Yes or no?
I tried it with Mozilla. I used the Google sidebar to search for something and the only thing Mozilla did was connection to Google (a 216.239... IP address) on port 80. No other connection was sent out. I used Tiny Personal Firewall for testing. I currently do not have Netscape 6 installed but I will do so now, just out of curiosity. - Holger
