[http://ftp.nluug.nl/netscape/netscape9/en-US/9.0/unix/linux/netscape- navigator-9.0.0.2.tar.gz](http://ftp.nluug.nl/netscape/netscape9/en- US/9.0/unix/linux/netscape-navigator-9.0.0.2.tar.gz) you can find it here ---------------------------------------------------------------------- include007 · 2021-01-20 09:25 my question is where do you get Netscape from? it it still available for download? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Individual_Pickle_77 · 2021-01-20 09:40 http://sillydog.org/narchive/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- include007 · 2021-01-20 13:17 sweet :) thank you. feeling nostalgic today 😅 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- vivekkhera · 2021-01-20 15:45 The first few versions of Netscape ran on BSD/OS quite nicely in 1995. I switched to FreeBSD as my desktop in ‘99 and I don’t remember what I used then... maybe it was still Netscape. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LowerSeaworthiness · 2021-01-20 18:27 I was running Netscape on FreeBSD around then, on a Toshiba laptop. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nsp0323 · 2021-01-20 18:45 Ahh... Netscape, the memories from early days. Although, running it today sounds like an awful security issue. Besides, I don't think it will work with a lot of web sites. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dddddavidddd · 2021-01-20 20:07 This worked on FreeBSD via Linux emulation in about 2008: https://www.freshports.org/www/linux-netscape-navigator/ It might be easiest to virtualize a compatible Linux. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Individual_Pickle_77 · 2021-01-21 11:03 >you. feeling nostalgic today 😅 looks like they dont have the files but if you google the file name its easy to find ---------------------------------------------------------------------- include007 · 2021-01-21 12:03 true. I found then but os not supported anymore on my current os (big sur'prise :( ---------------------------------------------------------------------- yourhelpfulfriend · 2021-01-22 20:55 Not OpenBSD. No Linux emulation. But if you want the Netscape look and feel, there is the SeaMonkey browser. You can get [themes that resemble the old Netscape look](https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/seamonkey/addon/xpfe- classic/?src=search). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Individual_Pickle_77 · 2021-01-24 14:37 seamonkey is long since broken on openbsd and the themes dont work on the latest version ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Individual_Pickle_77 · 2021-01-25 13:25 Will people actually target a netscape user? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Individual_Pickle_77 · 2021-01-25 13:28 which version of bsd was that do you think? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- vivekkhera · 2021-01-25 13:39 I used BSD/OS FROM BSDi for my servers and desktop from when they made their first release in 1994 until about 2000, when I switched to FreeBSD 3.x as my desktop and server choice (maybe it was 4.x?). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Individual_Pickle_77 · 2021-01-25 13:40 What kind of WM or DE did you use and still use? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- vivekkhera · 2021-01-25 13:41 Until KDE was out I used straight up fvwm on X. Probably since like 1990-ish on Sun workstations. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Individual_Pickle_77 · 2021-01-25 13:45 I miss KDE 1.x-2.x although it was as buggy as it is today. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DonovanNagel · 2021-01-27 00:36 Why would you want to? It's ancient. Not even sure it could work with the modern web. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Individual_Pickle_77 · 2021-01-30 06:47 9 works ok actually under wine
