Andreessen Says Web Browsing Innovation Is Dead

from the so-do-something-about-it dept

Marc Andreessen is apparently complaining that there's no more innovation happening in the web browser space. He's particularly upset that the navigational structure, which he's partly responsible for creating, hasn't changed at all. Of course, if he's that upset about it, why doesn't he take a swing at the Mozilla code himself. If he really thinks that there's a better way, then he should step up to the plate and build it. He does have a reputation for building browsers, after all. Otherwise, these statements come off like the old man complaining: "back in my day... "

    Um, not true. Andreesen wrote the first code for Mosaic whilst a student at NCSA. It was his student project I believe. It was really badly written too - we used to send him tons of bugs
