As a web dev, I feel awkward reminiscing about the thin period of web history when IE was a solidly built, standards-compliant browser.
It was like the IE team saw their history was causing them to lose all market share, and committed to fixing misdeeds since they held an underdog position. But for most, it was too little too late.
For several years, I tested in IE, not Chrome, because it was most strictly standards-compliant, and I could be sure that if it worked there, it would work in other browsers. (Now, if you use Edge, it’s just a repaint of Chrome)
I miss presto and the old opera browser
I rather enjoyed 2002-2003 opera. It had tabs and mouse gestures.
I loved Opera for a good couple of years. Came back to it around 2007 and I was shocked at what it became.
IE also never woulda pioneered shit like WebUSB
I didn’t start dev until after the chrome hegemony but I assume ie was only compliant because MS was the one writing the standards. Much like how chrome is essentially the defacto standard now.
At this point in time, Chrome was jumping bounds ahead of the others with standards, and most websites were specifically written for webkit, even beginning to disregard Firefox. Worse, Chrome was often going back and forth on how a certain new standard should implement, leading to, for instance, CSS files declaring 7 or 8 different ways of doing a linear-gradient.
Your sentiment on Microsoft isn’t unique, which is part of why the web consortium wasn’t actually keen on listening to them most of the time. Them having monetary/OS influence didn’t actually lead to a lot on the W3C - they went ahead of them for most ActiveX work.
It was really hard to use ie at the time. I worked at lockheed making a javascript repair sim, and it took 3 minutes to load in IE vs 10 secobds in chrome
IE11 was good. I will die on this hill with you.
Where’s Spongebob caveman?
Truly the golden age
When epic meal time was the biggest YouTube channel.
Oh my god i completely forgot how much everyone loved epic meal time. Could never to content like that in this economy.
I miss demotivational posters.
There’s a comm for it. Just not a lot of content
Bacon will forever remain epic, even if it is slowly killing me.
I think it’s a reference to epic meal time
Ohhh, right. Man, I’m a terrible Millennial.
Still better than all those degenerate wojak memes nowadays.
So you remember Strong Bad?
I mostly remember Trogdor to be honest.
no, but i remember Strong Sad.
That’s just a Thursday on Lemmy
Not enough beans.
God I forgot about the whole bacon thing.
I remember it as the same time the narwhal bacon’ed. Never got the appeal of that meme.
And unfortunately I’m going to have to remind you how bad it got… https://www.baconaddicts.com/products/bacon-flavored-toothpaste-flavor-tooth-paste
I remember being really annoyed by the whole thing. People went from kale to bacon.
Everyone proved how indestructible the Nokias were by destroying them for views.

Ever wonder why we’re here?
“… Just to suffer?”
One of life’s great mysteries isn’t it? Why are we here?
Web 2.0.
I mean, if we took their base, then we’d just have two bases in the middle of a box canyon…

Sometimes dreams can come true

Did you… is this sickos, but a hedgehog?
This is the OG “haha yes” meme, predating the sickos one by… like… 1-2 years according to knowyourmeme (going not by time of creation but their widespread usage as memes)
