Netscape was payware in the beginning? Not sure how that's non-existent? Even after they were forced to go free by Microsoft, they were selling servers which are the compliment of browsers.

Did anyone actually pay for Netscape?

  Yep, just about everyone who wanted to connect to and browse The Net over dialup in the mid-90s. It was conveniently sold at Price Club (which was eventually merged into Costco of today).

    Huh, I remember downloading it for free.

      Yes, the free downloads came later! Originally Netscape Navigator was a premium product. My dad paid $35-$50 dollars for it at Price Club. This amount is close to $80-$100 in today money.
