The New Netscape

The guys at Netscape released a preview of their latest browser, which is simply called Netscape Browser Preview. The browser sports a new, bloated look with too many buttons and clutter. I cleaned it up a bit, but I was still not a fan of it. I understand this is a preview, and I hope they are not done working on the skin

But here is the big kicker. The Netscape browser is built on top of Firefox 0.9.3. I hear the final version will be built on top of 1.0. So basically you’re using a Netscape branded Firefox…sort of like the HP iPod…sort of.

I forgot to add that you can switch between the Gecko Rendering Engine (Firefox) or Internet Explorer's
