One patch I'd pay money to have is one which intercept the "commercials" Netscape blasts out at us and replace them with something else (maybe nothing, maybe a "quote for the day," maybe something from a user-selectable file of items).
I understand that Netscape is collecting money for these "commercials," and that they control what is sent out. So, any such patch to intercept/remove these commercials would have to be done locally. Can this be done?
You can fix this from the browser. Pull down the 'Options' menu, grab the 'Window and Link styles' page, and change the default "home page location" from netscape's to whatever you want. I usually use my own home page. I never look at Netscape's pages unless I specifically want to see something like SSL specs. If there wasn't a way to turn off their home page I'd be pretty pissed off. The descripton above is from the 1.1 browser; the 2.0x ones are fairly similar. -- Eric Murray ericm@lne.com ericm@motorcycle.com http://www.lne.com/ericm Redistribution of this message without the author's permission is forbidden!
