This is really sad. Although IE and FF are the famous browsers nowadays, I was still hoping that the ones which existed last time were still alive. But the fact that change is constant in the World Wide Web, for Netscape to exist despite of all competitors it should be:
1. Managed by an excellent management
2. Constantly upgraded
3. Be made known to all that it still exists and the people behind it are constantly working

Of course I remember Netscape Navigator. I was also surprised to hear they were still going on. I see that they’ve now turned into a social bookmarking tool… interesting.
Yep, Netscape was there before Internet Explorer, and I remember using it on Windows back in the day before they came up with the brilliant idea of, â€œhey, let’s just do the same thing and ship it with Windows 95 and 98.â€ Pretty much, they copied the idea and then just shipped it with Windows, getting the Apple deal, and totally killing Navigator. At the time, they really pulled some awfully bad moves on them.
But we’re thankful to Navigator, for sure… for now I surf the web on FireFox. Second to Opera, of course, but I certainly don’t use IE (and I now run on Linux anyway!)

Your history’s a bit off, but I believe the image is right — the version just predates the animated “throbber” icon.

As I remember it, Netscape (the financial venture) grew out of a Mozilla (a USF open source project), both out WAY before IE, which was another Gates-ian ploy to force competing software out of the market.

Hate to say it, but you goofed; the Color Classic in that photo is running Internet Explorer. Note the menu bar; Netscape has always called them “Bookmarks”. Also, the icon on the upper right that shows the running app is not the famous N.

I have to say, it is about damn time, the company I am working for uses the entire suite for email and web browsing and will not change. I have worked as a IT Technician in the past, I have to say it was the worst suite to configure.

RIP Netscape Navigate … I would like to say I will miss you, but I would be lying.

It is in deed and in fact a dark day. But Netscape lives on in Firefox. Netscape was always the browser that just worked.

There’s ALWAYS been porn on the internet. It almost pre-dates man himself.
