Sorry to see internet regressing to Internet Explorer days.

Edited to add: This is the message I get when using Firefox.

Not really, Internet Explorer was single platform and closed source.

  • Internet Explorer was certainly closed source, but it ran on many platforms.

    It was popular on Mac Os (classic and X). It was also released for Solaris and HP-UX.

    • Internet Explorer on Mac was a completely different rendering engine (Tasman) to Windows (Trident). The only that was the same was the name.

      (I swear at some point my brain will run out of space because it’s full of useless things like this.)

    • It was suffered on these platforms, because even IE for Mac didn't grant the 'compatibility' with 'web pages' designed for IE.

  • Nice bait.

    • Go look at any web proposal. The Mozilla team consistently rejects proposals then relies on WebKit to piggyback on their decision.

      This is what I mean by holding the web back. Don't even get me started with WebGPU still not being stabilized in Firefox, or the myriad of features WebKit has not implemented yet with respect to PWAs and service workers.

      Really, the situation is more like "Chrome vs two modern IEs".
