G+_Russell Grokett Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Also, Netscape was developed by many of the original Mosaic authors, though it was a complete rewrite and shared no code with Mosaic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Larry Havenstein Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 And IE is based on the Mosaic code base which they bought from the purchaser of Mosaic after Netscape came out. I can't remember the name of the company that bought Mosaic, it is no longer referenced in Help About anymore. Was it Spyglass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
