My first internet experience was using Netscape way back in 1995. It opened to our school homepage. There was a guestbook, and I always signed the guestbook then, so sometimes I do it several times a day (I was always rating my connection slow!)! Finally, got an email from our sysad about it, my first lesson in nettiquette.
My first Web experience was visiting grey-background web pages on the Philworld ISP on a Netscape 2. This was back in 1997. I moved on to Netscape 3 then IE 3, then IE 4, then IE 5 before going to Phoenix 0.3, the then Firefox, and never looking back.
I used to use Netscape composer to make simple web pages. It was free and easy to use.
so wala na palang netscape. pioneer sila ng browser technology mas nauna pa sa internet explorer.
@Gene: The first Web browser was NCSA mosaic, so I doubt Netscape was the pioneer in “browser technology.” But Netscape did bring the Web to the masses, although afaik, the browser was not freeware until IE became popular.
Netscape was the best. Compared to IE, it was a pretty lady. Microsoft killed it, everyone knows that.
IE is a bald guy with a beer belly.
First used Netscape in school, back in 1994. I was mostly in `lynx` then, so imagine my delight: images! colors!
honestly, i didn’t know the difference between netscape and iexplorer before, nor did i care. (we just use it to research on the net, back in the late 90’s.) I’m just a regular surfer and they were simply, just programs. so what if microsoft killed netscape? did they steal codes or infringe netscape’s license? all i know is that explorer and firefox are for free right now, and they should be, and i didn’t know netscape had been a business.
…although of course IE is bundled with an OS that is for sale, which i think was the main issue then.
netscape? *google* *google*
