Firefox stays winning.
Whatever happened to Netscape?
Netscape was the sacrifice for Firefox. In the before times, there was the problem of slow and bloated browsers before memory was plentiful (and easy to download😉) so Mozilla created Phoenix which was a lightweight no frills browser that crashed every time I tried to open a jpeg with it, but other than that it was awesome and so much faster than IE or Netscape. Then due to a lawsuit, or threat of one, they changed the name to Firefox which stayed winning until about 3.5 when Chrome started really taking over in speed and abilities. :abe-simpson:
eh, netscape 4.7 was an incredibly fast and stable browser IIRC. but it was being left behind in the features department.
then the next netscape they released was called mozilla (and was a huge rewrite), which had all the features but was dog-slow.
THEN they released phoenix/firefox, which was somehow mozilla but not quite, and that was faster (but still nowhere as fast as netscape 4.7).
that’s how i remember it.
Firefox ftw.
but you’re missing Gamer Chrome (OperaGX), which is very sad
Using firefox is praxis
I’ve been using “Not Chrome” for 20 years and I’m not changing anytime soon. Always has been reliable for me. Though I wish they didn’t change their icon.
