I still have a fondness for the name "Netscape Navigator". It seems a shame that we never started using the term "netscape" to refer to the internet.

I'm so used to Netscape being a brand name, it took me at least ten seconds to break the word up into its constituent words, and understand what you meant.
There were people who did ("You can see my new page on netscape!") but maybe not in the way you're thinking. At the time (1994) we all called the browser "Netscape", once we got used to not calling it "Mozilla".
