 Netscape Navigator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Netscape Navigator, also known simply as "Netscape", was a proprietary web browser that was widely used.
Netscape began to experiment with prototypes of a web-based system, known internally as "Constellation", which would allow a user to access and edit his files anywhere across a network no matter what computer or operating system he happened to be using.
Netscape, according to critics, was more interested in bending the web to its own de facto "standards" (bypassing standards committees and thus marginalizing the commercial competition) than it was in fixing bugs in its products.

 Netscape Communications Corporation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Netscape web browser interface was identical on any client computer, and Netscape later experimented with prototypes of a web-based system which would allow a user to access and edit his files anywhere across a network, no matter what computer or operating system he happened to be using.
This browser was subsequently renamed Netscape Navigator, and the company took on the 'Netscape' name on November 14, 1994 [1] to avoid trademark ownership problems with NCSA, where the initial Netscape employees had previously created the NCSA Mosaic web browser.
Netscape Browser 8's first public beta was originally also scheduled for this date but, due to unfixed bugs, its release was delayed to March 3, 2005.

 Web Browser History - First, Early
An open source version of Netscape was then developed called Mozilla, which was the internal name for the old Netscape browser, and released in 2002.
An open source version of the Netscape browser was released in 2002 was also named Mozilla in tribute to this early version, and then released as the quickly popular FireFox in November, 2004.
While not a unique browser in its own right, this product was a breakthrough because it distributed other browsers and made the web a lot more accessible to the home user.

 Viewable with Any Browser: Campaign
If you were referred here from a web site bearing the "Viewable With Any Browser" themed graphic or text, it means that the site author agrees with the campaign and is participating in the effort to discourage browser specific web design.
Note : You should choose one of the graphics from the Any Browser Graphics page and copy it to your web site directory, and modify the above code to match your setup and the graphic you've chosen.
I am very unhappy with the current trend towards web sites designing only for specific browsers and ignoring others.

 Opera Browser Tutorial
Opera has lower system requirements than the latest versions of Netscape or IE, which makes it a good browser for older machines.
Since most Web developers work with either IE or Netscape (often both), there were often compatibility problems between Opera and complex web pages--a problem excerbated by the often non-standard ways in which IE and Netscape treat such features.
While the Opera browser has several advantages over Netscape and IE, there are reasons it is a distant third in the browser wars.

 Save the Netscape Browser Petition
The Netscape 7.1 web browser continues to be offered for download from Netscape.com servers, yet AOL has not delivered the "security fixes" promised at the time of the layoffs.
We are requesting that you please consider the opinions of the loyal Netscape browser users, knowledgeable people, most of which started using the Netscape browsers way before AOL "discovered" the Internet, before sealing the fate of future Netscape browser developments.
The only work left for AOL's client division would be the "branding" of the Mozilla browser (with the Netscape logo, splash screen, and the addition of a few existing, tried, and working modules of code, like the Instant Messenger and ICQ engine).

 Welcome to the browser jungle, Safari CNET News.com
KHTML is a browser compliant with the World Wide Web Consortium’s HTML 4 recommendation and is designed for use with the K Desktop Environment (KDE).
While Safari amounts to another chip on Apple's shoulder, it represents a significant setback for Mozilla, the open-source browser development group funded by AOL Time Warner's Netscape unit that supplies the technology behind the Netscape browser, among others.
Microsoft's Internet Explorer currently is used by more than 90 percent of Web surfers, despite some minor gains in recent months with new releases from AOL Time Warner's Netscape Communications division, Norway's Opera Software, and the Netscape-backed open-source Mozilla project.

 WWW FAQs: What was the first web browser?
Netscape is the browser that introduced most all of the remaining major features that define a web browser as we know it.
Version 2.0 was the last version of Netscape to introduce a major feature of the web as we know it today; later versions improved reliability and stability and introduced features that did not catch on as standards for all browsers.
The original "WorldWideWeb" browser program had a graphical user interface and so on and is definitely recognizable to most people as a web browser.

 NodeWorks - Encyclopedia: SlipKnot (web browser)
This was done by executing the text-based web browser "lynx" on the UNIX host with command-line arguments indicating which URL to retrieve, and the filename to create on the UNIX host when the data was finally retrieved.
SlipKnot was one of the earliest World Wide Web browsers, available to Microsoft Windows users between November 1994 and January 1998.
While this text-based browsing was fine while web pages were text-only, Mosaic changed the browser and web-page landscape in 1993 by displaying and therefore encouraging graphical, multimedia and multifont web pages.

As has been the case since Netscape Navigator 6.0, the browser will be based on the latest version of the Mozilla browser suite, AOL spokeswoman Anne Bentley said.
