Yeah, their prices pretty much suck too. In fact, the only thing they got going for them is Sabine...

And many people continue to vote democrat.
Well its selectable behaviour, so you don't have to have it. But I gotta point out that memory is DIRT cheap these days, and it does nothing sitting in the tray.
As for UI, the current UI and Mozilla are identical in that respect. Have you actually TRIED Mozilla?
Why Mozilla mail of course.
You DO Understand, Don't you, that Mozilla is a cleaned up netscape that runs faster, crashes less, and is up-to-date with industry standard rendering? Its not like you are moving to another planet or something. It just gets maintained better than netscape.
I many years ago switched to the alternate reality of Linux. I mostly work in KDE.
A whole raft of screen shots here.

Once you go Opera, you never go back.
I love the "notes" function. I use "notes" for posts that need to be repeated periodically.
The Bookmark find bar is great. I no longer organize by bookmarks by folders: I simply give them a name that I would most likely search for.
Mail and contacts are a piece of cake.
Deleting cookies on exit makes browsing much more secure.
The links function saves so much time when you're searching for a link on a thread.
And the hot keys make FReeping a pure pleasure.
I've got Opera and Firefox. Just for kicks, I loaded in the same thread and approximated the time to load in each browser.
Firefox was first. It took just about two seconds to load the thread completely.
Opera took less than half that. FWIW
I still like Mosaic!
"Well its selectable behaviour, so you don't have to have it. But I gotta point out that memory is DIRT cheap these days, and it does nothing sitting in the tray"
It can add up when you let everything that wants to sit in your tray (You should see the unusable mess that my uncle's computer has become). Half of the programs on my computer would be doing it if I let them. It's not so bad on my desktop, but my laptop only has 256 MB.
"As for UI, the current UI and Mozilla are identical in that respect. Have you actually TRIED Mozilla?"
Yes, I have. They're similar, but not identical (have you seen the netscape 8.0 UI yet?). For example, Netscape puts an 'x' on each tab, letting you close it easily even if it's not on top, which Mozilla doesn't have.
The blonde did not realize there was mail in Mozilla LOL. I guess cause I saw the Tbird mail program at the site. TY for letting me know that!
Also, there is a utility I use in XP called MiniMIZE that doesn't work in Win2k. Other than that it's all good.
Just because some here are sooo jaded that they think they've seen it all and love to tell the world about it doesn't mean jack.
Keep on keepin' on I say. It adds flavor to FR. I read them and get new tidbits all the time. Emergre being just one.
I just ran that link in Safari. No go. It has a big red block and other problems. (I run OSX 10.3?)
(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie.Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")
In fact you are right -- Safari failed the test for one of its releases (yours, apparently).
10.4.3 fixed it again!
Peak? Are you sure its not PEAR?
