Version: Netscape Navigator 9.0b1
Pros: Finally, a "Netscape" browser thats fast, stable and easy to get along with. New add one and plug ins are coming all the time. Some "Firefox" add ons work with it. It has customizable tool bars and looks nice. Imported my favorites and home page from "Internet Explorer. It has a built in history cleaner. And because it's still based on "Firefox" I feel comfortable that it's a secure browser. This version of "Netscape" is the biggest step forward they have ever made.
Cons: I couldn't find a way to import my "Firefox" favorites and those are the ones I use most.

"By far the best Netscape browser..."
Pros: In many ways, this is like a faster, lighter Firefox, without, as far as I can see, the memory leaks. Delightful to look at, easy to use, and appears to be fully compatible with Firefox extensions (except the UK English dictionary for some odd reason) and search engine plugins.
Cons: Only one (very nice) theme available so far. Lots of Netscape specific bells and whistles - though they're easy enough to ignore, and the toolbar is fully customisable.

"In my eyes, better than FireFox"
Pros: Netscape does have some things away from FireFox, like the menus, it all looks the same like Mozilla Firefox.
For my feeling, netscape loads as quick as firefox, but more secure.
I've tested it on a website i know it was dangerous, but Mcafee blocks it.
So, i surfed to it with FireFox, and it tried me to download a virus.
But, Netscape didn't, i didn't noticed anything with Netscape. Netscape may be slower than FireFox, but it's more secure for my feelings.

5 stars
Version: Netscape Navigator 9.0b1
Pros: It's been one of my top choices since the birth of Internet. You know, Netscape was the first EVER Web Browser realeased to the public(the rest were speacial like goverment). It helped the baby Internet develop a lot, being compatible with many web standards. And it so is now. It is the ONLY browser(I have used loads) that actually uses both the Firefox(Gecko) and Internet Explorer(Trident) layout engines, so is very compatible with almost all of the web pages. Its compability passes Internet Explorer's and Opera's compability(the big bonus). It is not very big ans has a very user friendly installation. It all comes for 6MBs.
Cons: It is not very fast when browsing the internet with Firefox Plug-Ins, and sadly, not a replacement for Opera, except you like its FANTASTIC compability with web pages.
