Netscape 6 was the name of Netscape Communications Corporation's proprietary cross-platform internet suite from versions 6.0–6.2.3. It superseded Netscape Communicator 4.8 (as the release of Netscape Communicator 5 was scrapped) and was replaced by the simply-named Netscape. Netscape 6, and later Netscape 7, were based on the Mozilla Application Suite, an open-source software package which at that time was simply known as Mozilla.
It consisted of the following major components:
- a web browser
- an e-mail and news client, Netscape Mail & Newsgroups
- an address book
- an HTML editor, Netscape Composer
- an instant messaging client, AOL Instant Messenger
