Netscape Browser Development to be halted

The Netscape browser was launched way back in 1994 and was for many years the leader in the web browser wars, but since being overtaken by Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and then acquired by AOL in 1999 Netscape Navigator has slowly disappeared off the browser charts.

The latest browser usage statistics show that the once dominant Netscape now navigates less that 1% of internet traffic. Internet Explorer commands over 75% of internet traffic while the relative newcomer and Netscape Navigator’s spiritual successor Firefox has captured 16 percent of the internet browsing pie. Come February 2008 all support for Netscape Navigator will be halted.
