- classichasclass 9y agoThere was a period of time when both coexisted, though. I remember websites that were festooned with Gopher links and a fair bit of content that was only available in Gopher. Granted, that time was around 1993 or 1994.
- codezero 9y agoYep for sure. I think https was around 1994, but adoption of it was really really really sparse for probably 10 years if I'm remembering correctly. There was lots of FUD around the overhead.
