The web is made of links. It's quite annoying to switch browsers when following links.
- dane-pgp 4y agoI think the idea would be that when you click on a link to a 25 year old page, the browser brings up a little warning saying "This page is 25 years old and has some errors that may stop it displaying correctly. Press the Refresh button to re-render it using an older browser engine." In the worst case, the browser would then have to download some additional code that contained all the support for invalid HTML/CSS code. In the best case, the 25 year old page would be served with a header containing a cryptographic proof that the site really had been around for 25 years, and it wasn't just some newly created attack site that was exploiting some weird behaviour in old renderers.
