It also managed to crash my Mac once while reading news. Netscape's programmers were shameless in constructing Navigator, blending the best features of every other browser they could find into a single product. Navigator was the only browser to pass all my tests without crashing. Its news reader isn't sophisticated but provides a simple interface for integrating news with other Internet browsing. Navigator handled my test documents well, displaying both JPEG and GIF files without the help of outside applications.
Navigator also has a number of small interface features that make it easy to use.
Netscape has used the enormous success of Navigator to push its own extensions to the HTML standard. This means you'll probably need Navigator no matter what, if only to make sure you can browse all the documents you come across. Most Internauts will be happy with Netscape Navigator. Overall, Navigator is a stable browser with an excellent set of features and a well-designed interface. Mac users will have no problem learning Navigator and becoming comfortable with it.
