| Good. It got bloated, and AOL didn't help anything. |

| I thought the release just before AOL was bloated, and I stopped using it then. AOL has destroyed it. |

| Netscape hasn't been in the chase for years, its about time for it to be taken out back and killed.
The person running Mozilla now used to work for Netscape.
Its not like any other browsers currently have a chance (IE has 85% of market, Firefox 13%, and Safari 2%). Also theres barely any money in it all, so theres not much incentive to run a browser.

| Netscape used the Gecko rendering engine anyway, so Firefox and Seamonkey really have taken over its demand. The Netscape blog actually recommends users download Firefox and even made a Netscape theme for it. |
