Netscape comes with Solaris 8 and 9. For Solaris 7 or earlier or for the “domestic” version with 128-bit (high) encryption, you can download it from ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/communicator/english/4.79/unix/unsupported/sunos551_x86/ This address changes slightly for each language and version. Or try http://www.netscape.com/download/ Netscape is available in pkgadd/webstart formats from Sun (including 128-bit encryption) from http://www.Sun.COM/solaris/netscape/ This seems to be better integrated with Solaris (especially Java), although they are usually a point release or two behind. There’s also a FAQ here. Mozilla. Mozilla is like Netscape 7 (which is based on Mozilla), but more cutting-edge (and slightly more buggy), but I prefer it. Mozilla allows you to disable pop-up adds and it doesn’t have the AOL add-on junk either. Mozilla is, however, missing a spell checker. Solaris x86 binaries are from Sun at http://wwws.sun.com/software/solaris/browser/ and http://www.mozilla.org/releases
