You can turn off Java, Javascript, Style Sheets, etc. to block annoyances, but you'll need extra utilities to block ads, viruses, porn or whatever IE pretends to be blocking. > 2) Any warnings, cautions or concerns in downloading Netscape? There are two models of Netscape; Original with the latest version of 4.79, (I think), and the new Mozilla version with 6.21 the latest. For Browser only; Both work well. 4.x has a few bugs especially with poorly coded web pages. 6.x version works great, but still has problems with bad, non-standard code, (code which IE loves, but is still not WWWC standard). When installing either version, the install will ask which processes you want it to take control of, such as HTML, JPG, etc. Uncheck, unselect each one or else you'll have problems. IE does not like to be anything other than the default. You'll still be able to run Netscape with no problems, ie; when you click a link in netscape, it will open in netscape. You can install both 4.x and 6.x and other browsers as well. Just pay attention while installing that one doesn't overwrite another, or take the default browser function away from IE, (in Win 98 and later where IE is integrated into the OS). Web designers should have several browsers to view their code. We wish :) For full Communicator suite, including Netscape Mail; 4.x Messenger, (mail), is great. 6.x's mail and newsgroup programs are buggy.
