Remember Netscape? No, not the social news/bookmark site. That's called Propeller now. We're talking about the web browser. We'll forgive you if you didn't realize the Netscape browser still existed. We forget sometimes ourselves, and we work for AOL, the company that owns Netscape.

AOL has released the latest version of the Netscape browser. And while it's built on top of Firefox, it offers a few added features you won't find in Firefox (you know, unless you install a bunch of add-ons and Greasemonkey scripts):

• Auto-correction of URLs
• Easily resize text boxes in web applications like Gmail
• Link Pad sidebar that lets you drab and drop links without mixing them up with your bookmarks
• Sidebar minibrowser that lets you have two web sites open side by side at the same time

There's been a beta version of Netscape 9 floating around for a few months, but now's the time to download the stable release. Netscape 9 runs on Windows, OS X, and Linux.
