There are numerous references to the once popular web browser Netscape (often misspelled "Nedscape") by characters in the Homestar Runner body of work.
Appearances
- Thorax Corporation — On their eMission Statement page, one of their instructions on how to go there include "Type in the Internet (1 for IE5, 2 for Nedscape)."
- Homestar Runner's Website — The text at the bottom claims that the page is best viewed using "Nedscape 1.0 or lower".
- Email virus — The broken JPEG symbol on Bubs's mouth is the same one used in Netscape, as well as in the web browsers Mozilla and Mozilla Firefox, which were based on Netscape.
- Back Door Store Thank You Message — The page imitates Netscape and Mozilla's "missing plugin" placeholder.
- Quote of the Week — An extended version of the theme song intro has the line "When email comes to town, I know, I know, it's like a netscape [sic] hurricane".
- Flash is Dead! — The text at the bottom of Homestar Runner's "dating prolif" claims that it is best viewed using "Ned's Cape 1.0 or lower".
