Mozilla = (Netscape -advertising)@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Mozilla is great, I've been using it as my main browser since version 0.8. (I'm using 1.6 on OS X right now. 1.21 is the last official OS 9 supported versions, and there is a build of 1.3 out there for OS 9 <http://wamcom.org/latest-131/> It runs, albeit horribly slowly on my PB 5300 with 48 MB ram)
Netscape is a re-badged Mozilla with some extra doodads and much extra built-in advertising.
Netscape 6 was immature (based on Mozilla 0.8) 6.2 is, iirc, based on Mozilla 1.0, and Netscape 7.2 is based on Mozilla 1.4.
Mozilla comes out faster with new upgrades. (they've been averaging about a point release every four months or so.) Save for a few sites that actively weed anything but IE (usually IE on Windows only) I've not had any problem with Mozilla with my bank or credit card companies.
Thanks for the explanation Bruce. You have convinced me . I'll give Mozilla a try.
Somehow I have associated it with Linux. And while I respect Linux it's myriad files with exceedingly odd names and acronyms has always been intimidating. My perception of Mozilla saw it in this light.
The only time I get any popups with Netscape is if I go to a popular website . I rarely do this so it is not a problem for me. Most sites I access
are hobby or information related.
