Netscape/Mozilla is an "all in one" if that's what you want but both are based around the same source

Here's one I really like. http://www.maxthon.com/ Some people have mentioned some pages not loading right with Mozilla, but this IE based program does good for me, and yet still has ad blockers and other filters.

Here is a little information from the site:

Maxthon Internet Browser software is a powerful tabbed browser with a highly customizable interface. It is based on the Internet Explorer browser engine (your most likely current web browser) which means that what works in the IE browser will work the same in Maxthon tabbed browser but with many additional efficient features like...

Tabbed Browsing Interface
Mouse Gestures
Super Drag&Drop
Privacy Protection
AD Hunter
RSS Reader
IE Extensions Support
External Utility Bar
Skinning
And Much More to Explore...

Cam,
That's nice, but you aren't answering AMD's original questions at the start of this thread. He was asking about Netscape.

Why would you want to use anything based on IE. It's like letting a wolf in sheeps clothing into your hen house. IE is UNSAFE at any speed. If you use it for anything more than the Windows update you are rsking your PC.

It may be worth having something that's IE based installed, though, as I have been told some web pages won't load in Mozilla / Netscape, as I mentioned above. Just in case you really want to view the page, because in my experience, regular IE is VERY unstable. Though some people refuse to try anything else, for some odd reason!

There should be no difference in the stability of IE or an app using IE engine. Regular IE6sp1 is not unstable; it is just, as with all earlier versions, full of security holes; holes particularly created by the use of ActiveX controls.

I can't explain why, but pretty much any IE browser shell seems to be MUCH more stable than IE on my computer. And this one works the best of all I've tried so far. Had one version or another installed for well over a year [used to be called MYIE]. And this is SUPPOSED to be more secure than regular IE. But to try and answer AMD's question: Other than what I mentioned, haven't heard any complaints. For the security reasons alone, it's at least worth a try.
