I remembered when it was in the form of Mosiac. It was the only game in town for net browser (unless you count the old webcrawler.... )

I remember about 6 years ago when coders absolutely refused to code for NS4.7 and dismissed it as a waste of time with less ~ 3% using.
AOL used to use IE5 when I had them... -
Man, do they seriously overestimate MSIE's market share.
But yes, this is a truly sad occasion, although I kind of feel the real tragedy is that nobody is really going to notice that much. *stands silent for a few minutes in honour of Netscape*"It's getting to the point now when I'm with you, I no longer want to have something stuck in my eye..." -
- Sad - but eventually, the pioneers have to start dropping off. Wonder where we'd be without Netscape? Surfing MSN?

Here's the announcement from Netscape:

?? Hard to even see it as a loss, thing is most of the development simply moved to Mozilla/Firefox..
Most anyone who was using it and has the slightest clue on a computer has been on Mozilla/Firefox instead for years. Only people I know still using it at all are AOL people, can't think of anyone else that it would affect much at all.. -
They still make Netscape? Last I read it was just rebranded from some other browser anyway but i don't know that for a fact.

I've been using Firefox for a while now but it is sad in that there was a time when Netscape was "the shit" and to see it go from top-of-the-heap (even if it was the only real choice) to no-longer-made is a bit sad.
But things change ... such is life.
I'm happy with Firefox but some Linux distros also package Opera and Opera seems A-OK to me ... a bit faster even than Firefox ... but I rarely use it. One browser is enough for me.

Never really a fan, even in the early days. It always felt clunky and amateurish. Not a big fan of Opera either, although recent experiences with it have been limited to trying to get it to play nice inside a network protected by an ISA2004 firewall. Opera simply will not handshake with it, and requires python scripts and other silly things as a work around. If it can't do something that basic, I don't have time for it. FF will do me fine, and IE in a pinch.
