All I have to ask is why Netscape? Why not a more modern browser like Opera or even Mozilla Firefox? Netscape has past its best we should all acept it.

They probably had a deal with AOL.
Also they'd need to get permission off the Opera developers to distribute their software.
Then again, they probably needed permission off AOL, meh.

a poem by my computer, Macintosh Vigilante
Macintosh amends a damned around the requested typewriter. Macintosh urges a scarce design. Macintosh postulates an autobiography. Macintosh tolls the solo variant. Why does a winter audience delay macintosh? The maker tosses macintosh. Beneath female suffers a double scum. How will a rat cube the heavier cricket? Macintosh calls a method. Can macintosh nest opposite the headache? Macintosh ties the wrong fairy. When can macintosh stem the land gang? Female aborts underneath macintosh. Inside macintosh waffles female. Next to macintosh worries a well.

This new netscape uses the firefox rendering engine, and the IE one. This is sort-of a bad thing because people can just switch to IE if it doesn't work, making web designers not care that it doesn't work on firefox.

I'm often asked why I hate Microsoft - "What did they ever do to you?". Well, I'll tell you. They made dodgy programs and standards which have wasted hundreds of hours of my time involving lost work in crashes and stupidity.

A hybrid? That's never a good idea.

Netscape uses IE if you mark a website as "trusted".

Basically, it's perfect for the people who go to websites they do not think is secure, but use Internet Explorer for the websites that that do not infest your PC with spyware.

This is of course bad behaviour, because it's less annoying not to switch between browsers all the time.
And, Firefox is just as good, even better, although I like Opera better.
