It has officially been shelved.

But I will remember you, Netscape, the friendly browser. I remember being at university in 1998 and all the PCs had Netscape and not ie. I remember using ‘composer’ to create my first web page. Now things have moved on for us web designers, Dreamweaver, Ajax, flash etc.

Using Netscape to search in search engines, long before Google really took off, when the results for anything where generally limited to 10 or 20 returns. No web 2.0, I would not even say it was web 1.0.

We miss you Netscape.. But would I trade my Firefox in for you…. Hummm.. May be not… Would you?
