Netscape founder backing new web browser
The original founder of Netscape, Marc Andreesen, is overseeing the creation of another web browser, dubbed RockMelt. Shaped around the idea that "There are all kinds of things that you would do differently if you are building a browser from scratch," Andreesen seems certain that he is shaping up a browsing platform that will further change the web. Details on the browser are very few, though some are likely to surface soon.
Netscape, founded in 1994, was previously a major contender during the original "browser wars" in the mid 1990's - where Marc Andreesen's first attempt at a web browsing platform led to a heated competition against Microsoft's Internet Explorer.
