Amateur. I've been using Firefox since Netscape Navigator.
I was born a decade after Netscape navigator was launched. I'm legally an adult. Wow, you're old!
What shall I say? The first browser I ever used was called "Arena" and it ran on a UNIX system because Windows back then didn't even have (native) networking - you had to purchase TCP/IP for it from third parties back then.
And one of the first websites I visited was "the original one" on Tim Barners-Lee's NEXT cube in CERN.
And guess what - there was a network way before the Web. We had chat, "social media" before it was called that, and played online multiplayer games. All without any spam or advertising.
... I still mud. Kind of funny having characters that haven't logged on for 28 years.
Yep. Could be about as long for me. It was crazy back then.
