Netscape 6 PR1 Review -- 10:49 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

PC Week has put up a review of Netscape 6 PR1. They give it a mostly favorable review. One comment that they make that I don't understand is that there is less screen real estate than previous versions. Haven't they figured out how to turn off the "My Sidebar" panel? Thanks Linux Today.

My top reasons to use Netscape 6/Mozilla:

It's smaller, thus less bloat (about a third of the size of an equivalent IE install)
It's portable: the Mac, Win32, and Linux versions are almost identical
It's open source: no more hiding "features" and worthless code
It's standards-compliant. 'Nuff said.
It's not tied so tightly to my OS that when the browser crashes, it takes my computer with it (hello, IE!)

It's a little unstable for full-time use right now, but once it is out of beta (or even alpha for that matter), Mozilla will be my full-time browser. I suggest you do the same.
