  Version: Netscape 8.1

  "The best version of Netscape ever"

  by goldengreeke on April 19, 2006

  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

  Thank you for submitting your feedback!

  I have not tried the 8.1 version but does it come with a Netscape e-mail browswer? I am still using version 4.79 cause any versions newer have not included the e-mail browser in it.

  I would need a lot more info to switch and as a satisfied ff'er I have to think I have the original so there is no need to "test-drive" a clone
