But the low-impact tweaks in version 7.2 of the software underline the moribund state of America Online's browser division.

No business model here...

How does anybody plan to make money on the browser? This is a case study of how a business model was destroyed while there is still plenty of oppurtunity to develop on the user experience and technology foundation.

Mozilla Code Went through 3 revisions since last version

The improvements really lie in the Mozilla Code. While Netscape's Release Notes may not specify the improvements between 7.1 and 7.2.

Looking at the Mozilla Versions from 1.4 on highlight the improvements and changes.

All Netscape did was provide the AIM sidebar and other optional add-ons.

AOL's netscape update

Why is it everytime someone signs off AOL it say's wait updating browser. THe next time they log on the see all the filth that has been loaded. AOL stands for *#!&^% on line if you get the drift. Slow is not the word for AOL snail pace would be a complement

Gets cookie enhanced controls!

Netscape 7.1's cookie manager didn't have it so you can have a site be blocked or allowed. Similar to IE 6.0. Add them to be blocked or allowed site by site basis over-riding settings. Mozilla 1.7 and not sure if 1.3 had it, think it did, those features that are allow block and session are in Netscape 7.2. That right there is a big thing that I wanted in Netscape. Now it's here.
