Netscape has released a new version of its web browser, which sees
the software include a number of social features which tie directly
into the company’s recently redesigned news portal. Dubbed ‘Navigator‘
(a return to its roots name-wise), the browser is, under the hood, a
re-branded version of Firefox, but with some significant bolted on
functionality for seamless integration with Netscape.com.
First
up, users can submit links and vote for stories on Netscape’s Digg-like
social news site, right from within the browser. When browsing the web,
‘Navigator’ will check with Netscape.com to see if the page you’re on
has already been submitted. If it has, you’ll be offered the vote
button, as well as being able to access any comments. Alternatively,
you can choose to submit the story yourself, which involves
highlighting any text on the page that might make a good summary, and
clicking ’share’.
