    Oorlog op je bureaublad! 💥

    Op deze dag in 1996 werd IE standaard in Windows, en de 'browser war' was AAN. Plots was die blauwe 'e' niet meer weg te denken. 🫣

    Welke browser gebruikte jij toen?

    Catch of the Day: The Forbidden Apple! 🍏🪟

    Hey Retro Fans!
    Hold on to your CRT monitors, because our FrogFind radar has caught something today that feels like a relic from a parallel universe. Among all the Nintendos and Linux machines, this legendary identifier appeared:

    Internet Explorer 5.17 on Mac (PowerPC)!

    For everyone rubbing their eyes right now: Yes, Internet Explorer existed for the Mac, and it was a big deal! Following the historic "peace treaty" between Steve Jobs and Bill Gates in 1997, Internet Explorer became the official default browser on all Apple computers for five years.

    The craziest part? Mac IE was technically vastly superior to its Windows counterpart at the time! Microsoft built a completely bespoke rendering engine for Apple called Tasman, which was one of the very first to properly support CSS. Version 5.1.7 (released in the summer of 2003) was the absolute final update ever pushed for classic Mac OS 8 and 9 before Apple entirely shifted focus to their own browser, Safari.

    The fact that today, over 20 years later, someone boots up an old PowerPC Mac (perhaps a colorful iMac G3?) and browses FrogFind with the Mac-exclusive Internet Explorer is a glorious time machine to an era when Microsoft and Apple surfed hand in hand.

    Cheers to the Tasman engine!

    Catch of the Day: A Beta Look Back! 🍏🔍

    Hey Retro Fans!

    Today, the FrogFind radar caught a true software fossil that will make Apple historians' eyes light up: Internet Explorer 5.0b1 on a Mac!

    Wait... b1? Exactly! The "b1" stands for Beta 1. We are not talking about the regular Internet Explorer 5 for the Mac (which was released in 2000 and, with its revolutionary Tasman engine, was the best Mac browser for a long time). No, this is an unfinished, shaky test version (Beta 1) from the summer or fall of 1999!

    Whoever is running this machine today probably popped in an old "Macworld" magazine CD, installed this pre-release version, and is happily surfing through the Frog pond. Such leaks and early beta builds are often full of amusing bugs, placeholder graphics, and unfinished rendering routines. But FrogFind is tough and serves up the finest, most digestible HTML even to this beta relic.

    We love it when you dig deep into your software archives!

    Catch of the Day: The Pocket PC Revival! 📟🖋️

    Hey Retro Fans!
    Today, our FrogFind radar caught a true gem from the early mobile era: Internet Explorer 4.01 on Windows CE (Pocket PC)!

    Who doesn't remember the turn of the millennium, proudly pulling a Compaq iPAQ, HP Jornada, or Casio Cassiopeia out of a suit pocket? These devices ran Windows CE, featured resistive touchscreens operated with a tiny plastic stylus, and often boasted a whopping 32 or 64 megabytes of RAM.

    The integrated "Pocket Internet Explorer" was a marvel back then, but is completely lost on the modern web. If it encounters even a kilobyte too much of modern JavaScript, the tiny processor immediately gives up. But this is exactly where FrogFind shines! On the classic 240x320 pixel displays of these PDAs, pure, fast HTML is rendered—and suddenly, the internet of 2026 is usable again on hardware from 1999.

    Cheers to the saviors of classic PDAs! Keep a close eye on your styluses!

    Catch of the Day: Microsoft's Masterpiece... for the Mac?! 🍏🪟

    Hey Retro Fans!
    Today we have a true exotic in the logs, reminding us of one of the most fascinating (and bizarre) eras in computer history. We recorded a solid 31 hits from Internet Explorer 5.0 running on a Mac!

    Yes, you read that right: Microsoft and Apple united on one screen.
    Those who remember 1997 might recall the historic deal between Steve Jobs and Bill Gates that saved Apple from bankruptcy back then. Part of that deal: Internet Explorer became the default browser on all Macintosh computers for the next few years – long before Safari even existed!

    The craziest part about it? The Mac version wasn't just a lazy port of the Windows software. Microsoft's dedicated "Macintosh Business Unit" built a completely new rendering engine under the hood called Tasman. This led to the absurd situation where Internet Explorer 5.0 for the Mac, upon its release in 2000, was widely considered the most advanced, best-looking, and most standards-compliant browser on the entire market – it was technically vastly superior to Microsoft's own Windows version!

    The fact that this historic piece of software is still being used today to surf the Frog pond is a wonderful homage to the crazy late 90s.

    Stay retro and always think "Different"!

    Catch of the Day: The Return of the Pocket PCs! 📱🖊️

    Hey Retro Fans!

    Just in time for the weekend, we are shining our spotlight on a very special class of devices that popped up in our logs today: The forefathers of the smartphone!

    An Internet Explorer 4.01 running on a classic Pocket PC (Windows CE) made an impressive return.
    Think back to the late 90s and early 2000s: Before we all carried capacitive glass touchscreens in our pockets, devices like the Compaq iPAQ, the HP Jornada, or the Casio Cassiopeia ruled the business world. You operated them using a tiny plastic stylus on a resistive 240x320 pixel display.

    Modern, image-heavy, and script-bloated websites will instantly bring these early handhelds to their knees. But FrogFind, with its pure text output, is an absolute blessing for the limited memory and tiny screens of these PDAs. It’s wonderful to see that you haven't hung up your styluses just yet!

    We wish you a great weekend – stay mobile and retro!

  19. 🚀 Wow, just what the world needed: a 3D globe that crams 10K flights into 3.5MB of Rust+WASM—because nothing says 'cutting-edge tech' like watching tiny dots dance on a spinning ball. 🎉 Meanwhile, the rest of us are just trying to get our Internet Explorer to load Google. 🙃

    FrogFind's "Catch of the Day": Sleeping with the Enemy? (Internet Explorer for Mac!) 🍏🤝🪟

    Hey Retro Fans and have a great start to the week!

    Today's Catch of the Day catapults us right back to 1997 – a time when Apple was on the brink of bankruptcy, and Steve Jobs made an announcement that caused the Mac community to gasp in horror. Around 12:32 PM, this legendary agent appeared in our logs:

    🏆 Internet Explorer 4.0 on Mac

    Why is this so special?
    At the 1997 Macworld Expo, Steve Jobs announced a partnership with their arch-rival, Microsoft. Bill Gates invested $150 million into Apple, and in return, Internet Explorer became the default web browser on all Macintosh computers (starting with Mac OS 8.1) for five years!

    IE for Mac wasn't just a cheap Windows port, either. Microsoft had a dedicated, highly motivated Mac team that perfectly adapted the browser to match Apple's "Platinum" interface design. The fact that someone booted up this historical peace treaty between Apple and Microsoft this afternoon to visit FrogFind is pure computer romance.

    Who needs Safari when you have IE 4? 😉

  23. Ich gebe zu, bei dieser Retro CD-ROM hätte ich selbst mal absolut keine Idee, wofür man sie heutzutage noch benutzen könnte oder wollen würde. Aber hey, ich bin hier nur fürs Archivieren zuständig! 😜

    Hier hätte ich jetzt das offizielle, deutsche Internet Explorer StarterKit für Windows 95 mit dem IE 3.02! Für Windows 3.1, Windows NT und den Macintosh ist glaub ich auch was drauf. Naja, vielleicht braucht das jemand für ein Museum oder so...

    There had been support down to IE6...

    まあ直接的には企業の動きが保守的で遅いということだったと感じてるけど、自分の体感ではユーザーとか制作の現場もそういう企業ムーブに追従しがちで、みんなが知ってて数が集まるところにいると安心するみたいな人が多いという傾向はありそうな気がする

    Microsoft hat im Rahmen der MIX 2010 eine Platform Preview des Internet Explorer 9 veröffentlicht. Neben HTML5, CSS3 und SVG-Support soll die kommende Version auch deutlich schneller werden. Das klingt doch schonmal gut! Direkter Link zum Artikel

  38. Internet Explorer 9: Erste Infos für Entwickler

    Microsoft hat nur wenige Wochen nach dem Beginn der Entwicklung den Internet Explorer 9 für 2010 angekündigt. Unter anderem sollen beim IE9 CSS3, HTML5 und DirectX mit an Bord sein. Eine ausführliche Stellungnahme findet sich im offiziellen Internet Explorer Blog. Wie die ersten Anzeichen (ich sag nur ACID3) vermuten lassen, könnte bald tatsächlich alles besser werden im Microsoft-Land. Doch wir wollen uns nicht schon wieder zu früh freuen...
