AOL extends support for Netscape by one month
It really irks many users as they witness the fall of AOL’s browser Netscape. Last month AOL announced the end of support for the once-popular browser. But AOL has a few changes in the agenda. AOL recently announced that the closure of Netscape will be postponed to the 1st of February this year. They plan to extend the support period for a month and release an update for Netscape Navigator 9. The update will be powered by the browser update feature which in turn will cater to the future transitions between Netscape and other alternatives. Flock, a web browser built on Mozilla’s Firefox, has been a priority at AOL as they try to push the bar higher with their new found medium.
The reason for the closure of Netscape is said to be the lack of the investment necessary to get the software to the standard expected by fans did not fit in with AOL’s new focus as a web-based business. So its time to bid adieu to one of the most popular yet unsuccessful browser in the Internet history.
