- verandaguy 4y agoI don't know if I'm more surprised by this quirk of DNS (as in, domains of the form <TLD><dot>) working, or more impressed that someone's still got a readily-available Netscape install to test it out.
- humanistbot 4y agoThis is one of the reasons I love HN.
- nullfield 4y agoIt's not at all a quirk of DNS. Or I spent too much time reading O'Reilly's "DNS and BIND" and everyone else thinks "no, that's not the root-root zone, that's a quirk".
- dvfjsdhgfv 4y agoHow do you deal with constant SSL error messages? I tried to use Netscape for a while, it was a pleasant experience except the fact that most websites are HTTPS now and Netscape wasn't able to handle recent versions.
- spiffytech 4y agoI'll bet it'd work if you used an HTTP proxy that the downgraded the modern protocols and encodings. Though for general purpose browsing, the modern stuff like HTML5 / CSS3 / ES6+ would make it somewhere between unusable and nonfunctional.
- forgotmypw17 4y agoI only browse HTTP websites with Netscape, mostly my own.
