Old rival of Internet Explorer.
There was a time when the war between browsers only had two rivals,
Netscape and
Internet Explorer, the product by
Microsoft manage to win, but
Netscape set the bases on which other products, like
Firefox, have been developed. This browser included great innovations and an incredible potential making many webmasters and users to plead for it.
The truth is that the suite provided by
Netscape is really complete: an
HTML editor called
Composer, the
ICQ instant messenger software, a
news and email client and, of course, a brilliant browser. This software was really advanced because it included features that other developments took years to add:
tab browsing, integrated searches with various
search engines, favorites manager,...
Its developers economic problems and the strong rivalry made caused this
browser to become outdated as time went by, nevertheless, even today it can still come in very handy to see how certain websites work, to be used on outdated computers or, simply, to browse again with this
Internet browser project.
