Actually, an OS X user who has been 100% Microsloth-free since 1987.the elephant wrote:Say what you like. I just updated my very current and modern Navigator to the final version (barring any additional security patches). Just because you do not like it does not make it dead.
Netscape was and is still very much alive.
That stupid comment sounds like a PC user that hates that there are any alternatives to Windows/MSIE, or one of those childish Ford/Chevy "debates" held between two men wearing mullets.
And just so you know: I started using "Netscape" on my Mac back when it was still NCSA Mosaic, and continued using various iterations up through v. 7.2, the last version before AOL decided to make it Windows-only beginning with 8.0.Fact is, though, that beginning with 6.0, "Netscape" has been hitchhiking on Mozilla. AOL eliminated the Netscape division and laid-off or reassigned all Netscape employees in 2002/2003, so since then "Netscape" has existed in name only. So, at root, "Netscape Navigator" 8.x and 9.x are essentially Firefox and Thunderbird with a different skin.
