Okay, as many of you know I'm a Sr. Systems/Network Engineer for on of the top 50 Microsoft gold partners. I use IE for all work related stuff, not because I have to, because I need the ActiveX and other things for M$ specific sites I run and manage.
I use Opera 7.2x and Firebird from Mozilla for all of my casual surfing. Firebird is great but requires a lot of massaging and extensions to do all the tricks I would like it to do. Opera is another good browser but not free and to be honest still displays some odd behavior.
I was doing some research the other day and ran across some people talking about Netscape 7.1 and since it had been 5 years since I had ever used it I decided to give it a try. After removing the AOL added stuff I was able to really test drive it. I love it, and I love the way that AIM and ICQ are integrated. Is there a reason that I rarely hear anyone mention Netscape 7.1 while talking about Opera and Mozilla. Don't they share a lot of code? Is there anything that I should be leary of? I run ad-Aware all the time and it hasn't added anything that I wasn't aware of.
So, thoughts? Opinions?
