![]() ![]() The only annoyance i’ve found is that the browser seems to default to the IE engine on just about every site, when it renders perfectly and fully functional in gecko. I’ve had no problems with freezing thus far. This is a screenshot of things after i’ve cleaned them up – it’s basically like firefox, with a few things pushed around. ![]() But if you can remove a lot of extraneous junk… like that toolbar of crap…. Theme – yes, the theme is a nightmare… wayyyyyy too much random stuff strewn all over the place. They really have no need monitoring what sites beta users go to… their current advertisement scheme works well enough for them. Spyware bundle – it has *NOT* installed any AOL ads or AOL icons all over the place… in fact, there’s absolutely nothing about AOL mentioned, sans Netscape being owned by AOL, Inc.Īutomated feedback is useful for them… they probably collect info on what sites people chose which engines for, etc… that way, when they release the final product, it can be auto-configured by default to try to give the user the best default experience. ![]() It’s basically identical to the last one… sidebar integration and all. Regarding the AIM version question – Netscape 8 installs an integrated AIM client just like the former netscape releases. When these people get a new computer, they will use the default browser, which will obviously be IE, Safari or Firefox, as practically no vendor is stills shipping Netscape. The only people who still use Netscape are those who never upgrade their browser. When DownloadHelper detects embedded videos it can access for download, the toolbar icon highlights and a simple menu allows you to download files by simply clicking an item. People are switching to Firefox (and maybe some to Opera, becoming aware of alternative browsers through the Firefox mania). Video DownloadHelper is the most complete tool for extracting videos and image files from websites and saving them to your hard drive. I predict that Netscape 8 won’t get much user adoption. They can block annoying ads, protect passwords, change browser appearance, and more. Real made it the other way round, RealPlayer 10 for Linux is using GTK+ and has a very slick and functional UI. There should be torture penalties for all developers who use an individual skinned UI rather than the default toolkit for no apparent reason. Regarding Netscape 8, the UI is horrible. This is not a problem for me, as I just boycott such sites, but it may be quite annoying for users who are more interested in convenience than in politics. So, while these sites would display just fine in all Gecko-based browsers, you can only visit them with Netscape (or by using a user agent spoofer). A lot of sites have some really stupid javascript browser detection mechanisms which lock out everything but IE and Netscape. RealPlayer, formerly RealAudio Player, RealOne Player and RealPlayer G2, is a cross-platform media player app, developed by RealNetworks.No, actually they don’t. The media player is compatible with numerous container file formats of the multimedia realm, including MP3, MP4, QuickTime File Format, Windows Media format, and the proprietary RealAudio and RealVideo formats. RealPlayer is also available for other operating systems Linux, Unix, Palm OS, Windows Mobile, and Symbian versions have been released. 3.2 Formats supported by optional plug-ins.The program is powered by an underlying open-source media engine called Helix. The first version of RealPlayer was introduced on Apas "RealAudio Player" and was one of the first media players capable of streaming media over the Internet. Then, version 4.01 of RealPlayer was included as a selectable Internet tool in Windows 98's installation package. Subsequent versions of the software were titled "RealPlayer G2" (version 6) and "RealOne Player" (version 9), while free "Basic" versions as well as paid "Plus" versions, the latter with additional features, have also been offered. For the Windows OS, the RealPlayer version 9 subsumed the features of the separate program, RealJukebox. RealPlayer 11 was released for Microsoft Windows in November 2007 and for Mac OS X in May 2008. RealPlayer 15 was released on November 18, 2011. This version allowed users to transfer video, music, and photos between their computers and mobile devices, share links of videos and photos on sites such as Facebook and MySpace, and download videos from popular sites such as YouTube and Metacafe. RealPlayer was initially accessed by many users as a plugin to watch streaming video or listen to streaming audio (for example, most of the BBC's websites formerly employed the plugin) but in the early 21st century, Adobe Flash and subsequently HTML5 video became preferred options for this purpose. ![]()
