    Final Farewell to Netscape Navigator ...



    A web browser that gave many people their first experience of the web is set to disappear.

    Netscape Navigator, now owned by AOL, will no longer be supported after 1 March 2008, the company has said.

    In the mid-1990s, as the commercial web began to take off, the browser was used by more than 90% of people online.

    Its market share has since slipped to just 0.6% as other browsers such as Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE) and Firefox have eroded its user base.

                                  My first browser was NCSA Mosaic. I almost died and went to heaven when I downloaded Netscape 1.0. And not to be dramatic, but after seeing a few sites in 1.0 I made a career change, quit school and became a web dude.

                                          4.08 was still the best of the Navigator series. 4.5+ was so god damn crashy.

                                                          They cut their own throat when they set it up so you had to log into the browser. That was the last time I ever used it what ever version that was. It took everything over like a virus too..

                                                          as a side not I can't believe they didn't just sell it.
