AOL ditches Netscape

Posted by Muffuletta

As of Friday, AOL officially will end its support for Netscape, the fabled browser that helped transform cyberspace….

In 2003, … an investor in and proponent of open-source software … helped persuade AOL to spin off Mozilla.org with a $2 million cash cushion to become fully independent.

So AOL is ending support for the Netscape browser. Although I hark back fondly to Netscape, this is hardly earth-shattering news. The above-quoted San Francisco Chronicle article, however, has some interesting details of which I had been unaware.
