Edit: seems they took out the AIM integration. Now there is absolutly no reason to use it.
December 1, 2004 at 2:47 am #106807Hurricane22491MemberI agree with Someguy. It just looks horrible. I’d much rather just use Firefox.
December 1, 2004 at 3:15 am #106803CharlesMemberWhile 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”.
March 3, 2005 at 9:35 pm #106808syntaxMemberPreviously, 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

March 4, 2005 at 5:57 am #106806EEDOKMemberIt’s sad indeed, since Netscape was bought out by AOL, it pretty much showed the end of decent quality commercial products from them. Thank god they started the mozilla foundation at the same time.
