Netscape Discontinued

Friday, February 29th, 2008 | Industry News | No Comments

Netscape Logo 

Netscape one of the first browsers on the web is now set to disappear.

Netscape Navigator, now owned by AOL, will no longer be supported after 1 March 2008, the company has said. In the mid-1990s, as the commercial web began to take off, the browser was used by more than 90% of people online.

Its market share has since slipped to just 0.6% as other browsers such as Microsoft’s Internet Explorer (IE) and Firefox have eroded its user base.  Impact Media Design test all future sites in various browsers across the platform. From here on we will start to phase out our testing with the browser to concentrate on current and future browsers such as “flock” which are becoming web 2.0 based and are still originally built using some of the underlying technologies of navigator.

BBC New Website 

Today saw the New BBC homepage go live. The redesigned homepage has been available to view under a BETA button on the homepage for a few weeks. The new site re-introduces the classic BBC analogue clock back to our screens and also displays many new fascinating features.Created by its own in house design team, the BBC guys have made critical additions like localisation and widget support. For us it’s a much needed improvement which will benefit site visitors from its new clean, open and user friendly interface.
