Help, please

I'm pretty binary in that regard. It either stays or goes. Dumbasses
get killfiled because they waste my time. When pressed for time, I use
on-the-fly heuristics like, "this thread's dumb, skip the rest".

I just found out i can delete and ignore whole threads with one key
stroke, makes things a lot simpler.

Why would a browser NOT have e mail and news?

Many people want separate programs for each task.

The thing about Opera is it looks newer and fresher, i really don't see
how it can be better than what i have got. Look better but ... that is
of course why i ask...the Netscape never gave me any problems, and is
easy to configure, i guess im going to have to see if a closer look at
the opera browser is available.

Why not just try Seamonkey? It'll be the most like your current
Netscape Navigator, and it's free. It inclused borwser, new,
email (chat (kinda), RSS, and a few other things not normally
used).

I tried to download opera and while it down loaded fine when i tried to
open it would quit and i would get an error message that "opera quit
upon opening".

I guess ill stick to Netscape, its not broke, why try to fix it, but i
did like the look of Opera.

Whatever you do DON'T TRY SEAMONKEY!!! The tabbed browsing
feature alone is reason enough to hate it.

Ack! I use Seamonkey and I do not have tabbed browsing. Now I wonder
what I am doing wrong. 🙁 Sonsabitches...

You have tabbed browsing.

Edit -> Preferences -> Navigator -> Tabbed Browsing:

Check:
Switch to new tabs opened from links.
When Opening Bookmarks: Add New Tabs
A new Tab in the Current Window (twice)

Uncheck:
Hide the tab bar when only one tab is open

This shows my Seamonkey with 5 tabs (brower sessions) in one
window:

To create new tabs pree the little buttom to the left of the
first tab (Google, in that screenshot).

Note that I'm using the "Orbit 3+1" Theme which makes my SM look
different than it usually does out of the box.

It looks a lot like FireFox. What are the differences between them?

Seamonkey includes a mail and news client, most notably. Also a
chat program and a simple web page composer. You can also add
RSS feeds to it.

Ah, okay... that's why I got FF. It's a just browser.... anything
else is added on.

Think of Seamonkey as Firefox and Thunderbird all rolled into
one, plus a few extra added features (usually only available as
"extensions" to Firefox).

"munging" is making up an email address, say something like
[email hidden], also as a spam trap.

No, that's a fake Email address. Munging is when you change it so that
a real person can figure it out, but the spamming software can't.

7.2. It's from 2004, way back when they used to support mail and
news.

Reminds me of a visit to Kmart. I asked about something on sale. The
employee looked at me like I was crazy, "That's not on sale! It's
*never* been on sale." I explained that I had seen something in a flyer
last week. He exclaimed, "LAST WEEK? Maybe it was on sale back then,
but it's not on sale now." I try to avoid Kmart.

If it ain't broke, why fix it? Be aware, though, that eventually
something will change (usually a new computer) and the old software
won't work anymore, so you'll have to change. Thus, it's good to know
your options in advance.

I have had bad experiences with all-in-one browsers, probably because I
used a very early one. I use separate software for the web, Email and
news. That works for me, probably because I'm used to it.

I down loaded the opera browser, twice, and both times the down loaded
file would not open.
