I am both incredibly happy that this exists and disturbed by the possibility that it being posted here will result in it's discovery internally (as I presume it's automated) and shutdown.

IIRC this is just a rebranded version of another service run by the parent company. I remember seeing it recently but don't have a link on hand.

The "download browser" link led to an AOL_Netscape.exe -- I guess it's this Chromium-based web browser mentioned on wikipedia but I don't feel like installing wine :)

> Netscape's browser development continued until December 2007, when AOL announced that the company would stop supporting it by early 2008.[11][12] Until 2025, AOL used the Netscape brand to market a discount Internet service provider, which itself provided a Chromium-based web browser called Netscape, developed by UK security firm SentryBay.

101.27 KB to load the full page with images and scripts. Incredibly refreshing, maybe because it brings me back to simpler days in my life. :)

This is an instant bookmark! Also do use the side bar to change topics so that it isnt all doom and gloom.

Be interesting to see if Bending Spoons keeps this alive.
