After years of fumbling with it, AOL is officially discontinuing the once mighty Netscape browser. In the four and a half years after they dismantled the development team and spun off the Mozilla Foundation as a lost cause, only to see Firefox take off like a rocket, AOL has unsuccessfully attempted twice to reinvent the wheel which in this case is netscape. There was the chameleon-like Netscape 8, which used both Mozilla's and IE's rendering engines, and just months ago they released Netscape 9, trying to ride the ever-so-popular social networking wave. AOL will release security fixes through February 1, 2008, after which the browser will officially be dead. For the "nostalgic," well they are now suggesting that you get firefox and throw a Netscape theme on it." Ahhh. The good 'ol days. Goodbye Netscape. It's been fun.
