NS6 & Moz

From Opera's Site:

While Netscape 6 is a great leap forward in standards compliance relative to the Netscape 4 series, Mozilla is better.

That's not possible, isn't it? How can it be if NS6 and Moz both is based on Gecko? And why is Opera praising Mozilla? Suspicious. Maybe to make NS look bad.

I think they need to hire some new spin doctors, that's terrible!

The statement above is of course relative to this statement (from the same page): "Opera tries, to some extent, to replicate the errors in browsers from Netscape and Microsoft, but we prioritize implementing the [W3C's] specificaions." So Opera is designed to be mostly compliant to W3C but also to Netscape and Microsoft. Hmmm? "Slow" development of KM but done right vs. Opera (and others) with varied interpretations of web page rendering. Where would you like to go today? I'm going KM.

Yes and they also praise IE 6 at some point.

Netscape 6 used an older version of Mozilla so if they are saying Mozilla 1.0 is better than Netscape 6, that technically would be true. If they compare Netscape 7 to Mozilla, then it would probably not be true.

Maybe, but by the time Netscape v7 final is out, Mozilla will probably be at v1.1 or v1.2, whereas NS7 will be using v1.0. Netscape in that respect will always be behind the eight-ball.
