Netscape 8.0

I recently gave the new Netscape Browser a spin. I remember Netscape being the browser that everyone used now it's either FF, IE, or Safari. Well to be honest with you I was very surprised on the outcome I had.

First off, there are so many features included with Netscape 8.0, not to the point of bloatware though. Lot's of customizations and really easy, and good to look at interface. On setup, you have the option of using the old type interface or the new stylish interface. I choose the Stylish one.





The UI is wonderful and Easy to use.





Security Center

One of the best additions to Netscape is the Security Center. The security center is a very simple thing, it alerts and scans for phising attacks and know adware on a site a reports it to you. Either by the tab or bottom right of the browser. The security center also features a Malware, Spyware, and Adware scan that works fairly well.

Engines

Netscape allows you to pick which engine you would like to use to display webpages. Either IE or The Mozilla Engine. Which is a great feature.


You can choose which engine you would like to use by clicking on the Firefox Drop-Down menu.


Sidebar

The sidebar has some really cool features including an AIM addon.



Conclusion:

Other than the great UI, the Customizations, and which Browser engine to use the Netscape browser is not up to par. The only reason that I'm not going to be using the Netscape Browser is the aspect of AOL. As you have seen lately that AOL is not doing very well with Security and Privacy Issues, and this Netscape browser was built with AOL as it's the core foundation. But overall if your not to worried about that, it's a solid browser.
