R.I.P. Netscape Again?
December 29, 2007 (late morning)
AOL has declared Netscape dead. Has this not happened before? “AOL Cuts Remaining Mozilla Hackers” (2003)
Most people have considered it dead for quite some time. How many people have even heard of Netscape 9.0? Asking around, none of the developers I know have.
This might be the end of the AOL Netscape era, but certainly not the end of Mozilla. Anyone ever heard of Firefox? How about Seamonkey or Camino?

I have to say I am pleased for this to be officially dead—instead of the zombie that it was…
We’ve all seen websites that claim to offer Mac support—but only on IE and Netscape! Now we can finally tell those site operators that those two browsers really and truly do not exist and that they need to start supporting Safari and Firefox.
