Guest Posted August 31, 2002 Report Share Posted August 31, 2002 Buried in a comparison of Mozilla 1.1 & Netscape 7.0 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> To eWEEK Labs, the biggest difference is in the area of pop-up ad blocking. In Mozilla, users can stop pop-up adds by deselecting "Open unrequested windows" in the Scripts and Plugins preference area >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,493248,00.asp looks like mozilla may deserve a download.

khunsanuk Posted September 1, 2002 Report Share Posted September 1, 2002 Hi, I have been using Mozilla for a few months now (since 1.0) and am really happy with it. I just love the option of opening new pages in tabs, rather than seperate windows. Oh, and yes, it can stop those pop-ups. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 1, 2002 Report Share Posted September 1, 2002 Based on the recommendation of the Honorable Monsenior KS.. I loaded Mozilla 1.1.. it's a 10 m download.. I elected to not load the chat.. & it does block pop ups.. I went to 2 sites that are pop up hell & no popups.. whooopie!.. hey, I'm 10K KM from LOS, the pleasures are few & far between! previously "netscape" didn't work well with Front Page's version of DHTML, Mozilla is not as FP friendly as IE but at least the 'fancy stuff' FP provides is recognized. Netscape used to ignore banners & totatly fuched up FP formatting.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted September 1, 2002 Report Share Posted September 1, 2002 Hi, The 'new' Netscape (i.e. 6.0+) are a lot better. They are W3C compliant and all valid HTML should work without any problems. Anyway, glad you like Mozilla. BTW, you can switch off more JavaScript. I have also disallowed JavaScript to move / resize windows, something that annoys me as well. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 2, 2002 Report Share Posted September 2, 2002 I have never tried Mozilla, but downloaded NS 7.0 last night (25MB). After using NS 4.78 for a very long time, I am quite happy with it (faster and more options). Because of security-reasons, I am not a big fan of MS products at all, especially when it comes to internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 2, 2002 Report Share Posted September 2, 2002 Just downloaded and installed Mozilla 1.1. My vote goes for Mozilla (more functionality and less annoying aol/ netscape-advertisement than NS 7.0). With 11 MB the download is much smaller too.

Guest Posted September 2, 2002 Report Share Posted September 2, 2002 I'm a fan of Mozilla now, the Mozilla color scheme for pics seems better too. ? seems quick & real customizable.. the bookmark option for "tabs" looks interesting, one button for 'grouped sites', if I can figure it out.. click 1 bookmark & several associated sites are 'tabed' Be careful with the 'cookie blocker' button, I checked the 'always block' for my online email account site ( big ooopppps )& so far, when it says remember it's serious.. cannot figure out how to turn the accept back on.. so now I cannot log onto my email with Mozy, must use IE to check my email! LOL!.. damn IO errors, Idiot Operator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Radley Posted September 3, 2002 Report Share Posted September 3, 2002 Hi, Does anyone know if Mozilla and Opera have Thai language support to enable you to read and type Thai in them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straycat Posted September 3, 2002 Report Share Posted September 3, 2002 Mozilla do have support for Thai characters (at least for reading, I've never typed Thai script using it). It would not surprise me if Opera do as well, since it has long been out in the market. No personal experience from Opera though. Straycat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
