This latest version of Netscape is based on the same open-source code as the Mozilla browser, which means it shares that program's excellent tab-based interface. This lets you switch among multiple Web sites within one window by clicking a series of tabs below the browser's tool bar.

Netscape 7 also lets you bookmark groups of sites; selecting such a bookmark opens that set as a series of tabs.
