Netscape, or any of the other browsers out at the beginning of the wild
west days of the world wide web (WWW), were hit or miss. Web page/site
developers had to choose what browser they were developing for. One
browser rendered one way, the other another way. And each of them had
their own "special" tags that the others couldn't use or recognize. 
I think back to the days of IE being the "premier" browser with its
ActiveX controls. Many financial institutions developed their sites for
that browser and you could only access them with IE. 
While I love that I was part of those days, I am still glad that some
standards were formed and adhered to by all browsers, making them
"semi-universal".
