    liked netscape until version 6.0, when it suddenly slowed to a crawl.
    Is it any better now?

        It's supposedly based on the Firefox render engine.

          I like it...I normally use IE but always keep a second browser for certain capabilities (like the advanced download manager, tabs, etc.)

          The way I see it, this release brings all the features of Firefox with some added visual goodness

            It's actually pretty nice so far. I'm not fond of the color scheme but the functionality is great.

              AOL needs to hire some decent interface designers, because they obviously are lacking in that department.

              Nice to see some decent features being added to enhance the user experience though.

                  The IE engine included in it is also helpful, finally there's an alternative browser that won't have any problems displaying pages made only for IE

                    It does not look to bad for a new browser, has some things that I thought if only mozilla did that.
                    A lot more easyb to navigate than these new forums
                    Everything I say is true apart from that which is not

                      Bloated Firefox and looks ugly. Doesn't really bring anything new to the table.
                      Won't revive Netscape to be honest.
