Propeller.com Social News Browser Extensions

A few weeks ago, we announced that the social news functionality was being removed from the Netscape Navigator Web browser in parallel with Netscape.com's transition to Propeller.com; at that same time, we promised that we'd release these features as standalone browser extensions.

We're making true on that commitment; the following social news features that had been standard components of early betas of Netscape Navigator 9 have now been reborn as browser extensions. These extensions are compatible with both Firefox 2 and Navigator 9:

Propeller.com Friends' Activity Sidebar

Propeller.com Sitemail Notifier

Propeller.com Tracker

Propeller.com News

The News and Tracker extensions are still available only in the Mozilla Addons sandbox; read this for more information about the sandbox.

Is there a reason these extensions are not on the Netscape Navigator site as well?

Mario I think the reason is that many users don't use propeller and they want to take it out.
