Version: Netscape Navigator 8.1
"The best version of Netscape ever"
Pros: I am not sure how many Netscape users are left, with the likes of Firefox, Opera, Avant, Slim, Aol Exploer, etc on the market. I don't know if this new version, 8.1, will bring any of them back, but it is greatly improved. Netscape 8.1 comes with it's own security center now, and it is a good one. It features spyware protection, excellant popup blocking, ID theft protection, and site ratings. The tabbed browsing is improved and the web pages open faster. Firefox users will like this version, Opera users will never switch, so who knows. If you have the time, try it out. It is much improved

4 stars
Version: Netscape Navigator 9.0b1
Pros: Finally, a "Netscape" browser thats fast, stable and easy to get along with. New add one and plug ins are coming all the time. Some "Firefox" add ons work with it. It has customizable tool bars and looks nice. Imported my favorites and home page from "Internet Explorer. It has a built in history cleaner. And because it's still based on "Firefox" I feel comfortable that it's a secure browser. This version of "Netscape" is the biggest step forward they have ever made.
Cons: I couldn't find a way to import my "Firefox" favorites and those are the ones I use most.

Version: Netscape Navigator 9.0.0.5
Pros: Simple interface that is fast and reliable. Just as good as any alternative to IE.
Cons: Netscape will no longer be supported by AOL (which owns Netscape). By February 2008, there will no further updates (including security updates) for any version of the Netscape browser.
