AOL lays off Netscape browser team

[Tomas]

Netscape was just a more bloated version of mozilla anyways, lacking some features...

And i hate AOL btw  ;-)
A company that is supposed to make an alternative browser to microsofts IE.. Though their lousy ISP client works only on windoze pcs.... sigh...

IT had to happen still mozzila will go on and it might even get as good as opera one day.

I think its allready past opera... not in speed but in functionality. Opera seems to still have some problems  with rendering some sites... though they even are fully compitable with the standard.. It is much faster though.

Anyone want to convince Opera to port it to AmigaOS 4.0?

There was actually a plan to port it to AmigaOS once.. But when they figured out that the userbase wasnt that big afterall and AmigaINC going down the drain under management of gateway.... Dunno if that is the reason.. but they suddently changed their mind and stated that no port would be done due to lack of userbase...

I've looked at installing Mozilla, but much as wilh Linux as an OS, it looks more like a browser for programmers/hackers/uber tech-heads than ordinary users.

um.. It looks exactly like netscape  :-P Just that mozilla has a few more features..  Netscape is entirely based on on Mozilla...
