Netscape 8.0 Released

Mr. Christmas Lights writes "CNet is reporting that Netscape Navigator Version 8 has been released. The 8.0 Beta debuted back in March, with the final version being based on Firefox 1.03, and includes Trust Rating, a feature which identifies sites as safe or unsafe. Netscape 8.0 also includes a toggle which allows switching between Mozilla and Microsoft's rendering engines as needed. The Main Netscape 8 page has more info, and the 'Download Now' page is already serving up the new browser."

...help to sustain the mofo (mozilla foundation)

Is that what the Mozilla Foundation calls themselves? If so, that's hilarious! : p

Re:No Mac or Linux?

[genommen]

Yes it would be nice to have a linux version available. They have trust rating but only support an untrustworthy OS go figure.

Adverts... Everywhere!

Help! Where's the add remover? Is this really what the internet looks like without Adblock? Quick, back to firefox... that was scarey.

Certainly not a false statement or anything but I thought the use of the phrase "mostly secure" was pretty funny. :-)

It's safe against those "mostly harmless" attacks. ;-)

If a site is considered trustworthy, Netscape automatically renders it using the Internet Explorer method, for maximum compatability.

This in fact logical: only trusted sites should be visited with a browser as unsafe as IE.
