Netscape 6
Netscape 6 is based on new open source engine (Gecko), while Netscape Communicator 4.79 uses the engine that originally released in late 1994 and has been modified and enhanced through the evolution of internet.
Netscape 6 is the first best standards compliance of any browser ever released. This is made possible by the small, fast, standards-compliant, free, open-source, cross-platform, cross-device, embeddable Netscape Gecko browser engine. (However, Netscape 6 is generally considered as premature product, Netscape 7 is a better choice for stability and even better standard support.)
Features: Themes, My Sidebar, convenient and flexible search, simpler interface, multiple mail accounts and identity, integrated instant messaging, privacy tools, autotranslation.
Downloading Netscape 6:
(all-in-one): (recommended) including all components in a single big file, for easier downloading and redistribution. You can select which components not to install.
(installer): you will need to select which components you wish to download later, suitable for single computer.

Retrospective Netscapes (Screenshot of Mosaic Netscape 0.92)
Looking for those earlier version of killer applications that helped bring the WWW to everyone?
The browser was originally called "Navigator", although people called it "Netscape", and the suite is called Communicator. It was developed in 1994 by a team led by Marc Andreessen, who created Mosaic, the first Web browser that had a graphical user interface, at the University of Illinois' NCSA (National Center for Supercomputing Applications) in 1993.

Review of Netscape 0.9 by David Brody

The Beginning of Browser
Mosaic Netscape 0.9 was released on 13th October 1994 by the Mosaic Communication (later renamed to Netscape Communication Corp.) Netscape, a web browser, from the very beginning is significantly more advanced than any other browser of the time, including NCSA Mosaic.
