A. Currently, it is only available for Mac OS X in preview format - which means that it is not in its final format and Netscape welcome any feedback you can give if you choose to test it - but if anything goes wrong it does not offer any technical back up, so be wary if you choose to be a guinea pig. It is however, available for Mac OS 8.6 and later and Mac OS 9.

A. It is an online editor that lets you create your own web pages or documents. You do not have to know HTML to use it, but it gives the effect of having a page developed using HTML. You can import tables, images, links to other pages etc. and it has a guide to help you use it.

(a) Cookie managers: that allow you to choose which sites can set cookies and which sites to block. You can also view any cookies on your computer and delete any you choose to.

(b) Cookie alerts: you can choose to be alerted when a site you enter tries to set up a cookie, and you can choose to accept or block them

(c) Password manager: this programme enables Netscape to remember your passwords and username for many different sites - and automatically fill them in when you return to a site, which means you don't have to remember them all if you have a few.

(d) Master Password - this function protects your security if your computer is used by anyone else. It means that if someone enters a site that you use e.g. Amazon they will not automatically have access to your account etc. It also encrypts local passwords and Form Manager data for additional privacy.

Q. Can you change the way your Netscape home page looks

A. Yes, this new version has lots of themes you can choose to make up the look of your home page. These include: Sky Pilot, Orbit, Golf, Modern and Early Blue- but you'll have to look at them on screen to see how they differ from each other and how it effects the overall look of your page.

Q. Where would I get the new software from

A. You can download it online from www.netscape.com Chrysler rb1 navigation disc download.

Netscape Navigator Editor's Review

Many people have heard or used Netscape Browser. This browser was first developed by the Netscape Communications Corporation, which doesn't exist anymore. Netscape Browser is now developed by AOL. The version I tested asked me during setup whether I wanted to use the Internet Explorer rendering engine automatically. At first I didn't realize what this means, but I searched a bit, and found some disturbing info. The fact that Netscape Browser uses both the Internet Explorer and the Mozilla Firefox engine theoretically means that it's more vulnerable to bugs than either Firefox or IE on their own.

Netscape 6.0 Free Download

This version of the Netscape Browser includes protection against ID theft and spyware. It also features popup blocking and an automated rating system that verifies whether the site you are visiting is trusted. It's true that many sites display the 'Not Verified' rating. All these features can be accessed by opening the Security Center window of the browser.
Similarities to Firefox are visible everywhere in the program. For example, the main menu is structured just like Mozilla Firefox's menu. However, there are some improvements in terms of appearance and usability. The main browser toolbar is called Multibar offering the option to change the items it displays with a few clicks. In addition, the tabbed browsing experience is enhanced. Each tab has two small buttons. One is used to close the tab, while the other can be used to access the Site Control dialog. This dialog offers the option to change the rendering engine, to adjust the trust settings, and to modify other advanced properties (JavaScript, cookies, java, etc) of the current site.
Pluses: Site ratings and blacklists are automatically downloaded from Netscape's website.

Netscape 6 Browser

Drawbacks / flaws: A standard based website will generally render better using the Gecko (Firefox) engine, thanks to its better standards support. However, the browser renders trusted pages using IE's engine.
In conclusion: Only a few people use Netscape now. I feel that it's time for Netscape to make a move, because Firefox is now at version 2 and Microsoft released IE 7. Although I consider Netscape to be better looking than IE or Firefox, I won't use Netscape because of the rumors concerning its security flaws.
