    Speaking of browser wars, Netscape lost...

    Netscape Browser to Die a Quiet Death in February 2008

    Tom Drapeau, AOL's director of the Netscape brand, announced in a blog post Friday that AOL will cease development on all Netscape web browsers on February 1, 2008. The company will continue to support the current version of the browser, Netscape 9, by releasing patches or security fixes until that date. After February 1, all development will stop.

    Drapeau recommends that anyone running a Netscape-branded browser make the switch to Mozilla Firefox, the open-source browser upon which the last few versions of Netscape have been based.

    I only recently found out that Firefox was related to Netscape... I like Firefox.

    I like the idea that FF came from Netscape people
