Camino, IE7, Firefox, SeaMonkey, and of course Navigator(which is Firefox with a different face and much faster on Mac than the fox) all show my floats fine that I hand programmed. I'm going nuts trying to cater a little to them. In other words, if you don't have the extra money for the RAM or the new Hitachi HD for your Intel 950 Graphics Macbook, stick with Navigator 9.Īs for OmniWeb, Safari, Shiira, iCab, and Opera.
#FREE NETSCAPE DOWNLOAD FOR MAC INSTALL#
Then, Firefox 2.0+ was amazingly slow on a default Intel install without more memory or a faster hard drive than the normal 5400rpm, and Navigator 9 waltzes in, fast on a default setup, as useful as Firefox 2, and making up for Firefox programmers not having enough time to test enough on a default install on any simple new macbook. Netscape from then on was tolerable, and even SeaMonkey was better(a twin of sorts). 6.2 was a fix, but IE had the reins by then. In my opinion, it does not even come close to equally the stellar performance of Netscape 9. However, it and Safari will be my main browsers until Firefox eclipses it in performance and features. Well, AOL does seem to have gotten this browser right, as well as their excellent AOL radio client. Netscape does not have this difficulty, either. And, both Firefox browsers had an annoying leak where java script would bleed to other applications after switching from Firefox. To be honest, I still had the same performance issues. In fact, they really are indistinguishable in look. Netscape was quite easy to set-up like Firefox. Well, I found out that Netscape does use the same plug-in that are available in Firefox. It does not make sense, but it is true! On Firefox- I was getting significant pauses on loading pages that have been somehow fixed by using Netscape 9.Īt first, I thought it was because I had different add-ons in Firefox than what I was using in Netscape. I can not believe how much better it is on my system than Firefox. I must say that I am most chagrined that this will be the last build of Netscape- and that I just decided to give it a try now.
