Shit, I remember having to direct dial to servers and "surf" via ftp on a 9600baud (top of the line back then) modem. (That's 9.6Kb/s for you youngins. Average download speed = 950B/s). Almost a 1/2 hour to download a single FLOPPY.

netscape had a small market share because they were not bundled with an operating system. again, im not saying microsoft was in the wrong for bundling their own product (IE) with their OS. i am saying that netscape was a better browser that has a smaller market share because it was the 1990s and most consumers did not know what the hell the internet was yet. that hardly makes microsoft the reason the internet exists today.

IE was the undisputed the better browser. I remember having lots of problems with "bookmarks" in Netscape as opposed to IE's "favorites."

In 8-bit color? When you upgraded to IE, it must have blown your...mind. XD

IE crashed on every single computer in our school lab every day. i still remember the librarians insisting we use netscape when doing our online research.
 
Sure that wasn't Windows 9x's fault? IE7 CTD'd a lot but I don't recall any of the other IE versions having that problem.

Anyway, this is going off topic. :p

Bullshit. Netscape owned IE back then. It was so much better for absolutely everyone I know that tried it.
 
Better than IE4, yes, better than IE5, no. I used Netscape back in 1996 or so through 1998-1999.
