Revenge of the Netscape

Netscape 8.0 is out. I like the look of it. It is firefox and IE(both in one). From Reuters article, "Netscape 8.0 automatically switches security settings, and the browser it uses, based on whether a site is a known and trusted site or an unknown site."
If a site is on the white list, it opens with IE(since ie isn't very secure) whereas if a site is on the black list, it will display a warning and will require permission from the user to access it. If its not on the white/black list, it opens it using firefox which is much more secure than IE. Try it out. Make sure u dont install any of the additional software(uncheck the option when it asks during installation).

UPDATE: Not so secure. According to the chief of Firefox Ben Goodman, "Users of the Netscape 8 browser can click here to verify that their browser exhibits the Cross Site Scripting flaw that was fixed for Firefox 1.0.4. "

UPDATE2: CNet has a comparison of 6 web browsers(IE, Firefox, Netscape, Opera, Safari and Deepnet Explorer. Netscape came in 2nd behind Firefox. I think thats preety good since they just released it yesterday.
