AOL Time Warner subsidiary Netscape Communications has made the newest version of its Web browser, Netscape 7.01, which includes pop-up ad blocking capabilities, available for download from its Web site.
Netscape 7.01 can be configured so as to prevent the appearance of pop-up ads on a user's computer screen.
It also includes AOL e-mail features allowing users to unsend mail, check message status, and keep messages marked as new, Netscape said on its Web site.
Improved Performance
Additionally, the latest version of the Netscape browser features "minor stability and performance enhancements," as well as giving users the ability to view several tabbed pages as that user's home page, Netscape said.
Netscape 7.01 runs with Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems, the company said.
Netscape already included a similar pop-up blocker as part of its Mozilla browser.
The Mozilla development project, mozilla.org, is an open source program, which supplies a free Web browser with the same name. Selected features in Mozilla are included in the latest Netscape browser.
