Netscape 7.2 Released

Posted by michael on from the mozilla-inside dept.

scottfi writes "America Online has just released Netscape 7.2. Based on Mozilla 1.7, this latest version features better popup blocking, vCard support, an improved junk mail algorithm, better standards support, performance enhancements and several hundred other bug fixes. It also includes patches for recent security vulnerabilities. It is a little over a year since AOL shut down the Netscape browser division, laid off or reassigned the remaining engineers and withdrew from the day to day running of mozilla.org. At the time, they said that new versions of Netscape were unlikely. Earlier this year, they changed their minds and announced Netscape 7.2. More details about Netscape 7.2 are available at Netscape Browser Central, together with download links."

    More propaganda spewed by FOX News fans with no basis in fact or study.

    Right. Mosaic gave us the WWW. Netscape polluted it with javascript, cookies, and non-standard HTML.

    Let Netscape rot.
