Netscape Navigator or simply Netscape was a popular and dominant web browser during the 90s. Its popularity evaporated in 2002 after Microsoft included its Microsoft Internet Explorer to Microsoft Windows Operating System and due lack of significant improvements.

Last December 28, AOL has stopped the development of the latest version of Netscape and on February 1, 2008 they will stop supporting the browser. However, Netscape will surely have its place in history. It will be remembered as the web browser who challenged Microsoft and the main component of Microsoft’s anti-trust trial where the court ruled that bundling Internet Explorer with Windows was an illegal monopolistic business practice.
