- Site Controls
- Multi-Bar
- Form Fill/Passcard

It’s ugly in my opinion. Who wants to use a ugly browser? I notice how it integrates AIM into itself. If the browser wasn’t complete crap, that would be the one reason I would use it over any other.
Edit: seems they took out the AIM integration. Now there is absolutly no reason to use it.
While it is ugly, it has an interesting feature. It has what appears to be the beginning of Gecko/IE integration which could theoretically allow for Windows Update to be run in Netscape, and other ActiveX “features”.
Previously, Netscape had a private release of their Netscape Browser on their forums. Now, they have released the public beta of the software. Links and info have been updated on the first post
The new Netscape browser is just Mozzila Firefox with a more ugly and bloated interface (literally).
