New Netscape Browser Prototype Available

Posted by Hemos on from the joining-us-here-in-the-present dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Mozillazine.org writes, "AOL has released a new prototype of Netscape Browser. This new version is almost identical to the first prototype but it's based on Mozilla Firefox 1.0 rather than 0.9.3. The browser does not contain the proposed new design concept or any new features, though there are some performance improvements. As before, only registered testers can download the prototype from community.netscape.com/nscpbrowser. MozillaZine ran an in-depth preview of the first prototype.""

    You know it's comments like that, that just prove your a complete moron. Why not think about what your going to post next and then don't post at all.

  2. Switch beteen MSHTML and Geeko by nileshbansal · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Does this new prototype also allow switching beetween MSHTML and Geeko. If yes, is there any incentive for user (who dont know benefits of Geeko over MSHTML) to use Geeko, like, one of the following
    1. Netscape will always start in Geeko mode by default.
    2. When running in MSHTML mode, it will display some (pop-up) message saying please switch to Geeko as that is more secure
    3. .....
    Or it does not care what html-rendering-engine user is using as long as the browser is Netscape.
