I liked it, but by the moment I finally had internet at home Mozilla Suite had replaced it. In one of those "I'm bored" moments, some months ago I installed it to try those netscape only deprecated tags like blinking that allegedly annoyed the hell out of everyone. and playing midi files in the background with no way to disable it.

Back when there was no Private Browsing mode, my go to method was to install a copy of the older Netscape 3 Gold while the main browser was 4.x Communicator. Faster, simpler, and I would just uninstall it later...

This was the future. You'd stare at it for hours as it pulled stuff down. Or that little progress bar at the bottom. Maybe you were doing well and you got 6 KBps...

I love how it seems everyone refers to Marc Andreesson as some "crypto bro", completely forgetting that he was the big name in Mosaic and Netscape. rear end in a top hat deserves to be forgotten imo

I used internet explorer because I wasn’t cool. I only clicked my Netscape icon if I wanted to get so frustrated waiting for a loving page to load I would get out of my computer chair and go do something else.

AOL is like Kansas. When I installed Netscape for first time, I was in OZ

Somehow I developed the superstition that if I put the cursor on that progress bar, webpages would load faster. Just a teenage brain development glitch, like Alison Bechdel feeling the need to push "the stuff" out of the way for a while.

For me, it was wiggling the mouse cursor. I thought I was making it “think” faster when I seen the hourglass icon.

Take care with that! We have not fully ascertained its function, and the ticking is accelerating.
