It kinda just looks like Chrome forked to change the Google logos to Netscape and thats it.

Perhaps there's extra tracking ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

That's almost every chromium browser out there, most don't even bother to change the skin and user interface from the chromium default.

How is it that so many companies can literally skin another company and wear its skin as a bodysuit and we do not collectively recoil in psychological horror?

How are so many people germane to this concept?

This is invasion of the body snatchers but for companies that determine the livelihood of essentially every human being on the planet. It's fucking terrifying.

AOL is so stupid that they didn't have the guts to use Firefox as a base.

[-] kittenzrulz123 52 points 10 months ago

Didn't Netscape basically become Mozilla?

[-] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 31 points 10 months ago

Yes which makes this even dumber. They could just as easily have launched a Firefox fork.

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 45 points 10 months ago

Firefox is Netscape; this makes no sense and shouldn't exist.

[-] hperrin@lemmy.world 29 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Firefox is a direct fork of Netscape Navigator. (Actual Netscape Navigator, not whatever this is.)

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 8 points 10 months ago

Nope. Seamonkey is what you want.

Looks like just a shitty theme but everything Chrome retained. What a waste.

Sorry, I already annihilated the VM.

Sometimes dead is better.

[-] daggermoon@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Maybe I should try running it in WINE

[-] daggermoon@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I'm surprised I can't find anything about it online.
