Last version of Historic Browser brand
cowlitzronApril 27, 2010
Pros
Opportunity to see how pages display in historic browser brand.
Cons
No support for CSS, frames, javascript, DOM, Java, Flash, XML. Buggy with tables.
Summary
It is a historic browser brand that was the first to display images on web pages. However, most web pages today, will not display right with this browser, and many web functions will not work with this browser. Almost nobody uses this browser anymore.

Developer’s Description

Netscape and Internet Explorer alternative

The Software Development Group at NCSA has worked on NCSA Mosaic for nearly four years and we've learned a lot in the process. We are honored that we were able to help bring this technology to the masses and appreciated all the support and feedback we have received in return. However, the time has come for us to concentrate our limited resources in other areas of interest and development on Mosaic is complete.
