Marc Andreessen - Footnote 3

Verdictpartial90%
1 check · 4/3/2026

The claim that Mosaic was responsible for a 10,000-fold increase in web users over two years is not directly supported by the source. The source does state that within a year, more than 2 million copies of Mosaic had been downloaded, implying a significant increase in users, but it doesn't quantify it as a 10,000-fold increase over two years. The claim that Netscape captured nearly 75% of browser market share is supported, but the source does not explicitly state that Netscape was sold to AOL in 1998. It was sold in December 1998.
