Well AOL's ownership of Netscape has now become apparent...

I downloaded Netscape 6 PR1, and my impressions are, yuck!!!

Graphic Interface almost cartoonish, with taskbars and other
tools stealing more of the desktop. They also have this very
annoying "sidebar" that pops out on the left side of the browser
window this takes 1/4 of the screen, fortunately you can minimize
it each time it opens.

Ok, more disappointments, from mouse click on icon to the full
screen 25 seconds on my system (Win98SE PC, 333 Mhz, 64 megs RAM)
versus 15 seconds for Netscape 4.72, and get this 5 seconds for
MSIE 5.01. Browser window is smaller, viewing a known site that
has an image 450 pixels high, will just fit a Netscape 4.x screen
and a MSIE screen (small icon, no text lables) Netscape 6 chops
about 1/4" off the image. Issues; I viewed several sites that
looked different in the version 6 vs. Netscape 3x, 4x, and MSIE,
it ignored the <center> tag in some pages, so a page that was
centered ended up left justified. I can't handle some types of
Java applets, it choked on FPhover.  Yet another bookmarked page
that worked fine in all my previous browsers froze it solid, the
only thing that worked was my mouse even the three finger salute
didn't work... I had to hit the reset button.YIKES!!!

Yes I realize it was a Preview (PR1) release but do your self a
favour don't waste your time downloading it, oh ya another big
complaint, they copied MicroSoft with you just download the setup
package and it copies, and moves the files on-line. I prefer to
have a single file like the previous version, so if you need to
reinstall, it will only take a few minutes. Good news is the
uninstall will only take a few minutes!
