Netscape Navigator?
Which got forked to become Firefox
Netscape was itself a development from Mosaic, which also spun off into what became internet explorer.
so firefox and Internet Explorer (up to around ie6 at least) are kinda weird cousins.
This sounds wrong. Wasn’t there some big lawsuit between Microsoft and Netscape?
This whole thing about MS claiming they couldn’t decouple their web browser from their operating system?
It's kinda true, NSCA Mosaic was licensed to multiple companies that made their own modifications. By the time of the antitrust (around 2000?) they probably didn't have any code in common anymore.
