Netscape Navigator, created by AOL's Bill O'Reilly, was a revolutionary web browser. Much like other web browsers of the time, it sucked. In fact, it fucking sucked, and he did it live.

Netscape largely lost the fight because it lacked the power to display blinking text like it's main competitor Jesus Explorer.

History

One day Bill O'Reilly was having trouble with his computer. "This AOL software fucking sucks!," he said, bashing his hands against the keyboard. He had a vision. A vision for a new way to browse the web - one that was powerful, easy to use, and didn't fucking suck.

Unfortunately he created it, so it didn't quite turn out that way. In fact, an odd rendering bug made his browser useless when he realized "there's no words on it!" - the page was blank.
