Netscape Navigator, now owned by AOL, will no longer be supported after 1 March 2008, the company has said.
In the mid-1990s, as the commercial web began to take off, the browser was used by more than 90% of people online.

This is pretty funny, because just as Netscape is finally laid to rest, I switch to SeaMonkey!
After having had a hate relationship with Firefox for like a year, I decided to try SeaMonkey just for fun, and found it to be quite a bit faster on my computers (Both my desktop and my laptop), even though it's a "Internet suite", which surprised me quite a bit. Also, the first browser that I ever used (I got on the Internet in 1997) was Netscape Navigator at my city's library, and SeaMonkey is like a trip down memory lane, I mean even the icons are as they were! Cool stuff.
So anyway, long live SeaMonkey,
