Netscape Navigator 7

This latest version of Navigator was released in 2002, with additional 7.x releases in 2003 and 2004. It is essentially the Mozilla browser wrapped in the Netscape brand. It accounts for a startlingly small share of web traffic (less than 1%). Netscape’s previous meaningful release was Version 6, which was years in the making, had numerous problems with standards and failed to gain back the market share gobbled up by Internet Explorer during its overlong development. A beta of Version 8 is available as of this writing.
