Netscape 8.0 - BETA

Netscape Browser provides more security options, streamlines more standard browsing tasks and arms internet users with more timesaving solutions to their browsing needs than any other browser. Netscape Browser includes two separate layout engines, so you can choose to view a web site like Netscape Browser or like Internet Explorer. Tabbed browsing is included, along with advanced privacy features. You can also set Netscape Browser to block popups, cookies, images, java, and other behaviors that you would rather not allow. Also, you can easily over-ride and save custom settings for individual web-sites.

The deficiencies noted in Firefox 1.0 are inherited in Netscape 8 Beta in most cases. Patches to the Firefox code base will be imported into Netscape 8 Beta as they become available and are tested for compatibility

Anyone willing to try this?

I remember using Netscape years ago and being better than IE...

That's the point of FireFox. It's essentially the same browser (Mozilla), but FireFox is stripped down to the core, really for power users, and you can add stuff that you want later. Netscape comes with all the bells and whistles installed already. FireFox is also more secure, just for that reason. Not much going on there, so not too many ways to hack into it.
