It’s official. Netscape Navigator is officially dead.  AOL is killing all further development of the browser. All support will be officially shut off on February 1, 2008. It’s hard to believe there once was a time when Magazine covers loved to have a Netscape logo next to an Internet Explorer logo pitting them against each other. We all wondered who would win the browser wars.

After AOL took over the Netscape company, things just headed downhill. I think version 5 was when Netscape started sucking. Version 6 made things worse and totally sucked. It crashed all the time and performed slow. Things got so bad, AOL even refused to bundle Netscape Navigator with their AOL dial-up service. Rest in peace Netscape Navigator. We won’t miss you.
