The primary draw of Netscape has always been the Web browser itself, and despite an intriguing handful of supporting applications, the Web browser continues to warrant the most attention in v4.x. While the majority of changes in the Web browser are more cosmetic in nature than revolutionary, there are quite a few new features that will appeal to Navigator fans.
The most obvious changes have been made to the toolbars. First and foremost, the rather plain and dull icons of Navigator 3.x and earlier releases have been replaced with attractive 3D icons that put Internet Explorer 3.x's icons to shame. Additionally, there are now three individual toolbars -- including a cool new customizable personal toolbar -- each of which is collapsible, meaning that the toolbar can be minimized in order to give the browser a larger viewing area.
Another new interface feature is the ability to drag Web links (as well as mail, FTP, and news links) into your bookmarks collection or onto your personal toolbar. The back and forward icon buttons work as before with your left mouse button, but clicking on the icons with your right mouse button will now allow you to choose a Web page from your history listing.
