Netscape 7.04/17/2023 ![]() Sorry for writing such a novel, I guess it’s one of my typical “quick” midnight-postings where I just can’t find an end. Mozilla sometimes has slowdowns here, but then again, Opera’s current DOM support isn’t exactly impressive… In this area there are a lot of differences between the browsers. File Size: 261.20 KB Date Released: Works on: Windows 95 / Windows 98 / Windows Me / Windows 2000 / Windows XP / Windows Vista / Windows 7. Then of course there are differences in rendering complex DOM effects (i.e. Netscape Communications, not yet ready to throw in the towel in the dwindling browser wars, unveiled the Netscape 7.0 browser Thursday. This is not enough to keep me using it though, especially as most of it is just an “illusion”. It is always a tradeoff, if you reflow a lot, you will waste total computing time but if you don’t reflow a lot, it will seem less responsive, also you might wait a longer time before the actual usefull content arrives at your screen.Īs browsers progress and computers become faster and faster anyway, those differences become very very marginal though… But the last time I checked Opera, it still had this “wow that was speedy!” effect for me. There is no modification to the Netscape logo or default settings. In other words, you dont need to download any more components. Mozilla seems to have some small delay (but I’m not sure) when loading a page so it renders the whole page completely before showing it if the page loads fast, but if the page loads slow, it does a very good job at reflowing it after this initial delay.

Some browsers will reflow very quick and responsive at the expense of total page loading time. There are some differences though when it comes to incremental reflow. Today, the browsers are mostly limited by bandwidth. ![]() And if you got a fast computer that can run Mozilla fast enough, then it won’t really matter anymore. If you are on a slow computer, Opera will behave much faster for you.
