Today, I downloaded the latest version of Netscape Navigator, after a talk with Tom Scott in an attempt to check out the site and make sure everything looked smooth in the browser. To my surprise it looked and felt exactly like firefox. I kept an eye on the memory stamp as I used it and even more to my surprise it stayed under 60,000 kb as I used it. Everything else about it seemed to feel exactly like Firefox, including their render engine which worked nicely and smooth since it was balancing memory well...

This kinda makes me wonder when Mozilla will get around to fixing their memory issues. I know they are not considered \"leaks\" but there is definitely something going on. My FF memory stamp gets up to around 450,000kb on a normal browsing session.

I guess I also have to keep in mind that there are no plugins within Netscape Navigator, which is probably why it feels so light. Either way they certainly improved the browser incredibly, and they totally ripped Firefoxs interface.

Anyway, if you want to give it a try you can head over to http://browser.netscape.com/

Have a great day!
