It kinda just looks like Chrome forked to change the Google logos to Netscape and thats it.
Perhaps there's extra tracking ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Now you can get tracked by Google and Netscape! It's a 2 for 1 deal!
It's actually owned by AOL, which is owned by Yahoo. So you get tracked by Google, Netscape, AOL, and Yahoo
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.
Didn't Netscape basically become Mozilla?
Yes which makes this even dumber. They could just as easily have launched a Firefox fork.
Firefox is Netscape; this makes no sense and shouldn't exist.
Firefox is a direct fork of Netscape Navigator. (Actual Netscape Navigator, not whatever this is.)
I vaguely recall its last version was an internet explorer skin too. So, 2 steps forward 1 step back?
sauce?
Had to refresh my knowledge of that era.
But it was Netscape version 8 that let users use the Trident engine (internet explorer).

Under use cases.
to render web pages in IE mode
Sounds like a separate mode for compatibility reasons back when websites had that "Best viewed in Internet Explorer" badge
Plus, 8 wasn't the last release either
Sounds like a separate mode for compatibility
Yeah it was, I don't know if they kept the feature in v9. It stopped being relevant a long time before that either way.
I never made a claim to the accuracy.
i was just saying that i don’t think they ever became an ie skin lol
Nope. Seamonkey is what you want.
Looks like just a shitty theme but everything Chrome retained. What a waste.
Sometimes dead is better.
Maybe I should try running it in WINE
I'm surprised I can't find anything about it online.
