An Internet browser introduced as Mosaic Netscape 0.9 on October 13, 1994, Netscape was popular during the early 1990s and in a browser war with Microsoft Internet Explorer. The use of Netscape declined in the late 1990s, which led to the open source Mozilla project and Netscape's acquisition on November 24, 1998 by AOL (America Online) for $4.2 billion.
