The AutoComplete feature displays a drop-down list of matching sites when you start to type a URL in the address bar. AutoComplete also works with Web forms, displaying a list of previous entries when you start to type in a field on a Web site. To automate login processes even further, you can also save usernames and passwords for particular sites. Internet Explorer offers 128-bit encryption and includes a Radio Toolbar, which allows you to listen to radio stations over the Internet as you browse. Navigator lets you browse the Web, participate in Usenet newsgroups, and send and receive email without the steep memory requirements of Communicator.
Navigator supports frames, cookies, and the latest HTML standards.
Netscape Navigator is the browser-only part of the Communicator package. Navigator offers extended access for signed Java applets, so you can approve or deny an applet's request. With support for Unicode, an international character-encoding standard that supports many languages, Navigator ensures that you can create or view pages that use characters from multiple languages. This release still includes Smart Browsing, allowing you to enter keywords directly into the location bar and returning search results, searching first for sites that use the keyword as a domain name, and defaulting to a search result only if none are found. In addition to the Netscape Navigator browser, Communicator includes a complete set of tools for effective, everyday communication.
