The latest version of the venerable Netscape Navigator browser has been shoved kicking and screaming into beta, with a host of improvements that might make it worth a second look. The list of upgrades to the browser -- which introduced a great many of us to the World Wide Web for the very first time -- includes:
- Firefox 2 Extension Compatibility - Like Navigator but miss your Firefox extensions? Not anymore.
- URL Correction - No more googlecom or downlodsquad, the browser handles auto-correction of common mistakes
- News Menu and Sidebar - Integration with the Netscape.com social news site, including in-browser voting
- Sidebar Mini-browser - The sidebar isn't just for bookmarks anymore
