AOL has announced that from the 1st March 2008, Netscape Navigator will be no more. The once omnipresent browser of choice through most of the 1990s will still be around for those of you who still want to use it, but not as a fully-supported browser option.

Athough AOL announced the end of Netscape Navigator at the end of 2007, and then extended it, this time it is really real. The recent small update for Netscape 9 was released in order to help transition users to other browsers. AOL’s alternative browser of choice? Firefox, reports Ars Technica. The open-source browser has gained a lot of steam in the past few years, and AOL has turned much of its browser-centric attention to integrating with the Firefox browser as much as possible, which certainly makes my life easier as a Firefox user.

So for all of you who were once young teens knowing of nothing but the Netscape browser, just see how times have changed. And make sure you switch over to Firefox!
