I'm stunned at the tech news today: Netscape announced they're no longer in the browser business.
Netscape 6 was far delayed, granted. It's a fantastic browser, albeit one that hogs mondo RAM to run. They set-up entire sections of their site for it too; Sidebar Central and Theme Park.
It's also more Standards-compliant; as a Website designer, knowing a Website would appear as designed would be a tremendous plus.
Netscape was the first browser I ever used to surf the Web. MSIE is a good browser, but a) it is a Microsoft product, which seems a synonym for a product being buggy and full of security holes, and b) they are a company that has ever to follow the Standards rules 100%, which is why we have to design multiple versions of sites.
Now they won't have any real competition; Opera is nowhere near that level, so I just hope someone comes along to compete soon.
