=== Collection of personal information === Another criticism is that the browser collects user browsing behavior by default [http://my.opera.com/larskl/journal/43]. By default, the option "Allow Netscape to gather anonymous browser usage statistics" is enabled. The option is found in the "Advanced Settings" during installation. As many casual users may skip the dialogs during installation, this feature could be turned on in many installations of Netscape Browser. Some{{Who|date=January 2010}} argue this feature should be called [[spyware]], however this term usually applies only to software that attempts to send private information to companies often later selling this to advertisers, whereas the information collected is actually anonymous.{{Citation needed|date=June 2007}}
