Netscape 8 - Opinions?

[TheAuldGrump]

I have just downloaded the newest Netscape browser. My first reaction is to gaze wildly at the screen to find where everything is, nothing seems to be where I am used to. My second reaction is that it seems cluttered. Hopefully both of thses will go away as I continue using it.

What are other people's reactions to it?

I downloaded it, looked at it and went back to Firefox...still the best and most easy to use browser for me at the moment.

I haven't looked closely at it, but FireFox is doing everything I need right now and not sure what else Netscape would have to offer. Plus didn't they have to patch it within a couple hours of being released for a security flaw?

Yep....

I installed it today just to see (the IE rendering engine caught my interest). Sure enough I could use Windows Update through Netscape. That was pretty nice.

But... I use several extensions in FireFox, Netscape does not have any available yet (though they appear to be coming soon). Also, am I just missing the right click on an ad and choosing block images from site option? I love that option as it can really clean some web pages up.

Back to FireFox again for me, though I will probably keep an eye on Netscape, it looks like they have come a long way.
