Netscape's management didn't know what to do, they tried making their premium version free, they added even more feature bloat, they tried extending the internet in ways that only worked with Netscape, and in the end, having fought valiantly, sold the whole thing to AoL who didn't do much with it and eventually open sourced the code after a petition highlighting the importance of competition to an open web. They then invested heavily in making Internet Explorer good enough for a daily browser, and executed their trademark embrace and extend strategy in an attempt to transform the web from an open platform to an extension of the Windows monopoly.
