Version: Netscape 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

Version: Netscape 8.1
Pros: The Netscape Browser is very good. It's stable and the Netscape Security Center keeps the browser from being a gateway from malware (worms, trojans, adware, spyware, etc.). Additionally, it piggy backs on the Firefox browser to add extra security.
Cons: It isn't anywhere as customizable as Firefox. I can't log into AOL, via the Netscape Browser, unless I tell it to "display like Internet Explorer."

Version: Netscape 8.1
Pros: This is a good browser offering more security than firefox and opera.
Iy has an highly efficient inbuilt Spyware and adware scanner which not only scans your downloads but also scans your PC.
It has a different interface which looks good.
Pages definitely load faster than IE.
Cons: Tabbed browsing could be a bit better
Freezes up sometimes
No extensions and hardly any themes. So, FF is definetly more customizable.
Overall I recomend this download
