Netscape has just made a public release of Netscape Browser 8.0 Beta. The browser is based on Mozilla Firefox 1.0 and offers support for both the Gecko (Mozilla) and Internet Explorer rendering engines. I have been playing with this beta for awhile and there are several cool, new features:

• Site Controls allows users to enable and disable features like ActiveX and cookies on a per site basis.
• Multi-Bar allows users to have many screen widgets like map searches, RSS feeds, and weather forecasts.

Now if they would only get rid of that ugly default user interface.
