It's over for Netscape, does anyone care?

Hello everyone:

Is it true? Is Netscape 7 the end of the road. I found two interesting links I thought you all might like to look at:

Hmm...what do you all think?

Cheers!

Opera 7 > Netscape, Explorer, Mozilla, Crazy Browser.

'nuff said.

I don't care. :p

i didn't know people really used netScrape anymore.

weird.

...just..weird.

Im with paavo.

Also anything involved with AOL should be dragged out into the street and shot point blank lol. It's also 1 less fecked up browser to alter our designs for!!

Opera Rules!

The good part is they are dumping Netscape and just donating some money to the gnu Mozilla project. yeah those freaking ads made it so I never would install that bloated piece of crap.

Good riddens

Nice little history and speculation on the future of web browsers by a pretty smart fellow.

It is probably for the best that netscape goes away. Except for the fact that the only two browsers people know about is IE and Netscape. Now when they hear netscape is dead, they'll all just move to IE.

Unless of course something is done to educate people on Firebird and Opera and mozilla and safari.

The new Mozilla page is getting there, but it stilll needs to be a LOT less developer and nerd and a lot more consumer oriented "hey, this is why you should use this. look at all the cool features! look at the pretty pictures" or people will be too intimidated.

And we have a window since IE won't be updated for another 3 or 4 years.

This may be a good idea: http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2003/07/17/BrowserDream

or maybe not. Who knows.
