Browser Wars: How Netscape Changed the Internet Forever

16 Jun 2025

Description

Netscape Navigator, a pioneering web browser, revolutionized the internet in the 1990s. Founded by Marc Andreessen and James Clark, the company's innovative approach and bold IPO made it a household name. Despite its initial success, Microsoft's aggressive tactics, including bundling Internet Explorer with Windows, led to Netscape's decline. However, the company's legacy lived on through the open-source Mozilla project, which eventually gave birth to the Firefox browser. Today, Netscape's impact on the internet is still felt, with features like JavaScript, cookies, and SSL becoming cornerstones of the web. The story of Netscape Navigator serves as a testament to the power of innovation, competition, and the ever-changing tech landscape.
