Yep, that was what made everybody at my company immediately switch to Netscape. "Look, a browser that doesn't stop. You can read the page before images load!" And click to the next one.
- tpmx 4y agoDo you know/remember if the NCSA Mosaic 0.x/1.x (pre-Netscape) rendering/browsing process was non-async/blocking on X/Unix as well, and not just on Windows 3.x?

Too unstable and underpowered back then but it changed quickly. The Moore Law was strong at Intel in the 90s.
