Netscape
Internet
browser first introduced as Mosaic Netscape 0.9 on October 13,
1994, Netscape is an Internet
browser that was popular during the early 1990's and was in a constant browser
war between Microsoft Internet Explorer. The popularity and use of Netscape
continued to decline in the late 1990's, which helped with the open source
Mozilla project and then the acquisition on November 24,
1998 by AOL
for an estimated value of $4.2 billion.
As of March 1, 2008 Netscape is no longer supported and is rarely used although can still be downloaded. In the picture to the right, is an example of what the final version of Netscape Navigator looks like opening the Computer Hope web page.
Consider Mozilla Firefox when looking for an alternative browser or upgrade.
