Netscape Is Dead! Long Live Netscape… er Firefox! January 31, 2008
Posted by Matthew Woolums in History.trackback
In case you hadn’t heard yet, the Netscape browser will officially pass away February 1, 2008. I remember it well, and even remember the earlier Mosaic browser. While this momentous event could provide the opportunity to wax nostalgic for the ‘good old days’ of Gopher or Archie, lets not forget that good code never dies, it just gets forked. In other words, check under the hood of Firefox, which apparently as many as 30% of you are using, and you’ll find more than a little Netscape under the hood. Any way, in honor of the passing of Netscape, let’s all roll our browsers back to gray time, when bookmarks were precious, and to ability to write html code made it seem like the world could be your audience.
