Netscape support to end tomorrow

Dear oh dear. The day has come for us to say a sorrowful goodbye to Netscape.

Our old friends at Netscape announced at the beginning of this year that it would be closing up shop at the once popular browser.

In its peak, Netscape was used by 90 percent of people but rival browsers, such as Internet Explorer, has see this figure fall to 0.6 percent. Ouch.

Netscape (currently in version 9) was first released in 1994 Marc Andreessen co-author of Mosaic and now, 12 years later, the company is recommending that it’s small number of users switch to either Firefox or Flock.

For those of you who have become quite attached to your old-school browser, the Netscape team recommend you update to Mozilla Firefox and add on the Netscape theme and Netscape extensions, so the 0.6 percent of you who use Netscape can get it here.

RIP Netscape.
