To the persons wondering about a suite: check out seamonkey! New release lately, works *just fine*
To Netscape-skip the ad/spy/spamware in the install, or you'll be laughed at again. And this is coming from someone who actually dropped 40 bucks for your browser a long time ago
How will this differ from Firefox? What is the point of making yet another browser instead of joining forces with Firefox and maybe pre-bundling it with your own theme and extension set? Is there any coordination going on between this project and the Firefox project? Will Firefox extensions work with the Netscape 9 browser? Will it be available for Solaris?
A great article on this: http://www.mozillazine.org/talkback.html?article=20397
Will there be a beta or alpha version available in the future?
Any idea when and where there will be a public release (Alpha/Beta) available?
Netscape is a joke. The site redesign has driven me away. Lack of support for Linux in v8.x was a real blessing since it was such a piece of useless junk compared to Firefox or Konquerer. And, now that my @netscape.net mail has been forced over to an AOL mail account(which I am evaluating whether to finally change it after 7 years or so), I get dumped out to the AOL.COM page instead of netscape, even though I log in to mail.netscape.com. I also found it(and it WASN'T explained) that if I re-login through the AOL page, my address defaults to the @aim.com address that I don't want, didn't ask for, and try to ensure is never used. I've been waiting for AOL to tell us that we are losing the @netscape.net address before too long. Netscape was a great product once. It's went downhill too far to be saved.
- Bloated program versions from v6.x to now
- Countless site redesigns that have gotten worse each time(now it's a useless DIGG clone)
- Integration of the horrible bug ridden IE engine in v8.x(the reason I used Netscape was to avoid the stupidity of using a browser that was PART of the OS. Can we say PROBLEM?????)
- Lack of any clear vision or even reason to use the browser or the site. If it wasn't for my email address I would be long gone.
Anyway, like SpongeBob said: Well, Good Luck with that.
Such a sad waste of resources. We don't need another version of the slow, bloated Netscape suite. We already have Firefox. Just help them make it better.
It's all about efficient use of resources, and this isn't it.
I hope it has the mail program in it and mostly a new look!
The screenshot shown here is horrible! Hope it can use the latest Mozilla Themes...
Oh, and faster, please. I left Netscape 7.2 for SeaMonkey 1.1 which does the
same but faster and has a mail program.
I still use netscape 7.2, but netscape 8 is unstable like hell...
I hope the new one is less like ns8.
Is it a New World Order Push Feed Browser using Advanced Artificial Intelligence MetaData Parse Algorithms? A poisoned arrow to MicroSoft's achilles heel?
The last netscape release ran IE by default ......really
why call it netscape and use firefox code only to set IE engine by default
And then not even release a *nix version of any kind
there already exist a perfectly working firefox , why even do this ?
If anything i would suggest using webkit for the engine and releasing it on all 3
platforms linux, windows and mac ...maybe bsd also
Else this is as big a waste of time as the last release
The viewer is really super, but was useful in order to oneself Polish language if you are intending to win the market back.
I dont believe in Netscape any longer! For they are still not able to release international Versions of Netscape 8 (French, German...)
Shame on you!
Please netscape, I want an ultra slim browser.

I think people should not worry too much as to Netscape 9's compatibility with Windows Vista. Once it's released, there will be an appropriate announcement.
There's the x64 requirement that is also to be met.
