Re: Netscape crashing - Why do we have to rely on Netscape?
I have been following the threads about the instability of Netscape with
great interest. I too suffer the same symptoms - the ones where Netscape
disappears when a certain page is requested, or where it closes/crashes
when one window of two/several is closed.
What I cannot understand is why we have only Netscape as a *viable*
graphical web browser. I am no programmer so maybe someone could point
out why there aren't several to choose from. I am aware of old ports of
Mosaic and the 'test-bed' Amayana? (sorry, can't remember the exact
name). I am also aware of Mozilla. is that usable yet?
Thinking about it, there are not that many choices available for Windows
either - I was investigating some for use by my students and it appeared
most 'alternatives' were based on IE and just provided a different front
end.
