At 37, Andreessen is a legend in Silicon Valley. He created, with Eric Bina, the first graphical browser while at the University of Illinois, then co-founded Netscape Communications with überentrepreneur Jim Clark in the early 1990s. Netscape’s browser brought the internet to the masses, set off the dotcom boom, and so angered Microsoft at the time that Steve Ballmer, now the software giant’s C.E.O., led employees in “Kill Netscape!” chants. By bundling its Internet Explorer browser into Windows, Microsoft eventually drove Netscape into the arms of a suitor: AOL bought Netscape in 1999 for $4.2 billion.Andreessen hasn’t had a success of that magnitude since. But he did create another billion-dollar company, Loudcloud, a tech-services outfit that later changed its name to Opsware and was sold to Hewlett-Packard for $1.6 billion. More recently, Andreessen started Ning, a website that lets anyone create a mini social network. Its most prominent customer: 50 Cent. Andreessen joined Face­book’s board this year, invested in Twitter, and generally manages to show up on the front end of new technology trends. His blog, Blog.pmarca.com, has been a tech-industry must-read, in part because he’s willing to be brutally outspoken. In February, Andreessen ignited emotions when he blogged that he was starting a “New York Times Deathwatch.”

The profile manager does it for you. It will import your entire profile(s) if you wish, including bookmarks, cookies, as well as your email messages and mail and news server settings. It's as easy as the click of a button! Please note that your existing Netscape 4 profile will not be altered in any way, i.e. you can still use Netscape 4 as before. Note: There is a difference between importing your Netscape 4 profile with Mozilla and Netscape 7. Only Netscape 7 will convert/import your Netscape 7 address book! Mozilla cannot do that due to the proprietary file format that Netscape 4 uses.

Step Five - Scripts and Plugins

Javascript and Plugins have (in most cases) greatly improved the Internet experience by adding features to previously text and image only sites. As with all things, they have their drawbacks, too, which can be alleviated with Netscape's Javascript and Plugin Preferences.

Netscape's JavaScript and Plugin Preferences

• The recommended "Enable Javascript for" settings are:
  Check "Enable Javascript" for Navigator (i.e. the Browser) and uncheck (disable) it for Mail & Newsgroups.
  The reason why I recommend this is that I see no reason whatsoever for Javscript in mail and newsgroup messages besides using a script to fetch data from a remote server (verifying that you have read the message) or to do things you neither need nor want them to.
• The recommended "Allow scripts to" settings are:
  Uncheck (disable) "Move or resize existing windows", "Raise or lower windows", " Change status bar text" (this will help protect you from Spoofing, i.e. sites pretending to be another site) and "Hide the status bar".
  Check (enable) "Change Images" (this is e.g. used for mouse over effects), "Create or change cookies" and "Read Cookies". All other features will (in my opinion) neither hurt if selected or deselected.
• The recommended "Enable plugins for Mail & Newsgroups" setting is:
  Uncheck (disable) "Enable plugins for Mail & Newsgroups", as again, I see no need for plugins in mail and newsgroup messages, but I do see potential for misuse.

With these settings applied, Mozilla should protect your online security and privacy even better. But as I said in the beginning: The safe use of the Internet is always also the individual user's responsibility.

Step Three - Popup Windows
"...flashes of wit pop up like sharp-shooters" Honore de Balzac

If all Popup windows were flashes of wit, most users would probably not mind their intrusive nature too much. Unfortunately, that is not the case with most advertising popups. In addition, there is the very annoying kind that opens when you close a page, sometimes spawning multiple new Popup windows when you close it.

Fortunately, Netscape 7 come with a great Popup Manager which allows you to block popups that open automatically when you either enter (onload) or exit (onunload) a page. Netscape 7's popup preferences are IMHO , they allow you to either block or to allow all popups except for from those sites which you specify.

Mozilla's Popup Preferences

 The recommended "Popup Windows" settings are:
Check "Block unrequested popups" and "Display an icon in the Navigator status bar".
The latter is important since some sites use Popups for purposes like logging in to the site, i.e. useful purposes. If you have blocked popups for these sites, they will not work properly. I have noticed in quite a few cases (web shops, car rental sites) where this problem has occurred. Normally, Netscape's Popup blocking should only block unrequested popup windows, i.e. the ones that open automatically. Some sites, however seem to open popup windows in a way (e.g. with a delay) that Netscape interprets as unrequested, thus blocking them. If you are clicking on a link and something should happen, but doesn't, look at the lower right side of the browser to see if the icon for a blocked popup window is shown:



If the icon appears (Netscape 7.01 and up), double-click on the icon to open the Popup Manager and click on the "Add" button to allow the site you are on to open popup windows.

Step one - Keeping the Cookie Monster in check:

Cookies are small bits of information your browser remembers for a web site. Your browser saves your cookies in a text file on your harddrive. Cookies by themselves pose no security risk: They cannot contain a computer virus, nor can they be used to spy on you by reading your harddrive's content. They can be very useful and make surfing the Internet easier when used properly by making sites remember who you are and in some cases what you like. However, some companies use cookies to track you across various websites, thus recording your user behavior. What makes it worse is that often those are companies you never directly dealt with, which means that you neither gave them the permission to track you, nor do you know what you get out of the deal.
With older browsers such as Internet Explorer 5.x or Netscape 4.x, you only had the choice of either completely disabling cookies, losing their benefits, allowing all cookies or having to say "Yes" or "No" to endless alert windows asking you if site "x" was allowed to set a cookie. Fortunately, newer browsers like Mozilla, Netscape 7, Opera 7 and to some degree Internet Explorer 6 give you the option to selectively allow and disallow sites to set cookies.

Netscape's Cookie preferences


IMHO, the ideal setting is to check "Enable all cookies" and "Ask me before storing a cookie". This will make you answer "yes" or "no" to quite a few cookie dialogs, but with Netscape you only have to do it once per site. Simply make sure "Use my choice for all cookies from this site"" is checked.

Netscape's Cookie dialog


There are several alternatives, depending how you surf the web:

• If you don't visit sites that need to remember who you are, or if you don't care for that feature, but you visit sites who only allow you to enter with cookies enabled, select
  "Enable all Cookies", check "Limit maximum lifetime of cookies to - current session" and uncheck "Ask me before storing a cookie".
  This way, Netscape will accept all cookies but they are automatically deleted once you session is over (i.e. you close Netscape).
• As an alternative to the general recommendation, you can also select "Enable cookies for the originating website only" or "Enable cookies based on privacy settings". This should work in most cases and especially with larger sites, but it may not work properly with all sites.

If you have accidentally blocked or allowed cookies from a site, you can easily change that by using Netscape's Cookie Manager.

Opening Netscape's Cookie Manager


Either open Cookie Manager by selecting "Manage Stored Cookies", which will show you all cookies that are currently set and site permissions ("Cookie sites"), or (un-)block cookies for the site you are currently visiting by selecting "Block Cookies from this site" or "Unblock Cookies from this site".
