  • The Most Convenient, Connected and Customizable Browser

    Netscape has been at the forefront of the Internet industry from the very beginning. The latest innovation from Netscape is the new Netscape 6. Combining browsing, e-mail and instant messaging into one easy to use software package, Netscape 6 offers unmatched convenience features and the ability to stay connected to important information, while offering the flexibility to customize the browser to fit individual needs and personalities.

    My Sidebar Keeps People Connected to What's Important to Them

    Located on the left side of the Netscape 6 interface, My Sidebar gives you a convenient place to keep track of the things that are important to you. Read the latest news, set up a custom stock portfolio, check your Buddy List for instant messaging, track auctions or listen to music. With over 600 tabs available from Netscape and third parties, My Sidebar gives you a personalized connection to the sites and people you care about. To learn more about My Sidebar, click here.

    Smaller Download Size for Faster Installation

    Netscape 6 is a full-featured browser that bucks the trend in software bloat. Netscape 6 was developed from the ground up to be as small as possible while still providing a rich feature set. The result is a very powerful product that downloads quickly, even over a modem. Netscape built the Netscape 6 installer to allow you to choose the specific software you want to install - so you never download software that you don't need.

    Powerful, Integrated Search

    Netscape Navigator now includes a search field in the main toolbar. That means that at any time, from anywhere on the Web, you can type what you want and click the "Search" button - you no longer have to take the time to load a special search page or open a frame. This search field doubles as the Web address field. So whether you have a Web address, an Internet keyword or a word or phrase to search for, you can enter it in the search field and get what you want quickly.

    Integrated Communications Keeps You Connected

    Netscape Mail lets you conveniently manage all your Internet communications from one place. With support for multiple accounts - including AOL e-mail and free Netscape WebMail accounts - you can easily keep track of your business and personal e-mail accounts as well as Internet newsgroups, all from one window.

    Built-in Instant Messaging throughout Netscape 6

    Instant messaging is the third 'killer app' on the Internet, after browsing and e-mail. Netscape 6 is the first Internet software suite to seamlessly combine browsing, e-mail and instant messaging. You can easily communicate with friends and colleagues who use the popular AOL Instant Messenger service - all in an environment integrated throughout Netscape 6.

    Customization for a More Personal Internet Experience

    Netscape 6 is designed for Web-savvy users - people who know what they want out of their Internet experience. Netscape 6 offers a host of customization features so you can set it up exactly as you wish - from multiple e-mail accounts and bookmarks, to personalizing the tabs in My Sidebar, to deeply customizing the user interface with the Themes feature.

    Themes add personality to the browser

    With Themes, you can deeply customize the look of Netscape 6 and all its components including Mail, Instant Messenger, and Composer by selecting a style and appearance that matches your personality or mood. You can pick the "classic" theme similar to the familiar Netscape Communicator interface or switch with the click of button to a new "modern" theme that Netscape ships as the default look. Or you can choose from among the many new themes that developers and companies are creating to fit your individual styles and brands. For more information, please visit the Netscape Theme Park.

    Convenient Tools to Protect and Control Online Privacy

    To provide you with greater privacy and security online, Netscape 6 offers three new and enhanced features: the Password Manager, the Cookie Manager and the Forms Manager. The Netscape 6 Password Manager remembers all login names and passwords at various sites, and automatically fills them in for you on future visits. The Cookie Manager in Netscape 6 is an easy-to-use, breakthrough feature that gives you more control over your online privacy. It allows you to control how cookies are set and modified on a site-by-site and cookie-by-cookie basis. Navigator can also automatically fill in lengthy online forms. The Forms Manager in Netscape Navigator captures form information so the next time you visit a Web page that asks for the same data, you can just click a button to automatically fill it in.

    Netscape 6 sets the foundation for the next Internet revolution

    Netscape is fulfilling its promise to deliver a new browser that leads the industry in standards compliance and can run across a wide variety of platforms from traditional PC desktops to new computing devices. Netscape Gecko, the engine that powers Netscape 6, has the best standards support of any browser engine available. It supports more Web standards, more deeply, more consistently across platforms and devices than any other browser engine in history. Netscape Gecko's unmatched support for W3C standards allows Web developers to create rich, interactive and entirely standards-based applications that can be delivered over the Web. Developers are already applauding Netscape's commitment to enabling the platform-, device-, browser-, and vendor-independent Web applications of the future.

    Industry leaders like IBM, Intel, Liberate, NetObjects, Nokia, Red Hat, and Sun Microsystems are adopting Netscape Gecko to power a new generation of Web browsers, Web-enabled applications and Web browsing devices that will bring low cost, trouble-free Internet access to millions of new users who lack it today. To hasten the Web application and Web device revolutions, Netscape Gecko also supports free, open source, cross-platform Netscape Gecko Technologies that make it easier to achieve this unprecedented standards support across platforms and devices by speeding the implementation of standards-compliant browsers, applications set top boxes, and browsing appliances.
