That never happened with any Netscape product before. I don't think this is Netscape anymore...it's probably All AOL, which means spyware and adware infesting garbage. I had AOL years ago and I just used their service to gain access to the internet...where I used Netscape. It was a irratation to be having to open their pathetic excuse for a browser just to keep myself online because they had this pain in the ass idle browser program which would log you off if you didn't seem to be using their browser. I wouldn't recommend anyone downloading this product, not after what it did to my machine. I installed it, just to give it a run…and it slowed my machine noticeably.

Gets blocked with some banking sites using javasctipts & high grade encryptation. The pwd manager doesn't work well. Too heavy. Will stay with Firfox & its extensions esp "view in IE" if nécessary.

Netscape 8 offers no plausible advantages over Firefox and will just be bloated, slow and useless to minimalists like myself. Only time will tell, though. Exactly: just stick with Firefox.
