Blast from the Past


Netscape browser attempts a comeback
By ANICK JESDANUN


NEW YORK (AP) -- The once-mighty Netscape browser is attempting a comeback.


How, you ask? Simple. By combining the best elements of its two leading rivals.


Netscape is out with a test release of version 8.0, and the new browser is nothing like its recent predecessors, which were mostly about fixing bugs and playing catch-up.


I used Netscape before it fell behind IE and stopped being a reasonable choice, so I fondly read this article and gave them a silent "Go get 'em!". But I'm a Firefox man now. You should be too.
