I've noticed that it delete my profiles. Somehow, the reload/stop button does not work. It crashes when it first launches. It did manage to port everything in Firefox 1.0. Comet is nice, but it still has a lot of fuff left over from Aluminum. The new Customize Toolbar is bad. Loading pages is slow. I have not tried to install extensions or themes yet

I posted twice, and nothing here. I am too tired of fighting it. Three strikes and it is out. It worked ok, sort of, but could not even load a page after closing it, and reopening it.

It's good that AOL are releasing Netscape 8.0 soon, and especially the fact that the menubar can
be repositioned into the right place (where it should've been to start with) but I'll be happy if the
outsourced Netscape Product Team at Mercurial Communications could do us one big favour . . .

Release Netscape 8.0 for Mac OS X and Linux, not just for Windows!

So far very good !
Did anyone of you tried to put (at least) some of your bookmarks into Multitab ? There is no "workaround" like Alice described for Proto2.

Edit:

After I press submit button to post, Beta offered me Data Card for this page!

The default setting for rendering trusted sites is set to Internet Explorer.

I wonder what is Netscape doing...

A few things:

1.) Mercurcial Communications is not the Netscape Product Team. Mercurial is one of many technology partners working on this browser.

2.) IE is not the default rendering engine. It was only preset as the default rendering engine for the few trusted sites there are. If you don't like IE being the engine for the Trusted Sites setting, you can easily change it.

3.) You can turn off the automatic settings by going in the "Trust Preferences" tab.

There isn't much you can't customize in this browser. Have at it.

Thanks

I really thought I would hate the new blue theme but I actually like it. I haven't had any problems with it yet except the horrible frustrations of customizing the toolbars and such.

The menu bar shift is a good, good thing. Well, I don't have much of a problem with it being on the right - at least you can FIND it.

Now all I have to do is wait for the Mac version... but I'm really unsure how most of these features are going to port over.

Anyway, good stuff... needs some cosmetic changes, but still good stuff.

I care little about the extras. I am concerned about the fact that I cannot remove a site from the Site Controls. I just don't even want to see some.
It took me five tries to get something which resembles the Proto 2.
The first time I did what any Netscape or Mozilla user would do, uninstalling Proto 2 but leaving the profile. It was not so bad, in retrospect, but had no multi- toolbar, understandably. So, I uninstalled it, and removed the profile, but took the Netscape7.1 setting(I don't have the program, but have the profile). It was not so bad, but things started going to pot when I tried to make some changes. My third and fourth try used Firefox1.0 settings. In each case, I was not able to open this unlikely "survivor" after closing it once. Finally, after I had given up completely, I tried again, using Moz1.7.5, and, everything appeared, somehow, including the Personal Toolbar.
This morning, it froze on starting, but when I cllicked Cntrl+Alt( not Del), it started loading the Tab. So, we have wise guy, at hand.
But, I did not like the Tabs, File|Open Tab will open only Netscape.com, without entering a website. I eventually wised up, and replaced the multi-netscape.com tabs, and saved the settings.
So, after five minutes of power struggle, I entered a website of my choice, and before I could open any link, the beast decided that it had had enough for the day, and shutdown.
After a suitable wait, I tried again. My Tabs were all present, but although the multi-tab number 4 says Bookmarks, I must have gone, selectively, blind, because nothing is there. Everything, in fact, is gone from the toolbar. Finally, after failing to sign in the Message Boards, because of alleged javascript or cookies' infractions, I was able to do it. Now, I will have to find the mail and Feedback buttons, which disappeared after the shutdown.
Chapera reminds me of a program which I had tried which required reinstalling for each use. I said, somewhere else, that this "improvement" reminds me Netscape 6.0. If they release it without some major changes, Netscape is, indeed, doomed.
Now, let's see if it let me post.

CPU usage constantly going up to 44%, memory usage also around 50Mb, what 's the reason? Flashes in the webpage? memory leakage? or whatelse?
