Peeking at Netscape 8

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the under-da-hood dept.

Andrew Sayers writes "It seems like Netscape 8 has hit blogland, with generally positive review at blogspot.com - although it makes the point that the IE rendering mode could hurt Firefox in the long-run, because it gives sites an excuse to stick with their old IE-only designs." Ah, remember when the release of a Netscape mattered?

    Ah, remember when the release of a Netscape mattered?

    For me, it went something like this:

    Netscape 1.0: Hey, cool! This World Wide Web thing is awesome!

    Netscape 2.0: Backgrounds! Word!

    Netscape 3.0: Different fonts, better frames, more plug-ins... keep it coming!

    Netscape 4.0: Why won't these links work? *click click click click* Grrrr...

    Netscape 6.0: Oh God.

    Netscape 7.0: Whatever, I'm using IE now.

    Netscape 8.0: Whatever, I'm using Firefox now.
