Netscape readies antiphishing browser | |

Netscape next month is expected to release a test version of a Web browser designed to resist phishing schemes, taking aim at recent security vulnerabilities in Microsoft's Web browser. Netscape, a unit of Time Warner subsidiary America Online, has been recharging its browser activity in recent months, prodded by the success of its open-source spin-off, the Mozilla Foundation, and by the prospects of increased revenue through browser-based search queries. On Feb. 17, Netscape is expected to release both the second test, or "beta," version of Netscape 8 and a redesigned Netscape.com portal site. Netscape--founded 10 years ago by the creators of the pioneering Mosaic browser--once ruled the roost of the browser world with better than 80 percent of the market. But Microsoft's Internet Explorer wrested the market away and now enjoys better than 90 percent usage worldwide, according to most surveys. |

| Oh boy, another bloated offering from Netscape which is probably incompatible with every preceeding version of Netscape. Seriously I don't know why they even bother anymore, just use IE, Firefox or Opera and keep Netscape dead. |

| I think it's a very good idea - may be not as well executed as all would want, but we don't know enough about it, yet. Still, phishing is a serious issues that many in the industry have stated they will work together to solve - any action in the direction of solutions should be viewed as a good thing and help less experienced users stay safer. |
