Mozilla 1.0 is out (not official yet)

Recommended Posts

It will probably just end up being the same as Nutscrape Navigator 7, which doesn't really show any improvement over 6.2.x, & still has a bug where if you set the text size to 200% you still have to set it again everytime you reopen a Navigator window. Which is really annoying, considering the fact that that's the only reason I use Navigator - because some ppl STILL haven't grown out of the unbeleivably irritating habit of making websites using fixed sized fonts. If IE was able to enlarge those then I could lose Navigator for good, aside from when testing any web work I'd created.

[Purely for the sake of puns] Maybe that's because it really stinks as a browser? smile

yes & no - it can't enlarge all fonts, only variable-sized fonts. As an example, go here:

http://212.250.105.231/htmlsite/listings.asp

Try it in IE with Text Size set to largest, then do the same in Netscape, except it's called Text Zoom in there. See the difference?

 

Another 1 you can see this with is http://www.icrontic.com/

Sadly, several of the sites who post reviews & articles here on NTC insist on using fixed sized fonts as well.

I won't be switching away from Opera 6.03 any time soon although if I wanted to, Mozilla is probably where I'd go.
