AOL has released a new of Netscape Browser - Speed, Flexibility and More Security Choices Than Any Other Browser. Based on Firefox, the Netscape Browser options and interface are similar, but brought to a superior level of accessibilty by filling some of the Firefox gaps, such as tabbed browsing, context menus and menu bars. The new Netscape Browser test build runs on two different browsing engines: the Mozilla Foundation's Gecko engine, which powers up the Mozilla, Firefox and older Netscape browsers, and Microsoft's Internet Explorer engine.

Netscape began by trying to make an Internet that users found easy to use. Today we offer integrations of intuitive digital tools, innovative attractions and infinite media content. The revolutionary new Netscape Browser 8 provides more security options, streamlines more standard browsing tasks and arms internet users with more timesaving solutions to their browsing needs.

The New Netscape Browser Features:
• Security Center. Quickly view the status of security protection provided by the Netscape Browser. The browser will automatically let you know when there is a problem.
• Spyware & Adware Protection. The Netscape Browser provides real time Spyware scanning when you download files from the web. You may also run memory and disk scans for Spyware protection and prevention.
• Real-Time Feeds. The Netscape Browser takes the mystery out of Real Simple Syndication (RSS) and allows you to read and manage RSS feeds without the need of a separate news reader application.
• Profiles. Create more than one profile to keep your bookmarks and passcards safe from other users. If you have a family, create a profile for your children and make use of the parental controls feature.
• Tabbed Browsing. Tabbed browsing lets you have multiple web pages open in one window. This feature is great for organizing and freeing up desktop space because it files your web pages in a series of tabs.
• Site Controls. The new Netscape Browser gives you more ways to make your browser secure.
• MultiBar. MultiBars let you customize up to ten different browser toolbars you can access with a single click.
• Form Fill/Passcard. The Netscape Browser makes remembering your site passwords and filling out information forms on site simple.
• Live Content. With Live Content you have one-click access to information important to you.

Installation may include Netscape 8.1.2 Browser, Netscape ISP, Rhapsody, Real Arcade and WeatherBug.

Changes in Netscape Browser 8.1:
• Anti-Spyware Protection
• Dynamic Security Center
• Profile Manager
• Enhanced RSS support
• New Options panel

• Tabbed browsing enhancements
• UI enhancements
• Performance improvements

Before this, i never think netscape will convince me to use it.... but after i install, I'm impressed with the features and the interface layout... Its really worth a try!

yup, the interface improve a lot now.

The problem is , the installation includes the Anti-Spyware Protection and Dynamic Security Center crash or have conflict with the Norton Security.
I can't install it.No choice to exclude them.There is also no lite version without those protection

Currently using it and satisfied with it, I am considering making it my default browser.

try sum other antivirus as norton is very memory eater not efficient as kapersky & avast.

thanks , but i feel norton firewall is quite effcient and easy handle.Any good firewall recommand? sorry off topic

sygate firewall very stable & freeware too.

how bout memory usage?? better than firefox?

.....
I thought FF has tabs???
IE7 is good enough for me

60k on memory and 117k on VM.

Just a question, anyone here knows I can disable the "switch to the new tab when I open a link in a new tab" feature?

I just cant find the right option to it, or I might have overlooked certain options?

Netscape Navigator 9.0 Beta 3 for Windows
AOL has released a new of Netscape Navigator - Speed, Flexibility and More Security Choices Than Any Other Browser. Based on Firefox, the Netscape Browser options and interface are similar, but brought to a superior level of accessibilty by filling some of the Firefox gaps, such as tabbed browsing, context menus and menu bars. The new Netscape Browser test build runs on two different browsing engines: the Mozilla Foundation's Gecko engine, which powers up the Mozilla, Firefox and older Netscape browsers, and Microsoft's Internet Explorer engine.

Since Navigator 9 is based on the newest Mozilla (R) technologies, there are additional features in Navigator 9 that were not available in Netscape Browser 8.x. You can read about those new features in these release notes from Mozilla.
Netscape Navigator 9.0 is a browser-only release. It does not contain an e-mail client, newsgroup reader, or HTML composer.

The following features are new and unique to Netscape Navigator 9:
• Visual Refresh. Netscape Navigator 9's theme has been updated to save screen-space and leave more room for the websites you visit.
• URL Correction. Navigator 9 will automatically correct common typos in URLs. For example, if you accidentally type googlecom, Navigator will fix it be to google.com. The browser will watch for nearly 30 different types of common mistakes and correct them for you (asking you to confirm, if you choose to enable confirmation). No more .cmo, .ogr, or htp:// !
• News Menu and Sidebar. The latest news is built right into the browser, under the News menu. Provided by Netscape.com, you can customize the menu to only contain the news sections you want to monitor. You can also open the News sidebar to always keep an eye on what's happening.
• Link Pad. The Link Pad is a new sidebar feature that allows you to save links/URLs that you want to visit later without cluttering your bookmarks. Just drag a link over the Link Pad status bar icon and drop it to save it in the Link Pad. By default, clicking on an item in the Link Pad will open it in the browser and remove it from the list, saving you the step of deleting it.
• News Tracker. The Netscape Tracker sidebar lets you monitor breaking news as it happens, via Netscape.com.
• In-browser voting. Share your opinions with the world! The icons in the Navigator address bar let you share interesting stories you find and vote on stories shared by others.
• Extension Compatibility. Navigator 9 shares an architecture with the latest Mozilla technologies; as such, Navigator 9 will let you install extensions that are compatible with Firefox (R) 2.
• Sidebar Mini Browser. You've always been able to have bookmarks open in the sidebar, but we've improved this functionality and extended it to all links, not just bookmarks. Additionally, we've added a navigation toolbar to the sidebar for even easier split-screened browsing. Just right-click on a link and select "Open Link in Sidebar" to get started!
• Restart Netcape. A smalll but oft-requested feature: you can now restart Navigator (and keep your current tabs intact) by selecting "Restart Navigator" from the File menu.
• Resizeable Textarea. Drag the bottom-right corners of text fields in forms to add more typing space.
• Tab History. Opening a link in a new tab will give the new tab the same history as the source tab for a more seamless tabbed browsing experience.
• OPML Support. Netscape Navigator supports importing and exporting your bookmarks in OPML, a popular format for sharing lists of newsfeeds.
• Throbber. By popular demand, the Netscape 7-style throbber is back. Click on it any time to visit Netscape.com.
• Combined Stop/Reload button. To save space in your toolbar, we've combined the stop and reload buttons. Because you never need both at the same time, the toolbar will only show the relevant half of the pair.
• Friends' Activity Sidebar. If you are a member at Netscape.com, you can keep tabs on what your friends find interesting. This sidebar lets you view your friends latest votes, comments, and story submissions.
• Sitemail Notification. This icon will sport an exclamation point when you have new Netscape.com sitemail messages waiting for you.

thank for update
