From today's WSJ. Being introduced today.
Netscape, which played a central role in the commercial development of the Web as an independent company and which is now a division of America Online Inc., will introduce Netscape 6, a faster and easier-to-customize browser. At the core of Netscape 6 is a program dubbed "Gecko" that speedily renders on computer screens the text, images and other data that make up Web pages.

AOL says Gecko is much faster and smaller than similar programs, making it ideally suited for use in cellular phones, television set-top boxes and other devices that will play a crucial role in Web browsing.

Netscape 6 also makes it easier for users to connect to AOL's popular instant-messaging chat service. And other hooks will bring Netscape users to its own Web site, where the company will ply visitors with advertisements and shopping opportunities.
