  1. I spent more time than I care to admit doing dual-stack IP detection in a way that works on modern browsers and all the way back to Internet Explorer 6.

    I learned that IE6 will refuse to do XHR unless the host+port are identical to the current URL, and it doesn't support CORS. So, the workaround was using JSONP.

    I wonder how many other people in the world have IE6 running with IPv6 support...

    I've just looked at my first site. Started 1 January 1998. Abandoned at some point after 30 March 2000, when the "Whats New" page announced "Reworked all source (html) files for the site. They are now HTML4.0 compliant and use a style sheet."

    The site documented all the tricks and tips I could offer on the "Recorder" accessory found in Windows v3.11 for Workgroups.

    Tried running it discover that back then Internet Explorer must have been case insensitive. My file naming style was somewhat inconsistent.

    If there's unbelievable interest I'll correct the mixed case file names and upload it somewhere.

    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!
