It has been 15 years since Marc Andreessen developed the Netscape Internet browser that introduced millions of people to the Internet. After its early success, Netscape was roundly defeated by Microsoft in the so-called browser wars of the 1990s that dominated the Web’s first chapter. Mr. Andreessen appears to want a rematch. Now a prominent Silicon Valley financier, Mr. Andreessen is backing a start-up called RockMelt, staffed with some of his close associates, that is building a new Internet browser, according to people with knowledge of his investment.
How many new browsers do we need? It seems every time I turn around there's another one. Someone will write an article all excited about the new browser that really doesn't do things that much differently from the old browser. Over the last few weeks I looked at arora for the first time, and yeah, it's a nice browser. Then, let's see.... there's Midori and Opera and Fennec and Flock and HV3 and Dillo and Epiphany and Konqueror and Seamonkey and Netsurf and probably 10 more I can't think of right now.
