Netscape

[Engineer of Stuff]

Does Netscape work on Windows 8? I think that it would be fun to have a piece of Internet history.

I don't think it will, but you can always try!

Probably your best bet would be to use a Windows Virtual PC with XP or even 95 on it.

But also know that, even IF it would work, such an old browser has a lot of vulnerabilities.

Though running a VM should protect you some.

Edit: I did a quick search based on a hunch.

There's an add-on for Firefox called "Orthodox for Firefox 0.5.1" it gives a graphical Netscape-like overhaul.

Up to version 39 (second latest version).
