The Netscape browser is dead
I remember using Netscape since its first version on a Windows 3.1 environment, with Trumpet Winsock.
For nostalgic people AOL suggests downloading the Mozilla Firefox and add the Netscape theme.

I'd grown very fond of Netscape itself in its early incarnation, but it didn't make the jump to Windows 95 very well -
I remember the joy of installation: having to install a new version at regular intervals as the current one was updated/expired, and noticing that the now useless previous version was not replaced, but hung around in software limbo...then trying to uninstall a version to free up some wasted space, and finding that it helpfully took half of Windows 95 with it (it uninstalled shared components without checking whether anything else was using them).
That was when I decided that as soon as IE achieved feature parity with Netscape it would be my preferred browser (I think that was around version 3.x)

I also well remember using Trumpet Winsock on Windows 3.1. What a mission that was. I also remember very well how unstable 'ol Trumpet Winsock was. Long live the old days!!
