Netscape Confirms 7.2 Release Date
By David Worthington | Published July 28, 2004, 4:04 PM
According to a notice posted on the Netscape Store, version 7.2 of the famed browser will be made available August 3, and distributed as either a free download or low–cost CD. Netscape 7.2 is based on the Mozilla Foundation's Mozilla 1.7 milestone.
Well, it's nice to see that Microsoft isn't the only group that can't get a release date right, lol... Here it is August 4th, and still no 7.2.

|I am using Firefox now, and I am very happy with it. I keep Internet Explorer installed incase I run across a page that only works with it, becuase it is not too bad, though a bit slower and less featured then Firefox.

|Ok, Netscape, why? Firefox is the answer! But it's not Netscape, it's what you need to be using. As for Opera, I won't pay for a browser and I don't want adware on my browser, it's bad enough that it infests most web pages. The only problems I encounter with Firefox are IE components used on sites, like some forum toolbars as an example. Other than that, I absolutely love using Firefox.

|Replace IE with Avant Browser and you dont have to use IE anymore...
Firefox + Thunderbird combination is the best but Opera comes close to second.

|I have the following installed (so I can test out how they all work with a site/script):
Beonex, IE, K-Melon, Maxthon (use instead of IE usually), Mozilla, Firefox, Netscape, Opera.
I use:
IE (when I have to), Firefox (99.9% of the time) and also Thunderbird for my e-mail. Why even bother with Netscape when it's just another spin-off of Mozilla and it's not a very good one at that.
Opera is cool though, just not what I want in a browser.

|Tried firefox and to be frank, it didn't cut the mustard. Still a buggy browser.
Now, Mozilla 1.8a2 on the other hand, is the shiznit (very good), IMO.
Oh btw, I have Netscape 7.1 installed and quite happily switch between it and Mozilla 1.8
I'll definitely download 7.2 when it comes out and I'd recommend some of you give it a try BEFORE you voice your profound opinions.

|Mozilla 1.7 is good
I use Netscape mosst of the time and do like the browser.
I can't stand IE and have actually started to use the MYIE2 instead. But as with IE it is only used rarely.
I look forward to Netscape 7.2 finally being released.

|Avant Browser? That's just an IE shell. It uses the IE browser engine, and
is therefore just as vulnerable to all the security holes that are found in IE.
