- GekkePrutser 6y agoNot quite though. A browser back then was not the same as it is now. Videos required flash that was bloaty even back then. Javascript was a lot more basic. PDF viewing? Needed Adobe reader. And don't forget pages themselves were way lighter in terms of content. I agree software is bloated. But this was also a common complaint in the time of Windows 95 compared to 3.1 :)
- chaganated 6y agoWhere did I say browser? Separate apps (and protocols), instead of jamming everything through web, is a feature, not a bug. There is (or was anyway) more to the internet than HTTPS.
