From Twitter I was sad to be reminded of Netscape 4, a late and bloated mess that shipped first on Windows. Not Netscape 2 or 3, which were baseline here.

- jldugger 7y agoEven netscape navigator 2 supported[1]: - ftp uploads - email - nntp It also launched javascript, but I think we can agree that isn't bloat. But you're right, I totally forgot about the time in which Navigator was sold, rather than given away[2]. Please forgive me, this was a time before the PC in my childhood home had TCP internet, so I was more reliant on libraries and school labs at the time.
