Netscape still going
Although the Netscape name has now all but disappeared from most people's computers, the company (now owned by AOL) has just released version 9 of the once-loved Netscape Navigator. It's still a beta version at the moment, but the list of new features include a refreshed user interface, URL correction, a news menu and sidebar, in-browser voting, a sidebar mini-browser and compatibility with Firefox 2.0 extensions. Of course features like tabbed browsing and RSS feeds are a standard characteristic of modern browsers nowadays, so Netscape is no exception. If you're getting a little bored of your current browser or want to give Netscape another chance, you can download it from here. The complete list of new features can be read here. It's worth remembering that Netscape and Firefox are both based on the same architecture (which is why they can share extensions), so if there are any niggling issues for you with Firefox, Netscape might be worth a try.
