It's hard to search for this kind of thing to back me up, but I vaguely remember IE 5 on Mac not only being better than Netscape, but also being the best implementation of IE across all platforms. It had a ton of unique features and its rendering engine was superior to the Trident engine used by IE on Windows.

- _moof 5y agoI recall this too (with equal vagueness). I remember even at the time talking about IE for Mac being a great browser. Basically a completely different product than its Windows counterpart.
- Cockbrand 5y agoIt was a great browser, which even us hardcore Macians had to admit. It was so much better than the Windows IE, and MS took great care to make it feel Mac-like. So apart from the strange in the top right corner, it was a very good Mac app.
- tinus_hn 5y agoIt was way ahead of IE for Windows. http://tantek.com/log/2004/06.html http://tantek.com/log/2004/06.html

- Cockbrand 5y agoBut then, what didn't? ;-)
- glandium 5y agoIf I recall correctly, it had the best CSS support at the time.
