They still make Netscape?



EDIT:

Quote:
Based on Firefox, the Netscape Browser options and interface are similar, but brought to a superior level of accessibilty by filling some of the Firefox gaps, such as tabbed browsing, context menus and menu bars.
Um, what improvements now?

Using it now. Not half bad at all.

A few aspects of the BETA do show through, like typing lag sometimes, but overall performance is noticeably better than Firefox in some areas like tabs, page loading, switching, general stuff that we can be appreciative of.

I can't wait for Firefox 3!!!

I assume there's no extensions... I wouldn't be able to stand FF without FoxyTunes... :)

I personally could live without FoxyTunes. But some of the FF themes are just awesome.
