Netscape Browser 8.0

Anyone tried out the new Nutscrape 8.0 yet? How did you find it?

it takes some getting used to, but it has a faster, more modern feel to it than Firefox 1.x, I like this version, very good piece of software

This is not the launch that Netscape were really wanting or did they purposely release this version knowing it was buggy?

THE LATEST version of Netscape, which is being peddled as more secure than IE, was shipped with serious and known security bugs.
The latest version of Netscape 8, which was released late yesterday, is being marketed by Netscape as having the security advantages of Firefox, with the ease of use of IE. However the new Netscape is built on an earlier version of Mozzarella’s Firefox browser that was changed after the security outfit Secunia found two "extremely critical" bugs in it.

I still like it
they just need to fix those bugs

Yeah, it's okay. One of the bugs which really annoys me is the 'return to previous page' arrow doesn't work sometimes. Minor annoyance but you know there are little bugs. Should have waited a bit longer to switch. Faster with more features though.

I prefer Firefox too though my system doesn't. It seems to eat all the CPU more than IE does. I will have another go at fixing it once I'm off this darn dial-up!

From what I've heard this is either the web developer's best friend OR worst enemy... I'll have to check it out and see
