Netscape Navigator, also known as Netscape, was a proprietary web browser that was popular during the 1990s. Once the flagship product of Netscape Communications Corporation and the dominant browser in usage share, its user base had almost completely evaporated by 2002, partly due to the inclusion of Microsoft's Internet Explorer web browser with the Windows operating system, but also due to lack of significant innovation after the late 1990s. Netscape's demise was a central component of Microsoft's antitrust trial, where the court ruled that (among other things) bundling Internet Explorer with Windows was an illegal monopolistic business practice.

    My first use of a web browser was Netscape Navigator 2.0. Continued on to version 3 and then I stopped at version 4 (Netscape Communicator) when I discovered some browser called "Internet Explorer 4."

    Netscape was cool until IE took over. They fought back with the Antitrust case but Microsoft kinda won and still is 75% of the browser share on the internet. Netscape is less than 1%.
