Netscape 9.0 Teaser

Netscape Blog:

What you are looking at is a draft of the main toolbar of Netscape 9.0, running on Windows XP.

Netscape 9 will be a standalone browser, and from this screenshot, you can infer several things: unlike Netscape 8, Netscape 9 will contain more standardized support for newsfeeds (a.k.a. Live Bookmarks); it will also have tight integration with the Netscape.com service, as evidenced by the icons for the two available Netscape.com extensions (Friends' Activity Sidebar and the Sitemail Notifier). Several Netscape.com-based extensions will be built into the browser; only these two have been previously announced.

A few comments.

Netscape is still around?

Does anyone actually care that they're still releasing browsers? Netscape 8 was a disaster by any measure.

Others are reporting that Netscape 9 will be developed in-house, unlike Netscape 8, which was outsourced.

It's due "in the next month or two."

Curious.
