Emulation
Guides on emulating older applications

Netscape version 2.0 introduced a bevy of must-have breakthrough features; frames, (optional) Java, JavaScript, animated GIFs and Plug-Ins.

DL 1: Netscape Navigator 2.0; JavaScript can not be disabled in this version, unlike 2.01 and later
DL 2: Netscape Navigator 2.01
DL 3: Netscape Navigator 2.02

Developed by Netscape Communications, this is a fast and full-featured web browser.

Key features of Netscape 2.0 include client-side image mapping; progressive JPEG rendering; Netscape Plug-Ins for streamed audio and video; integrated e-mail and threaded news; enhanced document formatting tools including multiple, simultaneous, independently-scrollable frames; and support for Java applets.

Version 2.0 added a full mail reader called Netscape Mail, thus transforming Netscape from a mere web browser to an Internet suite.

The Custom Install lets you choose between 68k, PPC or FAT.

Tips for the modern web

Uncheck JavaScript.
Delete all certificates they are all outdated.
In Options menu:

General Preferences: set Colors to Always Use Mine and Background to Custom.
