Netscape Communicator power-ups

-
For people who browse the Web, Navigator 4.0 will be their primary Communicator application. While major functional changes have made in the browser--changes that relate to support for Java, JavaScript, and HTML Style Sheets--most of the modifications have to do with Navigator's user interface. Netscape has made a number of changes to the toolbars. There is no longer a separate Directory toolbar, for example; its functionality is now included in a pair of new icons on the main toolbar. For hints on how to take advantage of the changes, see our 35 tips.
