Ehh...
Cyberdog was never widely used. It depended on the OpenDoc framework, which most users didn't even have installed, and was only available as a beta for a year or so. It was never a serious contender.
iCab was a latecomer -- it was released in 1999, long after most of the mainstream browsers. It was used by a few people, but was never particularly popular either.
I have never even heard of WannaBe. Based on what I see online, it looks pretty obscure.
- Angostura 4y agoI absolutely loved Cyberdog. My browser and e-mail client of choice
- GeekyBear 4y agoHaving fully indexed instantaneous search for my emails in 1996 was absolutely living in the future. Especially if you subscribed to a lot of mailing lists and went looking for information on something specific that you knew you had read, but didn't know where.
- flenserboy 4y agoYes. It was a sad day when I had to move on from it. Curious as to other applications which were way ahead of the curve (and the hardware) which could be remade today & fly.
