I'm using Netscape 7.1 now, and I tried Mozilla 1.4. Both are
I'd heard that users weren't all that satisfied with 1.3, so far as
usenet and email goes, either. I use 1.3 as a browser only and I'm
perfectly happy with it. No faults to report.
I'd like to hear about how other users feel about 1.4 as a browser.
To be honest, I think that's asking too much, to be a good browser AND
a good email and usenet program. I have a separate program for these
things, and no wish to combine them.
I just dumped Netscape 7.1 tonight, and reloaded Mozilla 1.3. The
mail and news part of the suite is much, much better than in
version 1.4 -- they really screwed some things up in 1.4,
including making some undesirable changes to the interface.
Example, in 1.3 when you select "text only" for your toolbars, you
get a nice, thin bar where your address window and Mozilla icon
is, but in 1.4, when you select "text only" the damn thing stays
the same width! How dumb is that? I mean, somebody actually had to
*make this change* deliberately. The same is true of Netscape
7.1, of course, since N 7.1 and M 1.4 are the same under the skin.
In version 1.3 of Mozilla, the browser works well, and the mail
and news work well. It is a much better choice than version 1.4.
