Netscape was a proprietary cross-platform Internet suite created by Netscape Communications Corporation and then in-house by AOL to continue the Netscape series after Netscape 6. In the last version, it consisted of the following major components:
- Web browser
- Email and news client
- Address book
- HTML editor
- IRC client
- Instant messenger
The suite was superseded by Netscape Browser.
History and development
Netscape 7.0 was released in 2002. It was based on a more stable and notably faster Mozilla 1.0 core and bundled with extras like integrated AOL Instant Messenger, integrated ICQ, and Radio@Netscape. The market responded to what was essentially a repackaged version of Mozilla Application Suite (swollen with integrated tools to access proprietary services owned by AOL) by ignoring it. Competition from mature and competent non-Microsoft alternatives such as the Opera browser and the regular Mozilla distribution was a major factor. A point release of version 7.1 (based on Mozilla 1.4) was similarly ignored.
On the Windows platform, the Netscape suite has long since become irrelevant. There are still some users of recent versions, but most of them are people who are unwilling or unable to switch from the outdated and crash-prone 4.x versions, since the newer browsers generally require more powerful machines for decent performance. On other platforms which do not have Internet Explorer bundled (such as Linux), the Mozilla suite was often used instead of Netscape. The rise of alternatives like Mozilla Firefox and Konqueror also given it strong competition.
AOL announced on July 15, 2003 that it was laying off all its remaining development staff working on the Netscape version of Mozilla. Combined with AOL's antitrust case court settlement with Microsoft to use Internet Explorer in future versions of the AOL software, this seemed to mark the effective end of development on Netscape Navigator, the open source projects notwithstanding. Many believed that no further versions of the browser would be released and that the Netscape brand name would live on only as the name of AOL's low-cost dial-up internet service.
Netscape 7.2 was released on August 17, 2004, though AOL did not restart the Netscape browser division (instead, they developed it in-house). It was very similar to Netscape 7.1 and the only new feature in it was the Netscape Toolbar, which was developed by mozdev.org.
Though many had believed Netscape 7 would be the last version of Netscape to be released, AOL, in May, 2005, come out with Netscape Browser version 8. It included improved security and the ability to natively use the Gecko layout engine used by Mozilla and its derivatives. It also has Internet Explorer's Trident built in which enables it to properly display web pages designed for Internet Explorer that are not World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) compatible. This use of the Trident engine allows the use of ActiveX controls and brings all ActiveX security problems associated with Internet Explorer.

C, C++ and Perl are most often cited as easily obfuscatable languages. Macro preprocessors are often used to create hard to read code by masking the standard language syntax and grammar from the main body of code. The term s
