I will be perfectly honest in saying that I had no idea Netscape as a browser still existed, but here is a brand new version. A few unique features include the ability to vote on news stories that appear on their hubsite, view news in the sidebar and have automatic correction of misspelled URLs.
Navigator 9 shares its architecture with the latest Mozilla technologies; as such Navigator 9 will allow you to install extensions that are compatible with Firefox 2.
I’ve been experiencing a higher than normal number of problems with Firefox 2.0 recently, so I think I will be giving Netscape a try in the coming days since it’s compatible with FF’s extensions.
Die-hards of the browser seem to be sticking with 7.2, since Netscape has never given them the option to properly carry their e-mail over to the latest version. If you don’t have that problem, give it a try. It’s available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
