Gadgets & Tech – Netscape is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Netscape Navigator 9.0 Beta 2. The release is now available for download from browser.netscape.com for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
I'm rather confused because the bugs from the first beta are still present in the new beta. When I click a link, I have to click on the new tab before I can see the page. Also, according to this story integrated voting has been improved. I see no improvement because I haven't had voting buttons in my location bar since shortly after I started using beta 1. I just don't see any of the improvements I'm supposed to be seeing.
The tabs in 9b can't compete with 8.1.3. Such a pain in 9b because no matter which tab I open a new link off of the new one starts at the end. I like the new tabs opening next to the mother tab. Also liked every tab having the "x" so I wouldn't have to right click or switch over to close.
I still use the DEPENDABLE and EASY to use 7.2.
IF IT AINT BROKE, DON'T FIX IT.
Thanks
BTW the newer versions are too full of UN-NEEDED crap. Like tabs and the so called security is not as GOOD as 7.2.
Also,Why does the AD keep popping in and out on All Netscape Browsers.
You never should have SOLD OUT to aohell in the First place. Just my opinion.
I started with 9.0b and was very happy. I usually don't do betas. This was a charm. So was upgrading to the next version of 9.0.
A lot has improved since 8.x - 8 was so bad I prefered 7.2.
However the feature in 8 that let you open tabs next to the one you were working in was very good and should be brought back.
BTW 9.0b is way more stable than 7.2 or 8.x ever were.
BTW thanks for speeding up bookmarking from 8. That was butt slow. However, 7.2 was much faster than either.
Good work guys.
BTW I'm sending you this from 8 because I like the tab feature so much I use 8 when I'm composing a blog piece.

Awesome! If I install the new version, will I retain all my extensions, bookmarks, history, cookies, etc. from Beta 1?
Everything from beta 1 will be retained.
Just upgraded. Works like a charm. Thanks!
Was this a planned exchange between you and richwklein? I feel like we are in a commercial. :)
catstevens,
Re: "Was this a planned exchange between you and richwklein? I feel like we are in a commercial." :)
good one cat! lol
yeah it does look like this was rehearsed.
That isn't the case for me. Just tried and it didn't retain anything from beta 1. No bookmarks, no toolbars or browser plugins. Gave an option to import from Safari though.
Worked perfectly for me. Runs great and much faster on Netscape email that 8.0 was. Thanks!
