Netscape Navigator is a favorite among web surfers and for good reason. This web browser is highly customizable, has a sleek, metallic design and a number of features that will enhance your Internet browsing experience. Netscape comes equipped with tabbed browsing, an integrated search engine, RSS feeds and widgets.
Despite these practical features, Netscape still falls short of Opera, our #1 pick. Opera takes browsing to a new level with voice interaction and mouse gestures.
Features Set:
Netscape has the features that will help you get the most from the Internet—whether you browse for entertainment, news, research or to shop. You can jump from page to page instantly and open a number of websites in one browser window with tabbed browsing. You can also skip forward or go back to any point in your session with the enhanced Go Forward and Go Back buttons.
The Netscape Navigator has an integrated search. You can choose from a list of favorite search engines including Google, Yahoo, Ask and more.
The browser toolbars are extremely customizable. You can arrange the bars and add or delete tools to fit your needs. You can even add a sidebar to accommodate more tools or other functions like your favorites list, weather report, stock information or a desktop search function.
The developers of Netscape could make an already excellent browser even better by adding voice interaction, mouse gestures, and the ability to synchronize a webpage with a personal document.
Security:
This browser has a well–developed Security Center with a pop–up menu. You are able to customize your preferences in pop–up blocking, theft protection, spyware protection and more. A red, green or grey indicator makes it easy to see how secure a website is.
We couldn’t find any indication that Netscape Navigator protects against viruses.
Ease of Use:
This Navigator has tons of customization options so you can setup the browser to fit your general needs or to accommodate the task at hand. If you’re already familiar with browsers, you’ll be able to modify and use this browser right after downloading it.
Ease of Installation/Setup:
We didn’t have any problems installing and setting up Netscape. You can instantly import your favorites list from Firefox or Internet Explorer.
Help/Support:
The developers of Netscape provide an array of online help. If you have a question, you’ll find FAQs, tutorials and user guides. You can contact customer support by email or phone. However, you have to pay $19.95 per incident to get phone support.
Summary:
Netscape is one of the best all–around browsers and a top pick for millions of web surfers—even better, this browser is a FREE download. Try it, and we think Netscape Navigator’s clean look and accomodating interface will captivate you.
