"The browser that helped kick-start the commercial web is to cease development because of lack of users. Netscape Navigator, now owned by AOL, will no longer be supported after 1 February 2008, the company has said. In the mid-1990s the browser was used by more than 90% of the web population, but numbers have slipped to just 0.6%. In particular, the browser has faced competition from Microsoft's Internet Explorer, which is now used by nearly 80% of all web users."

KHTML is _not_ derived from Mosaic in any way. It is a 100% KDE developed engine.
KHTML is joint venture of KDE and Apple (Webkit). Yes Apple contributed code back to KHTML from their implementation.
I am only guy here who still use Mozilla Seamonkey (Formerly known as Mozilla Suite)? Firefox is bloatware and I just hate it- why Mozilla Foundation decided to break up great symbiose of browser, mail client, irc client and wysiwyg html editor is beyond me.
/me got hands on Mozilla since 0.7 release.

Wrong and wrong.
1.) Apple forked KHTML. Apple didn't join KHTML.
2.) Apple released the sources for WebKit. The KHTML Team incorporated some of that code into KHTML. Apple didn't commit the code into KHTML's SVN.

You have your facts wrong. KHTML was around long before Apple picked it up. Apple's variation is called WebKit. It is developed independently of KHTML although changes can be folded back into KHTML where appropriate.
