Dino! -- "Dino! (pronouced dino!) is a web browser based on Mozilla with extra attention paid to its usability for the masses. We are concerned that the current Mozilla developers are ignoring the usability aspect of the browser. Initially, we will pursue usability issues, such as bookmark access and toolbar sizing. After this is done, we will continue to work towards totally user-friendly, 100% customisation of the Mozilla browser." (Comments: Thanks Gabriel.)

Perhaps I'm a little too experienced with browsing, but I think the new Mozilla is one of the best for usability? [Ducking]

It has a lot of features kind of buried in menu's, but I think I've at least tried 50% of the features, and would definitely use 40% of them. IE might have an edge due to simplicity, but some of the features make browsing so much easier.
(E.g. control over what sites are allowed to do to your windows, and whether you allow images from 3rd party servers etc.)

The only thing that has bugged me is the chat thingy, I couldn't make any sense of what you do with it!

It will be interesting to see what changes Dino make. I'll get some Newbie-surfers to use Mozilla and see how they get on ;)
