Just dloaded the Mac version of Mozilla and gave it a quick try on this site.

It seems to be a curious blend of NS 4.7, NS 6, and IE. Still need to fool around with it a bit more, but it certainly gives one a different view of things!

Thanx for the suggestion dr.

No problemo for the suggestion.

It seems to be a curious blend of NS 4.7, NS 6, and IE.

Here's the scoop. Netscape took the NS 4.X source code and opensourced it. That was back in 1998 I think. Then most of the code was re-written and became Mozilla. Netscape 6 is based off of Mozilla.

In the end, Mozilla gives us the familar look and feel of Netscape, the speed of IE and the standards compliance of Opera. It's a pretty good package overall. And it's truly cross-platform in the sense that it's available for most platforms.

Anyway, you can read the whole Mozilla history at www.mozilla.org.
