Firefox 2.0 vs. Netscape 9.0 and Faster Alternatives

Tue, Nov 27, 2007, by Cyrus Jones

Browsers

Firefox 2.0 and Netscape 9.0 are almost identical browsers. Faster alternatives to these browsers include K-Meleon (Windows) and SeaMonkey (multiplatform).

Mozilla Firefox 2.0 and Netscape 9.0 are virtually identical (including source code) except for Netscape’s theme (packaged for Firefox at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4784 ) and integration of Propeller.com, a social-news site (available as the Firefox addons https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4033 and https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4034).

Bottom line: There is practically no difference.

But if you want a fast browser, then you should look at the following options.

K-Meleon

SeaMonkey

And always remember about skins and themes. K-Meleon skins are avaliable here

while here is a link to Seamonkey.
