There was some interesting buzz in my last post about the new Netscape browser. Real quick... uses Firefox .9.3 for the base of the browser and, get this, can use the IE render engine if a page is garbled. Check slashdot here for more info. And someone was kind enough to toss up a mirror over here. And to keep it on topic, users suck.

The one in the slashdot comment is dead (wow, that didn't last long), but they have two more buried in there:

Hmm, looks interesting, btu I would be cautious about it, 1) it uses IE activeX controls, which seem to be the route of most security failures within IE, 2) it's now owned by AOL.
If I still used windows I would stick to firefox and Opera for pages that aren't compatible, There doesn't seem to be much that firefox can't cope with though.
