Evolution of Web Browsers, from 1991 to the present

Today I found a chart depicting the evolution of web browsers. In this picture you can see a very interesting look at the past and how far we’ve come. For instance, honestly I didn’t even know that Netscape Navigator is older than Internet Explorer! For those who cannot view Scalable Vector Graphics, here’s a picture converted to the PNG format.

Evolution of Web Browsers

Well, I’m afraid I haven’t even heard about 50 percents of all these applications (Arachne? WebRunner? HotJava?). Awesome.

A few quotes from Digg:

• Netscape Navigator brings back horrible, horrible memories.
• I remember once counting the number of Netscape versions in the 90s and I stopped at around 350.
• I didn’t know SlipKnot made a web browser
• Great use of SVG!
