Netscape Passport Cover
Travel with a reference to the browser that helped the internet go global. This Netscape passport cover celebrates a company born in 1994 as Mosaic Communications, renamed later that year, and propelled into popular culture by Netscape Navigator. It is a smart pick for travelers who collect technology history and remember the dot-com era, the 1995 NSCP IPO, and Netscape's transition toward the Mozilla project. A subtle companion for journeys both online and off.
Netscape Communications Corporation began as Mosaic Communications Corporation on April 4, 1994. Founded by Jim Clark and Marc Andreessen, it was first headquartered in Mountain View, California, before later operating from Dulles, Virginia. Its Mosaic Netscape 0.9 browser arrived on October 13, 1994 and was renamed Netscape Navigator after the company adopted the Netscape name that November. Navigator quickly became a leading browser of the early web. Netscape went public on NASDAQ as NSCP on August 9, 1995. Competition with Microsoft Internet Explorer defined the first browser war. In January 1998, Netscape made future software free and launched the open-source Mozilla project; the Mozilla Organization later became the independent Mozilla Foundation in July 2003. AOL announced its acquisition of Netscape in November 1998, closing in March 1999. Netscape also made browser, server, e-commerce, portal, and Internet products. AOL ended Navigator development and support in 2008.
