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?

    Oh, I'm Sorry, I didnt know *I* was at a tree huggers convention. Thought this was /. I assume you think books are evil also? But the sound of "Evil Bastard", I could get used to that. Thanks.

    I was just being silly honestly, didn't expect it to get modded up. Geez what are moderators drinking nowadays. Anyways I use firefox as my main browser and it is great. The new interface just has too much. Yes I can customize it, but untill I can get rid of the multibar, chance the colors, and have just one centralized tab close button. I'm sticking with firefox.

    Actualy they renamed Netscape to Mozilla, then hacked up the code and and called it Firefox.
