Netscape Navigator is a graphical web browser that enables a user to access the World Wide Web and to fully experience the images, colors, sounds and movies that make up the web. In addition, a user may access FTP, Gopher and telnet, as well as newsgroups and e-mail. Netscape is generally easy to use, due to its "point-and-click" capability and its use of toolbars and drop-down menus.
To help a user view or hear certain file types, helper applications can be launched from within Netscape. Web pages can be added to a bookmark file for easy future access. In addition, a user can customize Netscape to meet personal preferences, such as making the default font size bigger.
