs or spywares with IE. And its pretty stable on mine... So yea.

I use 8.0 and Firefox. I like the feature in 8.0 that remembers passwords and ALSO logs in automatically after filling in the username and password fields.

That could become very annoying in certain situations.

hahaha

That's the quote of the year.


Never tried netscape. I don't give losers second chances, lol

I think the last version of Netscape i tried was like 2 years ago lol... Its been a while since i switched to Firefox and i have not looked back yet!

I haven't tried it, and most likely won't - I'm sticking with FF and Mozilla.

I stopped using Netscape completely when it became AOHell's, I think 4.7 was the first AOHell version, and the last one I used - it's worse than IE. OTOH, I think it's awesome that it breaks IE, and that IE won't run right until Netscape is gone! Sweet - someone is doing to MS what they've done to everyone else for years. HA!

I'm not going to even bother trying it. Firefox is perfect, there couldn't be anything in Netscape 8 that would make me want to switch browsers.

Use to love netscape a long ,long ,time ago. had a prob with it freezing my puter and never used it since, that was 8 years ago.

There isn't a single piece of software around that's perfect - but I do think FF is currently the best browser around; maybe Opera is also at that same level, I just haven't used it enough to compare. Anyway, even including Netscape, anything that moves people away from IE is a good thing.

oops.. i voted Tried it and sticking with firefox... the last version i tried was like 5 or 6.. haha.. and i deleted within a few minutes
