Netscape

[John Dingley]

I currrently have XP Pro and IE6

As I'm developing my own website, I would also like to install Netscape on
the same machine (just to test for my website for compatibility). I know
netscape only has about 12% usage but that could equate to a lot of
customers.

My question is: can I install netscape on the same machine WITHOUT PROBLEMS?

TIA
John

Yes, it will co-exist very well.

Thanks Michael - I'm assuming your comments apply to version 7 as well

Have 7.1 installed, and it works very well. Very fast in comparison to IE,
but many web pages display funny. Be careful during installation, not to
load all the AOL stuff, that is unless you want to load it.

If you don't want all the AOL stuff, try Netscape 7.1 Compact

I got version 6 from this site, basically just the slimmed down compact one,
and so far it seems fine.

Thanks for all your help - just didn't want to do it and regret it later

Yes you can install and run Netscape Browser on the same
machine. I have XP PRO and running both on my computer.

NetScape and its open source Gecko-based cousins (Mozilla, Thunderbird,
Firebird, etc.) have a broad international audience. Here NS7.1 is the
default browser and mail/news client, and there is no adverse impact upon
either I.E. or the operating system. NS is far more customizable than I.E.

Best info in the Mozilla groups, or at

Just added 7.1 to my other machine. I may well start using this instead of
IE. It seems to be a lot faster!!

Not so sure about that, but NS and Mozilla do tabbed browsing and have
pop-up blocking and cookie management built-in, which puts them ahead
of IE.

I wouldn't recommend using Netscape. AOL stopped it's browser development, so there won't be any updates. Instead, use Mozilla, available at http://www.mozilla.org It's basically the same browser with a few cosmetic differences. BTW, type about:mozilla in the address bar in Netscape or Mozilla. ;-)

Recommend Mozilla Firebird - still beta-esque, but is smooth, fast, tabbed,
mouse gestured and doesn't bundle mail, news, etc.
