What's Related Browsing

What was the last Netscaoe browser to have the What's Related button. It was so much fun surfing with it. And is it compatible with DSL and Windows XP?

Hello Free Spirit,

If memory serves correct, it was Netscape 4.8.

However the What's Related feature was cancelled. It was a damn good feature, and I really liked that.

Yes, but I don't think the service is still available.

If you still want to use the What's Related feature, you will need to use service from Alexa ( http://www.alexa.com/ )

Personally, I'd suggest you use Firefox, and install SearchStatus Extension (free). For more information, please see this FAQ

Netscape up through 7.2 still has a feature called What's Related. You can access it from within the sidebar on the left of the browser window. If it isn't visible, click on the Tabs menu in the sidebar, and check the box for "What's Related".

I don't know whether the 8.x series still has support for this.
