AOL has released a new prototype of Netscape Browser. This new version is almost identical to the first prototype but it's based on Mozilla Firefox 1.0 rather than 0.9.3.

The browser does not contain the proposed new design concept or any new features, though there are some performance improvements.

Based on Firefox, the Netscape Browser options and interface are similar, but brought to a superior level of accessibilty by filling some of the Firefox gaps, such as tabbed browsing, context menus and menu bars.

Well, it's the business world, everyone takes other people's ideas to make their products better. It is kind of cheap, though, in my opinion.

yeah, i saw this on /. is aol allowed to do this? i thought firefox was open source, so how can they take the code and make their own browser?

that's like claiming firefox is aol's property. so now all the netscape broswer versions will be the same thing as firefox, right? since they are going to just change the code and make their own browser.. sad.gif
