From the mid 1990s when the Netscape Browser commanded over 80 percent of the market, its market share has reduced drastically in recent times.
On Feb 1, 2008, AOL will withdraw support on all versions of the Netscape Browser. The company is now urging users to migrate to Firefox instead.
From the mid 1990s when the Netscape Browser commanded over 80 percent of the Internet browser market, its market share has, in recent times, reduced drastically.
Bidding adieu to the veteran browser, lead developer, Tom Drapeau, wrote on the Netscape blog that AOL's focus on transitioning to an ad-supported Web business leaves little room for the size of investment that is required to get Netscape to a point many of its fans expect it to be.
There's always Opera too, its kinda like the mutant child of IE & FF

I use Netscape 7.2 on my iMac (operating system 10.3.9) as my browser. I pull up my comcast email on it. Will I be able to continue using this Netscape after 1 Feb?

Downloaded Firefox and found that it only imports favorites(bookmarks), passwords ETC from IE, not Netscape. Wonder if they are going to fix this.

I use Mozilla Firefox and I love it. Much better than IE. I suggest checking them out!
