It was senseless (sinnlos in German) to create a new version of Netscape

I'm tired of web browsers. The unique that follows rules well is Opera! But there are some functions like ad-blocking that I can't use since Opera does not support firefox addons (obviously).

someone should just make a browser with the best of the other browsers in it.

I think its pretty cool that they are going to offer all of the old versions for nostalgic reasons.
