In a last-ditch effort to shore up market share, Netscape released the source code to its browser on a website called Mozilla.org in January 1998. The Economist magazine said that this move was “the computer-industry equivalent of revealing the recipe for Coca-Cola.”10 This open-source browser project would later evolve into the Firefox web browser, which would, in the 2000s, eventually take the market-share crown back from Internet Explorer. But it did nothing for Netscape at the time.
