I just installed Navigator 9 today 'cause Propeller was lagging SO bad, and timing out in Firefox.
Fun stuff.

Guys,
I've looked at the other netscapes; but I browse and use NETSCAPE 7.2. I like this edition, simple ease of use and mail etc. Every upgrade since I have found to be not user freindly.

    Your assumption is correct. Speed is determined by the receiving server. Also called low bandwidth.

Having been a fan of Netscape ever since it's introduction I am saddened to see it disappear. It's probably the only "brand loyalty" I've ever had. But life is nothing more than a series of losses and learning to deal with them until life itself is lost.

I'll have to check it out. I switched to FF a while ago. Love the security.

I have liked Netscape from the beginning, so I will be sad to see it go. I don't using Foxfire with Propeller because it doesn't keep my tag history. I have downloaded Flock, gave it a test run and it doesn't look like I will have that problem with it. It has been nice using Netscape, but I guess it is time to move on.

Wait a sec. It says:
The "Remind me later", followed by clicking the "Stay with Netscape" button, can be used in case one wants to keep Netscape 9 after the end of support date. For those who are keeping Netscape, the Navigator 9.0.0.6 release contains the security patches contained in Firefox 2.0.0.12.
Does that mean that people will still be able to use netscape after March 1st?

  Nothing would keep a person from using the browser after March 1st. You just have to understand that no more security updates will be released for it. Jay Garcia, who is one of the developers, often has said on his site that Netscape 9 should still be safe to use for years to come.
  Of course, as sites change and html is upgraded, Netscape could become nonfunctional. But, it will probably be awhile before that happens.
