Thanks to Keith Furman for the tip: NeoPlanet has released a technologypreview of their upcoming NeoPlanet 5.0 Web browser, which will allow usersto dynamically switch between the Internet Explorer display engine and the"Gecko" engine used in the upcoming Netscape Communicator 5.0 Web browser,code-named Mozilla. This release represents the first decent example of aMozilla browser, but it also vividly demonstrates how far behind thetechnology is. The Mozilla engine currently displays pages slowly and poorlyand often just fails completely. Still, if you're interested in ableeding-edge look at the future, this might fit the bill.
