AOL announces end of support for Netscape
AOL announced today that on February 1, 2008, it will stop providing support for any version of Netscape.
It could have meant something thirteen years ago, when it was my browser of choice, a nice competitor for Mosaic and a web technology driver. Or even ten years ago while IE was bullying it out of the game while it was struggling to develop Constellation, a so called and still vaporware “web OS”.

Netscape Navigator 9 Beta 1 released and reviewed
Continuing this week’s release spree, Netscape has released yet another version of the venerable Netscape Navigator.
Netscape Navigator 9 Beta drops support for Internet Explorer’s rendering engine (Trident) and is now Gecko only.
As expected, it is basically Firefox bundled with a number of add-ons some already available at Mozilla Add-ons, some general additions and some specially crafted to integrate with Netscape online services, along with a stylish theme that evokes previous Netscape versions.
URL correction, the new sidebar minibrowser, an option in the File menu to restart the browser, resizable textareas, OPML support for importing/exporting web feeds and the combined stop/reload buttons are all available as Firefox extensions or simple hacks almost all of them featured and reviewed here at Mozilla Links before.
