you missed the bit about aol buying netscape in 1998.

netscape continued but under aol's structure. aol disbanded the netscape group in 2003, which is when mozilla foundation launched and took over development.

aol continued to release netscape on its own until v9 in early 2008. last two versions were based on mozilla's new firefox, not the legacy browser suite.

yahoo got mixed in when verizon bought aol in 2015 and most of yahoo in 2016, and combined them. later sold verizon media (the aol/yahoo combination, fka oath, nka yahoo) to vultures (apollo) in 2021. apparently the netscape trademark remains with the remnants of aol.
