“Modern is the default theme and it looks and feels
great. I did have a problem with the interface not displaying
correctly the first time, but after exiting and starting the
browser back up, the problem disappeared [note: Everyone at here
MozillaNews use Mozilla nightly builds, and there have been a
number of big XUL changes lately for performance gains, so it’s
highly likely this bug in NS6 is actualyl related to our Mozilla
installs]. For all you boring people like me, you can easily change
the theme to the more conservative classic theme.I visited evey site on my bookmark list and each one worked
flawlessly each time. Netscape has really polished the browser
since the 0.9.4 Mozilla release and seems to have fixed bugs that
were fixed on the trunk while not adding new ones like Mozilla’s
recent problem with the back button on cnn.com. The browser seemed
very responsive and never crashed on me once after 6 hours of
usage. This is due to how the branching process works. This version
of Netscape is based on the Mozilla 0.9.4 tree, which NS takes, and
further stabilizes and fixes before a release. They’ve been working
on this release for over a month in addition to the work leading up
to Mozilla 0.9.4, and they contribute all these fixes back to the
Mozilla tree. See? Open Source works! 🙂…This is the first version of Netscape since 4.7x that I would
recommend to a friend. Prior to this version, I would usually
recommend either the currently Mozilla milestone build or a Mozilla
Nightly build. I think Netscape 6.x has finally arrived at a
commercial quality state. If the quality and features keep
progressing at the current speed, and that is likely considering
the advancments already in the Mozilla nightlies, then Netscape has
a good chance of regaining market share from IE.”
