Netscape Updates Browser
Mozilla-based Netscape 7.2 improves printing and integrates instant messaging.
Source: PCWorldAfter being written off by industry observers last year, America Online's browser unit has showed signs of new life with the release of an update to its Netscape Web browser. Netscape Communications has released Netscape 7.2, the successor to the aging version 7.1 released in mid-2003. The last major update was Netscape 7.0, two years ago. The new version, which has been expected since earlier this year, is based on version 1.7 of Mozilla, the most recent version of the Mozilla Internet application suite. Improvements in the new Netscape Web browser over the earlier version include tabbed Web browsing, improved print preview, and integrated AOL Instant Messenger and ICQ, according to Netscape. It is downloadable free of charge from Netscape. Netscape 7.2 is available for Windows, Apple's Mac OS X, and Linux.
