You can tell that AOL owns Netscape.
Taken from the article referenced below,
The new Netscape is based on Firefox, but with a twist - it includes support for switching to Microsoft's IE engine.
Now, I know that many users will find this useful, and it will be useful obviously, but it just doesn't exactly feel right, does it? I won't go into the reasons why, honestly because I can't really put my finger on the exact reason. It's just a gut feeling mostly. But, one main reason Firefox is a success is because it doesn't have the security issues of IE, which this obviously will (though I'm sure there will be more security safeguards).
Screenshots can be found here:
