1. About Plugin Chooser

Plugin Chooser is a software to choose plugins for Netscape
Navigator.

Netscape Navigator has a capability of adding plugin modules.
If you add plugins, Netscape Navigator becomes to be able to
handle information which Netscape Navigator does not support
by its own.
But plugin capability has some inconveniences like:

   - you can't switch multiple plugins for same type of
     information.
   - you can't use helper applications if you add a plugin
     for the same type of information.

Especially, Netscape Navigator 3.0 has some plugins in it,
so you may have some troubles when you try to add other plugins
or helper applications.

Plugin Chooser solves these problems:

   - you can choose one of the plugins which you want to use
     for a type of information.
   - you can make plugins inactive and use a helper application.
