I feel like if you're going to have a browser named after something as legendary as Netscape, you should at least have the decency to not use Chromium as its base.

At least make it firefox based, so you have some netscape lineage

IIRC the last versions of Netscape were based on the Mozilla Suite (and later, Firefox).<br>So I guess they could have used the FF engine, but maybe it's somehow harder to develop for? Idk.

So I guess they could have used the FF engine, but maybe it's somehow harder to develop for? Idk.

Or if it is chromium based, atleast customize it and change features like Edge, Opera, OperaGX, etc

@@Shadowility I wouldn't consider Opera since it's closed source and who knows what they're using our info for

Chromium isn't that bad though, even if we consider that Google is the one in most control of the source code. Edge is a decent browser, even though I don't use it myself, and there are plenty others.

@@ChocoRainbowCorn For most people, maybe, but for me Chromium by itself is bad. Even ignoring the monopoly set by Google, the whole thing is slow and memory inefficient vs Firefox. The only reason why I haven't switched yet from modern Edge is because transferring passwords and browser history is impossible via official methods. (In case you couldn't tell, I do miss the old Edge and I find it a shame that the world deprecated it so quickly)

Most people still consider Firefox as the true successor to NetScape, so I think you can see why people look at the fact weird.

@@mix3k818 Isn't Firefox known for using more memory than Chrome or Chromium though? Aside from that, I respect a different take. But also yes, I too, do wish that Microsoft didn't give up on old Edge. It's always better to have more choices than less.

@ChocoRainbowCorn  I still remember the day my PC's Edge switched to Chromium. My browsing immediately got slower vs with Spartan Edge.

I did hear Firefox is mainly worse at dealing with many tabs, but it was problematic for me regardless, so I may need to buy more RAM eventually (my laptop has 8GB).

The actual worst part though is that they took away the ability to save sessions with one button press and on demand (session save after closing doesn't count). I was hoping that Microsoft would restore it eventually, but sadly that never came. The closest I have to this option is via the Session Manager plug-in and at that point I might just as well use Firefox.

@@und4287 It is not entirely harder to develop for Firefox. They could have used added extensions and userChrome. Some good examples are Zen Browser(which is it's own browser), Geckium(which is a userscript and a few file replacements), and others.

@@mix3k818 Fair enough, no problems. Thanks for taking your time to write this all out :)

but firefox is broken to the core missing web features, hell freaking fedex is broken on firefox xD

@@oCMSo firefox is definitely not broken. Some lazy web developers test their site only against the most popular browser (once it was IE, than FF, now it's Chrome). Different browsers handle HTML, JS, CSS differently, so if you develop with only one browser in mind you risk to break your site for the other browsers. When I was a web developer I made the same mistake, I tested only Firefox and my web application didn't work properly with Chrome.

AOL actually shipped a "Netscape Navigator 9" in 2007 that was basically a reskin of Firefox 2.  Before that, they were based on Mozilla Suite, itself basically descended from the commercial Netscape Communicator (4.x) source code but with the rendering engine modernized into Gecko.

@@oCMSo chrome is the new internet explorer

@@oCMSo From the vast majority of the Internet, not really.

I mean, there are missing features, but they're really not a dealbreaker for me.

@@und4287 nope, there are plenty of Firefox forks too such as LibreWolf.

Making your own browser is incredibly difficult in this day and age. There's literally hundreds of pages of standards you need to work with if you want things to function. There's a pretty good reason all new browsers bar a handful are chromium.

They could've at least tried to go with a gecko (aka firefox) fork, or an opera fork, but sadly, they chose the laziest option: chromium fork.

It's sad seeing netscape being used in this way. Netscape is dead a long time ago, stop desecrating it's corpse by incorporating chromium to it, and PUPs too.

Really? I always thought opera was it's own thing. Did opera nowadays also decided to go with chromium too?

It's very sad. I just hope the gecko doesn't die and mutates into a chromium fork too, however, the sad thing is, the gecko might die and become chromium soon, because many, MANY browsers are all becoming more and more chromium forks.

As for gecko forks, there's barely any, other than librewolf, or pale moon.

Maybe one day, gecko forks will become popular, once people manage to find out some sort of obscure, severe vulnerability in it, that can't be patched or whatever.

@@Wake_up._This_isnt_your_world Yes. They are also chrome raskin now. Well at least there is no worse performing browser then google chrome itself...yet.

@@Wake_up._This_isnt_your_world Opera started as its own, but shifted to make it Chromium-based. I think and hope Firefox won't become Chromium-based as it would be a loss of history, as Firefox is based on the original source code of Netscape Navigator.

@everypizza  Mozilla is no longer developing Servo. In fact, they said it wasn't meant to be a drop in replacement of Gecko

@@Wake_up._This_isnt_your_world is it even possible to do an opera fork ? It’s closed source soo

@@foxypiratecove37350 Mozilla ditched the Netscape codebase years and years ago. People seem to still hail Firefox as some savior (I used to be a diehard user myself) but their practices are shady AF these days. Several years back they got caught bundling a spyware addon with new installs in Germany, through a partnership with a known malware distributer. And recently they started in on their own user tracking while claiming it was the exact opposite to "ensure" your privacy. Here's the thing with Mozilla: It's comprised of two companies. The Mozilla Foundation and the Mozilla Project. One is not-for-profit, the other is 100% for profit. Guess which one hides behind the other? And when the former CEO was kicked and replaced, the new CEO's entire goal was to maximize their profits. The old devs who actually cared about users and safety were also replaced in time. Today's Mozilla is nothing like the old one.

@@Wake_up._This_isnt_your_world Unpatchable software vulnerability? You have no idea what you're talking about. That's not how it works. They would need to make a deliberate terrible ethical decision in the direction of their product, like X using their user-generated content to train AI or Microsoft shoving CoPilot+ and Recall down people's throats. And even then most people wouldn't stop using it because its only meaningful alternative has no marketing. In reality, you need activism to get people on board of using Firefox & forks.

Truth. AVG and CCleaner are two great examples of this.


Firefox is open source so they could have just used that codebase if they wanted something closer to old netscape navigator

If they wanted to be more authentic to Netscape Navigator, they should have forked Mozilla Firefox. Firefox is an indirect successor to Navigator, so there is metaphorical blood there.

My pedantic nature is kicking in with this too. They are calling this browser "Netscape" when the company was called Netscape, the browser was called Navigator, the same as Microsoft's old Internet Explorer isnt just simply called "Internet" or "Microsoft Web Browser".

In the Chromium fork scene, you have two kinds of forks:
  - The ones that wants to serve a legitimate purpose like Brave, Vivaldi, Supermium, ...
  - And the others that just want to take you for a fool.


Alas, AOL has been advertising junkware in with their products since the late 2000s, good to see that hasn't changed much. Ever since AIM shut down and their chat rooms disappeared from AOL Desktop Gold (their current desktop client for the remaining AOL subscribers), AOL is practically on life support, so they keep advertising even more blatant junkware to stay alive.


Netscape never left, they just changed the name to Firefox.


Curious... These terms of service are for Verizon, they owned AOL back a few years ago, but not anymore. These "project" can be a few years old.


The only true successor to Netscape is Firefox. The Mozilla Suite (the predecessor of Firefox) had the code base of Netscape. It was the same product. And Firefox was created from that.


At this point making an own Chromium fork is gonna be more useful, less sketchy and less bloatware overall

Couldn't they let the name rest in peace? As someone who loved the original browser before Microsoft bullied it out of business, this is just so sad. Hopefully this fails and goes away quickly.

I actually have Netscape Navigator 9 installed on my computer. It's the last version before it got discontinued back in '08 and it's so out of date I can't use it to browse the web because the security patches aren't recognized. I just keep it for nostalgia and I smile whenever I see the icon. I consider the smile worth the space it takes up on my hard drive.


Netscape Netscape is actually still around as SeaMonkey. It's the most direct successor to it since it's been the same codebase since 1998.


"In my age" this browser is literally for this solo reason, "In my age".


I wish I was around during the Windows 95 and Netscape golden days; they seem fun :(


3:59 i thought that WAS chrome until you mentioned it


The outdated marketing of that AOL shield thing, with the super old chromium design and the old logos makes me think this chromium Netscape has been around for a long time


They had 2 choices:
Literally netscape navigator
[insert buzz lightyear meme]


I haven’t watched you in a while but your english has improved alot!


I remember in the early 90s when Netscape was the go-to browser. Microsoft was at war with Netscape, even going so far as to add code to Windows that prevented Netscape from being installed. Microsoft got into a lot of trouble with the US government over hostile practices. Microsoft was ordered to remove the code and open up Windows. Back in the day, Microsoft wanted to be the only computer software company.


Firefox evolved from Netscape. At least make it Gecko based!


The reason it asked for a reboot is you had Netscape open and it shares directories and files thus preventing full deletion.  In that situation a task is scheduled to be run on reboot since the app will be closed.


AOL Shield did have one extra setting so AOL Shield is an upgrade for "Netscape" that... attempts to convince you to purchase even more upgrades. Wow.


*Netscape turned into Mozilla in the 2000s.


YouTube doesn't even let me type the browser name these days, which is quite frustrating on retro tech channels.


I just woke up from a nightmare where I ran this in a VM, it breached containment, and I got a nasty ransomware. I'm going to take that as a bad omen and just not lol.


4:06 OH MY, ENDERMAN IS LITHUANIAN 🗣 🔥 🇱🇹


Maybe I can shed some light on this. AOL's bread and butter for the last couple of decades has been appealing to and hand-holding people who are not tech-savvy and of course charging them for this, "AOL Shield" for example. Way back in the day the AOL desktop software had a built-in browser so you could open the web from directly within it. Originally they used Internet Explorer. At some point around the late 90s/early 2000s (IIRC) they purchased Netscape and ditched IE in favor of it. They made a BIG deal about this and splashed the Netscape logo everywhere. It was also displayed in various areas of the desktop client. So what you likely have here is AOL hopping on the Chromium bandwagon and throwing in the Netscape logo to look familiar to users of their desktop software (which was renamed AOL Gold and now carries a MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION FEE despite requiring you to bring your own separate ISP service to use it.) So this "new" browser, shady? Well, as far as AOL's typical behavior is kind of shady to begin with anyway, but I don't think it's malicious or malware.

Also, side note: IE didn't beat Netscape just because it started being preinstalled with Windows. It actually started doing that before because previously browsers were not free software. They were paid software. Imagine downloading Chrome and when you started to install it you got a box asking for your serial key you purchased from Google for $40. Yeah, that's how browsers used to be. I know at least one had an ad-supported option (Opera) where if you didn't pay it displayed a very large banner ad across the navigation buttons. I dealt with that back in the day, it was annoying. Until I found a working keygen ;) Don't blame me I was a teenager without a lot of money to blow on random stuff. But anyway Microsoft decided to release their new browser completely free of charge, which was seen as a revolutionary and crazy idea. And BAM, nearly instant market domination. It later being bundled with Windows just cemented its win against other browsers but by that time they already had the majority of the market.


They should rebrand as Netscrap, Netscrape, or Netscam. Or they could also try Gecko…


"It might be a potentially unwanted chromium fork"<br>as far as i'm concerned, all chromium forks are unwanted chromium forks

"It might be a potentially unwanted chromium fork"
as far as i'm concerned, all chromium forks are unwanted chromium forks


yeah, deffintly suspicious? next video: i decompile netescape  and i found malware☠☠☠


aol, yahoo, netscape... the old internet seems to be coming back for revenge


Netscape is used as a nostalgia bait Trojan horse to upsell you on AOL Shield. No wonder why Yahoo! and AOL are two brands that nobody cares about.


I'm saddened when I learned that it's a chromium fork. At least make it based on Firefox... (considering that Firefox is a spiritual successor to it)


the real "new netscape" would be firefox as it is built on top of the netscape codebase. (I think)


sentrybay is a british security company based in london and its wierd that they made the installer


we had Netscape navigator preinstalled on our computer growing up. I used it a couple of times but I used Internet explorer most of the time and found no need to keep Netscape on the computer.


Like windows 7 ,, Windows 10 will end in 2025 October.


That is disgusting that its a chrome fork, Netscape should be a Firefox fork considering originally Firefox was a Netscape fork.


The OG Netscape got the last laugh over IE when IE became known as "that thing you use to download Firefox" (Firefox being based on the Netscape code).


Screw the new Netscape, I'll stick with my installation of the original, thank you very much.


If they're going to use the Netscape name they could at least base it off Firefox.


What's your pc specs? And why it's look very fast?


AOL and Netscape used to be good names and browsers in the computer industry now they are crappy chromium forks that only changed the branding... what has happened to this world


Idea: install Windows 7 to con again, but install it normally, then move it to con, this gives you an Windows installation where much more stuff works


I remember Netscape from the 90s, its downfall and the rise of Firefox. That its name would resurface now as a lousy chrome fork is a real joke and whoever thought that up should be ashamed of themselves... <br>The "real" Netscape lives on in Firefox and its forks, and I really hope that Mozilla can win back a bigger slice of the browser market after all the crap Google has been pulling with Chrome/Chromium (manifest v3...).

Having that massive brand available and then doing THIS with it feels like a crime, a sin, or a curse.


the new intro came back, would you look at that


But wasn't Firefox the new version of Netscape? Like, netscape's code became open source and that's where Firefox came from - it's the best and most well-supported fork of Netscape's code


SentryBay: "Defence beyond protection"
Also SentryBay:
(Wasn't the last version of Netscape version 9 or something?)


Anti-ransomware in a browser? This is one of the funniest jokes in 2024 ngl.


So that's why M*crosoft shouldn't have been sued in 1999


Netscape before has great user interface and Buttons. sad to see they now just a Chromium fork.


are you planning on creating a Q&A? If yes, I have 2 questions: what was you're first programming language that you learned, when did you start programming


I don't think that it was made by the same devs of the original netscape, it seems that some random just slapped the netscape logo on a cromium engine and called it netscape, if you want to have a browser that looks like netscape there's pale moon wich is a mod for firefox


Edge started as its own engine while the latest version of Internet Explorer was still kept around for compatibility reasons. It didn't start as a Chromium mod.


they did a fire job w/ the prompting for the ai upscale of the Netscape logo tho. LOL


Your malware watch website has a problem it says it has useroverflow but it doesnt show it when i look andrew fix this please


All they did is switch search engine, logo and name and to top it all out the logo isn't even assigned when you open the browser, it's just a blank document


what is in "aol security" in settings tho


All of those company names basically boil down to the numerous sales that AOL and Yahoo have been a part of over the years.  The SentryBay connection seems to be only that they developed the security tools bundled into the fork; they're a legitimate enterprise IT security company focusing on hybrid and remote working environments.  Honestly, bundling is nothing new for the AOL brand; they've been doing that since the 90's.  Netscape did it quite a bit, too, in their later years.


the fact that it's just chromium with minimal changes is hillarious


Make a new browser ❌<br> a skin for firefox✅

Yeah, if it was a Firefox clone with the original branding, I would at least consider installing it. With it being a Chromium clone though, I don't think I will.


Hey Enderman! How's life going up recently?


9:35 they even forgot to change that chrome icon


Video idea: put the recycle bin inside the recycle bin


4:34 when I saw the Google Logo in the Settings, I laughed so hard, dam they really just Copy and Pasted it and just changed the name

edit: I also see "chrome://settings/" LMAO


The fact that they have like 8 years worth of older corporate names scattered all over this pretty much confirms it's a low effort reskin meant to leech off the name, most likely trying to cash in off the current wave of '90s nostalgia.


What is this extension for your tabs called? The one that is most of the time invisible unless you click a hotkey or so? the one on 6:26

Bruh. That’s not an extension, it’s his VM manager (I think this one is VMware) showing all of the VMs he has available, because he’s definitely not installing that crappy chromium fork on his main computer.


The LAST thing i need is more Chrome on my computer. Thanks for the warning! I'll stick with Firefox.


every few months i re-remember this channel lol


Chromium with different all logos and names, search engine. Wow. They didn't even change the Settings page URL like Brave did (brave://settings), it's still "chrome://settings" on both "AOL" and "Netscape" browser.


Strange choice of Chromium as a base for the browser which was a father of SeaMonkey and grandpa for Firefox.


Sentrybay seems to be who Citrix are today, who were also somewhat important at the time netscape was relevant


This is so sketchy but i honestly have no idea what to feel about this cause it's on the offical netscape site which is maintained by aol which is a part of yahoo which is owned by verizon why was this okay'd is it just a work in progress? Or did some random employee go rouge and do this behind verizon's backs

Netscape, a name I haven’t heard in years


It's kinda sad to see former big names of the Internet being used for phishing stuff now.


i wonder why not use gecko, because firefox came from netscape


3:26 for a moment i thought it was actually opened in my computer


This is just like when Rockstar released the GTA Definitive Edition and used Unreal Engine 4 and an underpowered studio to make a shitty nolstagia product. And because it is a different engine the original touch was all gone. Nostagia bait is just scummy if not scamming people.


Netscape's back? It just changed its name to Firefox and never left...


I'm curious, my friend, which operating system do you use as your main operating system ?


2:30 Verizon doesn't even own AOL and Yahoo! any more!


Is the audio balance off? Left side seems louder.


At least they removed the paywall for the Netscape fork

4:01, btw why is this Lithuanian, is this your VPN your using?


The funny thing is, if you want a modern Netscape... Then just use Firefox, it was literally made from open sourced Netscape code that Netscape themselves released like right before or after AOL acquired them. Granted I have no idea how much of Netscape is left in Firefox but still


No way Sean 'Diddy' Combs is the headline on the first broll.


You’d think “netscape is back” would just be Firefox, but apparently not


They could have used Seamonkey/Firefox with a custom theme to keep it similar


I just want a browser extension that gives me the animated Netscape logo


4:00 yo, this text is in Lithuanian lmao. It was surpising to see that.

They literally took the Chrome code and only changed the logo 🤣🤣


Scraping the bottom of the barrel is too kind, they are taking a pickaxe to the bottom of the barrel.


You know, there are some Chromium based browsers that are literally just bad. At least they like, change the UI, even make their own UI. Cuz that, is literally just Chromium, like, no difference. It's the same thing. This is worse then internet explorer (that you can still open with powershell btw).


The real irony of his whole thing is that Netscape's code has been a part of Mozilla's web browsers since Netscape was toast.  This thing being Chromium is just silly.

Why would anyone prefer using Netscape over Chrome? Honest question. Netscape is LITERALLY Chrome with just a custom homepage which is just adware.


Netscape is just a bad copy of google chrome


Netscape is Back !
Netscape is Back ? ？？。。。I almost forgot Netscape ! 。。。That was almost 30+ years ago while I am started to own a PC and using 【 Internet  Explorer 】1st time !
I do remember that Netscape wanted to 【CHARGE a FEE】 to use it , while  Internet  Explorer is 【FREE to download】 !
【CHARGE a FEE】 to use it ？。。。。。。。That KILL it ! 。。。。I suppose NO ONE using it today !!! 。。。。。。。。👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😁🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


Эндерманч я знаю что ты русский ты давал интервью в видео про виндовс 10 от Daniel Myslivets и ты говорил на русском снимай видео на русском или сделай дубляж ролика!


I wish I knew how to code, bc I could probably make a better revival of Netscape Navigator using the Gecko codebase. At least then it'll be better than this garbo.


netscape opensourced it code many years ago and became firefox.<br>anything else using the same brand is just an scam.

Who thought that this was a good idea? They should be fired for doing this lol


This is the sh*tiest browser I've ever seen 😂


Why not use Firefox's engine? Or Mozilla's? It's NetScape, FFS.


Nope from me, I'm already using Netscape (aka Firefox)


It's not Chrome, it's a version of Chromium that is open source and can be used for commercial rights.<br>Netscape browser stopped it's development long ago, I don't understand the point of this video, it would be cool if you showed the version through out the years and compare them, this was just a video showing how a company (Verizon owned) and it's 3rd parties built a browser, congrats.

Also, they didn't copy the "AOL Shield Browser", the AOL Shield runs inside a sandbox environment, making it secure for certain types of attacks through downloads, cookies and so on. I think a bit a research if missing before making the video...

@@v-14415 Did you even read what I said?

@@LidiaFonseca-xg1iq Chrome and Chromium are basically the same thing.

@@LidiaFonseca-xg1iq Chrome is Chromium. There's no difference whatsoever; Chromium is the engine Chrome runs in. What AOL/Yahoo did was just paste the entire source code of Chromium with little to no change in the code and call it theirs.

@@v-14415 Get your facts straight before assuming stuff, but, either way, doesn't make the point of this video any more accurate than a throw off hands with not comparison, history, and so on.

@@LidiaFonseca-xg1iq you read like chatgpt with a "be contrarian" prompt
also both of those browsers are from sentrybay, who yahoo contacted to reskin one of their products
proof: the download link links to sentrybay's website with different "licensor" url parameters


this is likely a cheap version of chrome


No taskbar icon and not even a Netscape like theme. Zero effort and zero point. 🤦♂

@@Purr-FurryKit1726 The number 1 is one of the most fundamental and important concepts in mathematics, as well as in various disciplines like philosophy, computer science, and physics. It represents a single unit, often viewed as the first and smallest positive integer in the sequence of natural numbers: 1, 2, 3, and so on. It serves as a cornerstone for many mathematical operations and properties.

In arithmetic, 1 is known as the multiplicative identity, meaning that any number multiplied by 1 remains unchanged. For example, . This property makes it crucial in algebra and higher mathematics, where maintaining the integrity of equations and expressions is essential.

From a symbolic perspective, 1 is often associated with concepts of unity, individuality, or a starting point. In binary systems used in computing, it plays a key role as one of only two digits (0 and 1), forming the foundation for all digital computations.

In geometry, a unit length or a basic measurement is often represented as 1. In set theory, a set with exactly one element is said to have a cardinality of 1.

Culturally and philosophically, the number 1 has been seen as a symbol of wholeness, the origin of all things, or a singular entity that forms the basis of complex systems. It holds significance in religious texts, where it can signify unity or the divine.

Thus, the number 1 is not just a simple numeral but a powerful and multi-dimensional concept that plays a vital role in understanding and organizing the world.

I rather build my personal web browser from Python than to install this fossil wannabe browser.


could there be a legal reason why they used chromium?

like who would think of remaking netscape but use chromium and leave Firefox, it's literally modern netscape

I'd just assume ease. Nearly all browsers on the market now are Chromium based for this reason.


Парни, он русский

this is the absoulute crappy and shitty chromium


Verizon owns AOL and by extension Netscape iirc

EDIT: oath is aol/yahoo iirc


0:49 lost interest to continue the video


Not related to the video but can you run a full windows 10 build on a USB flash drive?


The closest relative to the OLD Netscape browser that is still being updated is SeaMonkey.    It's fairly fast too in the testing I've done.


Bruh, how many companies own Netscape?
Website: Copyright Yahoo
Name: AOL_Netscape
About browser: Copyright Oath Inc
Terms of Service: Verizon Media


Did not except Verizon to stoop so low as milking their dead brands, AOL, Yahoo and Netscape by selling lazy spyware skins of chromium and weird anti-virus software lol


make a windows 10 vm and go to C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer on the file explorer and try to install the ie


Fuck Chromium. Firefox all day every day till they forcibly take it from my cold dead millennial hands. 🤷


The only good option is FireFox this is just Edge and Chrome all over again...


any time some shitbag company tries to shove something with an old name down your throat in the stupid modern age, its a scam. its garbage and they're looking to swipe some money off of you by fooling you into going "oh i remember that". if the things that aren't merely pre-garbage are ever coming back to this fucking 2010s wasteland shithole of bleak colorless faux-minimalism, they're not going to advertise on nostalgia and its going to come from something local or regional, NEVER a national-size corporation. but also, if its some idiot with a 3d printer who thinks he can change the world, don't believe him either because 3d printing is a prototyping technology and anyone passing what's made with it as a finished product is also a grifter. turns out we like the old stuff because the new stuff sucks ass and doesn't meet our needs. corporations don't care. learn to actually determine what it is you want out of the things in your life and stop giving the things that don't give you want you want space in your life "just because".


Netscape was awesome but you had to install a bunch of extra programs just for websites to display correctly and some of those programs had a fee and Netscape wasn’t free and of course it was built from Mosaic the first web browser that was shipped with ISPs like AOL and Compuserve and others.


Hi Verizon is two companies. The first company is a wireless cellular company or yes you can get an iPhone from them and you can run your phone your iPhone on Verizon. The second company is Verizon FiOS, which is what I have. It is a fiber company I wouldn’t say cable company, but a fiber company you can say cable company and traditional TV phone Internet Company. It’s another one of those. I don’t know if you know this time warner cable or spectrum cable is a cable company that offers used to offer home phone Internet and TV but I think they moved away from home phone and they now do spectrum mobile so they still have telephone services but they have Cellular services not plug your phone into the phone jack in the wall in your kitchen anymore like they used to. So Verizon again is a phone/fiber company so they are all legitimate business. I have them and I love their fiber service their Verizon FiOS driver services. I’ve had no complaints with them. I’ve had one outage since I’ve had them and they’ve never dropped service compared to spectrum which constantly drop service and I constantly had to reset my router


Fucking AOL need to put some respect on the name of Netscape. Firefox is its real successor


"You traded my online security for a shitty retro browser!"<br>"Not just any retro browser. Netscape Navigator. Remember Netscape? It's back, in chromium form."

"Not just any retro browser. Netscape Navigator. Remember Netscape? It's back, in chromium form."


Verizon Media was acquired by Apollo Global Management in 2021. Idk what you have going on here. Yahoo is also involved—at least the trademark and other patents.


Oath Inc,  is what AOL was renamed to when Verizon merged it with Yahoo in 2017. It was renamed a few years later as Verizon media. Verizon sold the company and renamed it to Yahoo in 2021.

It looks like Sentry Bay are the ones actually responsible for developing the modern "Netscape" or should it be "Notscape" browser for AOL/Yahoo.


Man, Verizon has over 100 billion dollars, they could've afforded to build a whole new browser from nothing, yet they chose to make crap. They could've built something to include by default on all their phones, if they did it right they might've even been praised for it.


Oh, this is BEYOND sad. IT'S JUST FUCKING CHROME. IT'S JUST CHROME WITH THE "NETSCAPE" LABEL SLAPPED ON IT.

I've downloaded old versions of Netscape off the Internet Archive just to look at it and?? It makes me upset?? Chromium fork, a CHROMIUM FORK.


Verizon Bought Yahoo & AOL a few years ago. They combined them to form a new company named Oath.


Microsoft idiot explorer came with our computer or you could download the other crappy browser Netscape Naaaavigator.


How to make this browser:

Step 1. Download Outdated Google Chrome Version
Step 2. Download Netscape Navigator Icon
Step 3. Rename the Chrome shortcut on the desktop to Netscape and change the icon to the one you downloaded.
Step 4. Launch "Netscape" and change search engine and homepage to AOL
Step 5. ????
Step 6. Profit


In 20 years from now the creator of this new Netscape Chrome browser will reveal to be Autistic and start a Youtube Channel


Where did you get this? I don't see any links to download Netscape at AOL. AOL Shield claims to be "optimized for older operating systems and dial-up internet connections"


Install Seamonkey for the real Netscape experience.


2:58 verizon owns most if not almost everyone of the transmittors and licenses it to other operators


The browser is 32 bits. That's not normal is it?


Fun fact about AOL and Yahoo, they both currently offer 1TB of email space!


Don't download AOL Browser in 2024 they collect your sensitive personal information and aren't afraid to admit it.


About what's requiring a reboot - maybe have a look in the registry under PendingFileRenameOperations?


If you want a nostalgic browser that looks like something from the early 2000s, install pale moon, it's open source and firefox based.

Otherwise, don't, the browser fingerprint of pale moon will stick out like a sore thumb. Absolutely a usable web browser, I have used it, it's pretty nice and retro looking. But it's not optimal for privacy. Still better than something like Google Chrome by a lot.


Try to Unsinstall it with Revo Uninstaller. He clears also whats leftover. Would be nice to see where this is creeping in some hidden areas.


Just like webdiscover, they once again use chromium to make malware/adware


oooo boy cant wait to see hijacked versions of the 4 different browsers filled to the brim with malware, and ad ware.

sorry grandma PUCF's EVERYWHERE


see, this is why i use Mozilla Firefox.<br>i use it so that i can stay secure and not deal with crapware

btw, i found out something about "bypassnro". The "command" you run in the command prompt.

Apparently, it is stored in system32 even before windows asks you to create a MS account, and upon closer inspection in wordpad, i found out that the "command" is pretty much a batch file, which adds the following registry key "bypassNRO" in the registry, sets it to 1, and reboots the computer.

The path is basically this: "HKLM (LM stands for local machine) > Microsoft > Windows > Current Version > OOBE".

At least i think i wrote the path correctly.

You don't even to reboot the computer, since adding that 32 bit key and setting it to 1, will skip creation of the MS account on OOBE, if you turn off your internet lol.


whats next? internet explorer comin back as a money laundering scheme??


Chrome has been reskinned so many times that it's saddening, take the "revolutionary" CryptoTab Browser, it's just Chrome with some extensions, and it even mentions it in certain websites that check your browser.


Original Netscape code -> Firefox
"Netscape" name -> Chrome
😭
Oh and I remember when I once used yahoo search and it gave me a virus


FYI: Yahoo, Aol, Oath and Verizon Media are all the same company.


i hope you do a scan on this so we know how much of a virus it is


>new browser release
>take a look inside
>chromium
seems like this'll be a trend for a looooong while. its always just overglorified chromium reskin, nothing new.


The reason why it shows Verizon Media is because Netscape is owned by AOL, which is owned by Yahoo!, which is owned by Verizon Media.

FYI Verizon Media is not owned by Verizon anymore.


Idea: Delete msoobe.exe and try to make the pc usable and skipping oobe errors
