R.I.P Netscape Navigator [Nov. 1994 - Feb. 2008]

From Netscape Blog: “… we feel it’s the right time to end development of Netscape branded browsers, hand the reins fully to Mozilla and encourage Netscape users to adopt Firefox.”

The right time to stop development on Netscape was long ago!

Actually I’ve had to resort to using Netscape again. Both Firefox and Explorer (which I hate IE) don’t seem to work well when you run vista and do a lot of movie or tv watching over the net. They constantly crash or hang, Netscape tho is working just fine. So yeah while its old and sorta sad it can at least handle windows vista and flash and movies etc while the other two aren’t.

why don’t you just use Opera or Chrome/Iron?
the usage of Navigator these days is just a fetish.
