I don't remember that, though I only started with early Netscape. Do you have more detail?

It wasn't in Mosaic either so I have no idea where they took that fact from.

pretty sure the guy from TPB had a micro-payments/donation startup around the time when everyone was using Facebook like buttons on their websites.

That was a decade after anything I would think of as early browsers, much less very early browsers.
