dpberr Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Netscape Navigator was the superior browser. Microsoft Internet Explorer had the superior deal makers and marketers. If it wasn't for the internet, the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal would have likely never been exposed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
