netscape was my first browser and preferred it over ie because it was “prettier”. i remembered that i was yabang pa because i was the first one who had netscape gold in our classroom.

Netscape was once the embodiment of the Internet world. It was my first browser.

Netscape was my first browser that I used when I was introduced to the internet. That’s where I first got my first email. Then at some point jimcaro@netscape.net was “confusing” their system so I had to comply to their suggestion, which was a disappointment. I didn’t realize that it will be an “omen” of things to come. AOL and Propeller took over and now this story of navigator being “terminated” Well, some good things have to end… may katapusan kaya ang Microsoft?? weheheh! joke lang (malay natin).

i have only used netscape for a very short period of time. it came in a CD when I bought a 56kbps modem when I was in college. So I installed it and found out that it’s a browser. then I tested the compatibility of my ASP project.

I used to prefer Netscape Navigator over other browsers, but that was almost 10 years ago. heh.

I guess my memorable experience with Netscape is the first time I was learning HTML. I was using Netscape Composer as it was a user-friendly editor perfect for newbies.

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.

First used Netscape in school, back in 1994. I was mostly in `lynx` then, so imagine my delight: images! colors!

Netscape was the best. Compared to IE, it was a pretty lady. Microsoft killed it, everyone knows that.

@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.

so wala na palang netscape. pioneer sila ng browser technology mas nauna pa sa internet explorer.

I used to use Netscape composer to make simple web pages. It was free and easy to use.

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.

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.
