XUL is the technology behind Mozillas interface. The technologies that make Mozilla so customizable range from the well-known, such as JavaScript and Cascading Style Sheets, to the less well-known, such as XUL (XML User Interface Language) and XPCOM (Cross Platform Component Object Model). The most impressive thing about the browser is its code, which makes fantastic use of XML and other standard technologies to create the most extensible browser weve seen. Short of users who love IM (instant messaging) integration, we cant think of any reason to recommend Netscape over Mozilla. We also appreciated the absence of the AOL product and link overhead that weigh down current Netscape browsers.

In eWeek Labs tests of Mozilla 1.0, which was released last week and is available free at we were impressed with almost all aspects of the browser, from its user configuration options to its usability features to its excellent mail client. The much-anticipated open-source browser has left the long road of beta testing and is finally ready for regular use, providing not only an easy-to-use and powerful browser but also a highly extensible Web platform.
