No way, Netscape (at leats used to, before AOL took over) comply with RFC's,
IE doesn't and accepts anything you throw at it, which is part of most of
the problems you see with IE. It's one of the worst out of the browsers,
though they all do mostly seem to suck and suffer from the same problems.
Netscape (at least used to) has far, far less issues and much less severe in
regards to the level of the exploit (at least, used to).
