I use netscape 4.78 just to check the compatiblity of my site.
My web status shows that I have less than 1% of visitors of netscape users.
Honestly, I'd rather use Opera 6.0. It's much better than netscape 4.7x series.

I still use Netscape 4.08 for testing purposes only.
Why?
Because it's so fricken picky! If my site loads correctly under Netscape 4.08, it will correctly load under any browser. :)

You more then right with that!
Unfortunately I have same pages with php scripts which this "stupid" browser is not even able to display it's even worst just gets killed.
But this is my sign up page for our newsletters which we will start sending out soon.
So now I have go back to the board and start from the beginning. Ahh what a pain.

If a website loads well in netscape, it's gonna run well under any kind of browser.
If it does not load under netscape, something is wrong.

Not agree to that.
There are many scripts which just don’t run in this “junk” browser.
And I think everybody which is using form objects like text fields or list menu gets crazy as they show up almost double in size then in Opera 5&6 and Netscape 6&6.2 and IE 4,5, 5.5 and 6.
Anyway I gave up a long time ago to take care about this specific browser. If there are still people who use this “junk”, I think they have lots of problems on many sites.

Well, I have been using Netscape 4.7x for long time. Although I only have used for checking whether my site works or not. I have also tried to explore web with netscape 4.7x.
In most cases, web sites run ok under netscape 4.7x but it has some problem with handling css and java but majority of popular and large sites work under netscape.
