and...if you are avoiding Netscape 7 because of all the AOL ads and/or banners, etc, it is just as easy to move up to one of the Mozilla browsers, which are built on the basic Netscape chassis and are pretty similar to Netscape in design.

The FULL Mozilla includes email & newsgroups, Mozilla Firebird does not...it is smaller and a bit faster. Firebird is still technically "under development", but does almost everything just fine, and is used by millions as their regular browser.

Both Mozilla and Firebird have extensive pop-up blocking and other features, as well as the ability to be customized in appearance.
