Netscape 9 coming?

by Antony

Is Netscape still alive? and is Netscape 9 coming?

Over in Netscape.com's The (official) Netscape Blog, Chris Finke announced the upcoming Netscape 9.

Netscape 9 will be a standalone browser, and from this screenshot, you can infer several things: unlike Netscape 8, Netscape 9 will contain 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.

Thanks to SillyDog701 Moderator Fulvio for heads-up. MozInfo701 first reported the coming of Netscape 8 in November 2004. The latest Netscape 8 update (v. 8.1.2) was released in September 2006 with a gap of 8 months to prior update.
