If you'd told me in 1994 that Netscape would be non-existent so soon, I'd have laughed at you.

A lesson for tech companies everywhere.

I’m surprised at how small a share safari has given the sheer number of iPhones out there.

I used Netscape for what seemed like years. Ran Firefox and Opera. Some Chrome, but mostly Edge nowadays.

happy to use whatever is the most popular at any given time. It will inevitably be the most functional and stable.

It’s rare that I find a website that breaks with safari, but when I do, chrome inevitably works.

[Mik]

I've been pretty happy with Edge and DuckDuckGo. Chrome is a big hog.

I knew someone around the year 2004 who worked for AOL (who I think owned Netscape at the time?). Anyway, they were asking me about an ad campaign to use Netscape and I was like "ummm, no one uses netscape anymore".

That’s what she said.

I didn’t know opera was around so long

In the early days of OS X, I used OmniWeb. It was developed by a team that used to develop software for NeXTSTEP.

I can't believe so few people use Lynx.

I used it - for about a week. Mosaic was revolutionary.

[Axtremus]

I used Lynx too, on VAX VMS, Sun Solaris, NetBSD, and Linux.

[taiwan_girl]

That is interesting, I have never used Chrome. Right now, Safari with Duck Duck Go as the search engine.

Maybe I will try Duck Duck Go as the browser.

I don't think there's a desktop version - yet.

Remember Cyberdog?

I used it.

I do as my moderator told me to do.

I use Brave for everything.
