Netscape no more

29 February 2008 by Simon Mone

I first used the internet in 1994 and the browser that I and almost everybody else used was Netscape Navigator. I built my first web site using netscape composer and have been winging it ever since.

Today I learned that AOL, owners of Netscape since 1994, have announced its end of life. It will be supported for a while but no more development. Users are expected to move to Firefox or maybe one of the new generation of browsers like Flock.

I don't feel any sadness about the demise we have Firefox and that is the Netscape legacy but it's a shame there's been so little real standards implementation in browsers and that is probably as a result of a lack of competition.

Im no expert, but I think you just made the best point. You obviously know a lot about what youre talking about, and I can really get behind that. Thanks for being so upfront and so honest about the subject matter. I really feel like I have a better understanding now.

"I noticed this content page on Obama and unpaid debt decrease is it correct? Are persons below $10,000 able to get it much more lower? I hear so many things, I do not know what to think."

Have you ever considered adding more videos to your blog posts to keep the readers more entertained? I mean I just read through the entire article of yours and it was quite good but since I'm more of a visual learner,I found that to be more helpful well let me know how it turns out!
