Icons clearly come from Windows 95 (some, I think, from Millennium even). Not in itself a bad thing (I do actually think 9x icons were an improvement), but if it’s advertised as mimicking Windows 3.11, it better stick to that promise. Fla

Nice as a proof of concept, but it renders one's browser history useless, and Ctrl+F is mostly broken as well. Recommend taking an additive approach—to enhance navigability with new methods, not throw out the stuff that already works
