Publisher's Description
From Netscape:
Netscape Navigator 9.0 is a browser-only release. It does not contain an e-mail client, newsgroup reader, or HTML composer. Users of the Netscape 7.x suite may choose not to install Netscape Navigator 9 to avoid the loss of these features. You can have the best of both worlds by keeping Netscape 7.x installed for mail and news and installing Navigator 9 for browsing the Web.
What's new in this version:
- Security fixes included in Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.12 have been included in Netscape Navigator 9.0.0.6.
- An add-on has been included in this version to help users migrate to either Flock or Firefox
- The WeatherBug add-on has been removed from this version of Navigator.

"You were the best Netscape"
Version: Netscape X 9.0.0.6
Pros
What I really like is that it still runs on Mac OS 10.2.
Cons
Version 9.0.0.6 routinely ask you to switch to Firefox or Flock. That is why I suggest using version 9.0.0.5 instead. Also quite a few pages are not rendered correctly. This will only continue to increase in the future.
Summary
I remember going online for the first time back in 1997. It was on a LC II running Netscape 2 in my High School's computer lab. Since then I have mostly used Netscape. I continued using it even after it had lost the browser wars of the 90's to Internet Explorer. If you need a browser for an older operating system, then Netscape is a good choice. Rest in peace Netscape.
