The Netscape site is also JavaScript-disabled browser unfriendly.
Their home page is blank if you have JavaScript patched out of
Netscape Navigator 2.0.  Makes it a tad difficult to find out when 
the next release (with the requisite "Disable JavaScript" option) will
be available.  In the meantime, I guess we'll just have to use XMosaic
{ just ignore the spotch at the top of your screen --- that's
frustrated Frames or JavaScript } or Netscape 1.1 to visit Netscape's
site and find out if they have released the next Navigator 2.0x with
improved security.

ObWebSecurity:

    Is there anybody from Netscape monitoring this list who
    can confirm or deny that Navigator 2.0x will be released "very
    soon now" with the capability to disable JavaScript as well as
    Java in the "Security Options"?
