Mozilla 0.9.1 tips and Netscape 6.1
A few things for anyone looking for a good Gecko-based browser:
- Mozilla 0.9.1 has been released, and is an astoundingly strong build of the original Gecko-based browser.
- To make the Mozilla 0.9.1 load faster (IE equivalent speeds) on Windows try this suggestion found on MozillaZine:
- Copy the Mozilla shortcut to your Start menu
- Right click on it, and choose Properties
- In the target line, append
-turboafter the program location, so it should read something like:
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla\mozilla.exe" -turbo
- Netscape is finally releasing the browser that really should have been called 6.0. The Preview Version (beta) of 6.1 is roughly equivalent to Mozilla 0.9 series. You can download it now (and if you have Netscape 6 or 6.01 you really should upgrade).
The latest progress with the development of the 6.x level browsers is creating an exceptionally good base for standard-based development. Now if only Microsoft would ditch its SmartTags.
