I remember the name from the 90's. I'm not sure what caused me to remember it, but anyway I looked it up and apparently it has been reformed into Mozilla Firefox. But on the other hand, there is also a current website for Netscape.
FireFox is the Netscape web browser. The Netscape brand and other products were sold to AOL. AOL then used Netscape (Firefox) code to create a new Netscape browser, but it has been discontinued.
Marc Andreeson is the originator (?) of Netscape. Before that was Mosaic, after was Firefox. Seems I read something about he had a toy dinosaur he called Mozilla on his monitor, thus the name.
Interesting note, around that time MicroSoft introduced a brower... a really cheesy thing call Internet Explorer. MS wasn't interested in further developing the thing claiming that the internet wasn't that big a deal.
I remember creating my geocities web page in netscape navigator.
I had a homepage, with links to stuff and everything. At the top I had an LED sign that scrolled across the page. I could change the script everyday to say something different. Looking back, I had the first TWITTER account.
My (so called) friends would just screw up their faces like confused and say 'What?'
Yep, I remember Netscape well and the breathing N icon. The Seamonkey browser (from the Mozilla family) feels to me like the old Netscape browser to a degree. Seamonkey even has an HTML editor in the suite.
