AOL releases delayed Netscape beta
America Online Inc. yesterday released the first public test version of Netscape 8, an updated Web browser with features designed to protect users against online scams and malicious code.

The beta release was originally scheduled for mid-February but was delayed to fix some last-minute bugs. A preview version of the browser has been available to a select group of testers since late November, although the Netscape 8 beta version differs significantly from that preview.

With the release of the Netscape 8 beta, AOL is taking aim at Microsoft Corp.'s dominant Internet Explorer Web browser, which has been the subject of many security vulnerabilities. AOL is also looking to piggyback on the popularity of Firefox, an open-source Web browser that was released in November and has since been downloaded about 27 million times.
