Netscape 6 is door 'The Web Standards Project' uitgeroepen tot beste browser op het gebied van standaard-ondersteuning. Zo kan Netscape 6 omgaan met HTML 4, XML 1.0, CSS-1, DOM Level 1, ECMAScript en de belangrijkste componenten van CSS-2. Toch is nog niet alles perfect volgens de experts, aangezien er een hoop bugs in de browser zitten:
The Web Standards Project (WaSP) today applauded Netscape for producing the most standards-compliant browser the Web has yet seen. Based on the open source Mozilla project, Netscape 6 exceeds all previous browsers, including Netscape’s own, in the scope of its support for W3C and other Web standards. The new Netscape browser supports HTML 4, XML 1.0, CSS-1, DOM Level 1, and ECMAScript (the standard successor to Netscape’s JavaScript), as well as key parts of CSS-2.
Champeon pointed out that the new browser is not perfect. "There are some bugs. We hope Netscape can fix them with help from the Mozilla Project, whose open source browser is relatively free of the real-world pressure that drove the release of Netscape 6." The WaSP looks forward to Netscape’s taking the browser to the next level.
