I voted FireFox but only because that is what I use. To be honest I have never tried Netscape.

There's a long history there. Essentially, Netscape went open source, with Mozilla building it's own suite. Later, after being bought by AOL, Netscape gave up the browser thing and gave the Mozilla Foundation a bunch of money and all of its source code. At which point, the Mozilla foundation created the 'Gecko' engine to power their software. It's in newer versions of Mozilla Suite and has been part of the Firefox code base since the beginning.

wow...alot more than i knew...well aol is ghey...and firefox is the best...but i am pondering switching too many ppl are using it and its become mainstream so popups and such are targeting it...i prefer to use a browser that not many ppl use and you seem to fly under the radar...i rember firefox back in its firebird days when ppl didnt know about it...good times.
