I didn't know this was a phase of it's existence
Yeah it went Mosaic, Netscape, Firefox iirc.
Edit: And I think Netscape was a full rewrite as mosaic was owned by the university it was originally coded in, again iirc. That was a LONG time ago.
Netscape was Firefox? Somehow I never learned that. I fuckin loved the little space animation when a page was loading.
That's because it's not true. Firefox was first called firebird for a brief time... Otherwise its most closely related to the Mozilla browser... Netscape and mosaic aren't even related to each other... I don't know what this guy is smoking.
