Cuando volvamos a vivir una época en la que sólo hay un navegador y tengamos que sufrir los desmanes de ese navegador, como ocurrió con #InternetExplorer, nos acordaremos de todos estos defensores de la pureza que se van a cargar a #Firefox
Y no penséis que estoy siendo melodramático. Vengo notando desde hace un tiempo que hay webs que sólo funcionan correctamente con #webkit
Going through the stats for browser market share during the rise of Chrome is interesting. Internet Explorer plummeted while Firefox seems to have been pretty stable. People were mostly making the switch from IE to Chrome, not Firefox to Chrome.
January 2012 was the last month which Firefox held onto second place.
Btw. it is annoying that the stats use the name Edge long before Edge came into being.
Yo no quiero que muera #Firefox
El guardían de los docs, heredero de #Netscape y rey de las dev tools, innovador de #JavaScript , el vengador que mató a #InternetExplorer y la más ligera y personalizable ventana a internet ahora.
No quiero. Lo quiero mucho 
Zorro no te vayas.
Like many back in the '90s, I had assumed that Netscape were the lesser evil in the browser wars.
I never thought I'd say this, but thank you Bill Gates for creating Internet Explorer.
Sure, it was a buggy malware magnet from the ancient masters of tech monopoly capitalism.
But it turns out the guy who ran Netscape is a bigger prick than we realised.
In hindsight, trying to put him out of business was completely and totally justified.
@nina_kali_nina Yes, I quite admired its remarkably consistent UI, something Microsoft rarely gets right. (But not for long though, and Internet Explorer 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 iterated so quickly — that version 4.0 ruined the desktop with Active Desktop where “everything is a link now” and every single desktop icon had underlined text, meaning you could click it now with a single click instead of that oh-so-troublesome double-click … not that it stopped everyone over 40 that I saw double-clicking it anyway, causing all sorts of double-open issues)
/endrant … ooh that went on a wild tangent there, sorry. Ahem let me hashtag that with #MSIE #InternetExplorer
I missed the simple minimalism of the File Explorer windowing before Windows 95B and Windows 98 and 98SE, though it was a bit more refined in ME and Windows 2000, both of which I have a soft spot for
But mostly I love the very original Win95 for its empty start bar. No little notch dirtying it up, with a “toolbar” grab handle letting you rearrange and reconfigure like a browser toolbar (except not very configurable, not to mention removing the notch).
The thing I missed the most was the cute animation at startup that slid in to say “Click Here to Begin” https://youtu.be/4UxwAlqCCmk basically welcoming any refugees from Windows 3.x.
(All that Windows XP ever told you on first startup was “Welcome! Your computer has issues. You need to fix it with some updates, or maybe some antivirus. Have you thought about opening your bloatware?” Welcome to the 21st century, suckers)
Okay that’s way too much ranting
All the more ironic that I’m ranting about this because for my daily driver, around 6 months after I installed Windows 95, I got my first Mac. Jumped straight on the PowerPC bandwagon with a G2. Underpowered but had soft power on/off and video capture, plus a bundled answering machine app for the internal dialup modem. My first macOS was 7.5.1 and I had to put up with all the shenanigans of 7.5.3r2 until Steve Jobs made his influence felt in MacOS 7.6.
This is old, found in some old screenshots. Young folks will never understand the challenge of Internet Explorer. This was a message from Google Health. LOL, remember that?

EDIT: Corrected spelling old old. Was olf
@zeitschlag I feel you.
To be fair: it may have been started with #InternetExplorer and browser quirks in the old days nobody wanted to be bothered with.
But it quickly turned into: I can't be bothered with learning the fundamentals, so please give me a framework.
Fun fact: browser quirks were minimal if you stuck with the fundamentals and standards, but people always wanted to live on the bleeding edge.
#InternetExploder really should be outlawed - alongside #Windows!

Wie #ITAdmins die Welt (ein bisschen) verbessern können
In jedem Unternehmen wird täglich unzählige Male der #InternetExplorer geöffnet. Jedes Mal wird der Anwender mit #clickbait #News konfrontiert!
Unweigerlich bleibt Mensch für Sekunden hängen oder liest dramatische Nachrichten.
IT Administratoren können dem #Browser per GPO Einstellung dieses schädliche Verhalten untersagen. Das #Betriebsklima und die #Produktivität verbessert sich signifikant! Bittet die Kollegen dies zu tun.
It wasn't that long ago that IE support seemed like an eternal struggle, one that would always be a pain for web developers. Then all of a sudden, I realise I haven't thought about IE for *years*. It's just gone. We did it, everyone!
Here's a #microsoft #windows #msie #internetExplorer question. I remember that at one point, MSIE was making its own links on web pages, green by default and not blue. Web people didn't like this and MSFT eventually removed the feature.
Does anyone have any records of this? All I can find are q&a threads about malware and browser extensions doing the same thing, but wasn't it a real Microsoft feature for a while?
(Or maybe this feature is the web version of that Sinbad movie that never was?)
@shaknais #InternetExplorer is #EoL anyway, so disregard it.
- Unless you are a masochistic #WebDev, then please, go on and backport stuff to #IE6 & #WindowsXP on the #InternetExploder!
20 Jahre Firefox: Happy Birthday, kleiner Panda!
Firefox steht für das Web der offenen Standards: Gut, dass es den Browser gibt. Allerdings rutscht er in die Bedeutungslosigkeit.
@octothorpe @jensimmons If browsers then provided a way in their dev tools to degrade their browsers to the #MinimalViableWeb subset, then we could once again have an easy way to test #ProgressiveEnhancement and #GracefulDegradation, just like we had back when one could expect #InternetExplorer to represent that smallest common denominator among browser implementations
Working on a presentation for work has given me an opportunity to read up about the history of the Web Browser.
Turns out to be not such a simple thing to unravel. Here's my attempt!
Is it normal that you get a panic attack when you first see a Mastodon.IE instance, which makes you believe #Microsoft Internet Explorer joined the #Fediverse? 
Sorry #Ireland, their advertisement seems to have worked on my brain 
Microsoft's friend #Google seems
to jump to the same conclusion though!
(Disclaimer: It's a cool Irish instance apparently run by a team of volunteers :)
Today you might laugh at the notion of paying for a web browser (or any other software, you freeloader 
). But this was part of #Netscape’s business model at first. #Microsoft killed them later by bundling #InternetExplorer with their market-leading #Windows operating system.
#MSIE wasn’t even Microsoft code at first; it was just a badge-engineered licensed version of Spyglass Mosaic. Spyglass was created to commercialize #NCSA Mosaic, the first popular graphical web browser.
