Netscape didn't have CSS2/3, WebGL, Canvas, native video (you had to use a plugin IIRC), plus the dozens (hundreds?) of W3C specs that didn't exist until the last 10-15 years ago.
- mindslight 5y agoGiven that things like WebGL/Canvas are privacy-destroying nightmares, maybe it's time to start using stripped down browsers that leave out most of these newer anti-features.
- MR4D 5y agoTrue. Just curious how bloated everything has gotten. Also, you mentioned the video plugin. I hadn't thought of that one - I wonder how the old video plugin vs "native" video compares (ignoring file formats, probably similar, but the new video formats probably bloat the software significantly due to all the compression).
