 | | Among the weapons the browser features in its effort to guard against online criminals are frequently updated fllists of Web sites that are suspected of distributing spyware or hosting phishing schemes. |
 | | The browser promises to redirect customers to a warning page when they access a banned site, and also disables various technologies with questionable security implications, including ActiveX, scripting and cookies, if a user chooses to continue on to a fllisted Web address. |
 | | Another feature of the browser, unrelated to security concerns, allows individuals to add RSS, or Really Simple Syndication, feeds to Netscape 8 with a single mouse click, and simplifies the process of designating a set of tabs as their home page. |
