AOL is delaying the release of the first public test version of a new Netscape web browser until the end of the month so that it can fix some last-minute bugs, the company said today.
The beta version of the Netscape 8.0 browser had been scheduled for public release tomorrow, but that date will slip back a week or two. An early version of the browser that the IDG News Service saw late last month crashed many times under normal use.
The new Netscape browser is designed to protect users from scams and malicious code while surfing the web. One feature, for example, adjusts the browser security settings based on a list of known malicious websites to protect users from phishing scams.
