haha, seriously tho. their new browser doesnt look too bad.. you can choose to render a page as IE would or as firefox would within each tab.

man i gave netscape 6 good years of my life. i aint giving it any more. luckily i can use safari though and explorer is a pile'o'krappe on mac osx so i don't have to find an alternative to a microsoft product.

seems ok. I am all for any standards compliant browsers. Hopefully it will get some more people to upgrade from NN4 or whatever. Having said that, i dont think that it is as good as FF.

I was beginning to think that they stopped making Netscape.
On the Mac, the browser war has nothing to do with IE or Netscape anymore.

I've been playing around with NS8 the last couple of days and it's not too bad at all, I'd use it if was better looking but I can't get any themes to install.

pc only right?

yeah had a look for an osx version but doesn't seem to be one :(
Seeing it uses the IE and Mozillia engines is it possible to see the different ways the browsers display markup? So say the bugs with lists and box model etc?
That would be really interesting?
Also if it catches on that another couple of % off MSIE market share which can only be good.

but netscape was always based on mozilla.
