Evolution of the Web

Nice timeline, though I have some doubts about its accuracy / completeness. It makes it look as if Safari predates Firefox, but I remember that I had been using Firefox (then still called Phoenix) as early as 2002 - 2 years before the 1.0 launch.

Also notably absent is the Mozilla suite that predated Firefox.

Looks pretty but isn't very practical. E.g. why is the 'webfonts' label way off the screen from the point it is first implemented? How do I see what features were implemented in a particular browser version? Why is there a massive text banner in front of the screen shots of different browser versions?

What I'm wondering is what the vertical axis is intended to represent.

The most fascinating part about this timeline, for me, is that it's so short. Feels like forever ago I was using Netscape on Windows 95, but it really wasn't. It's come so far in such a short amount of time.

Look at the MOSAIC v.0.1, thats how simple should be browsers.

And I guess Netscape v.0.9 is the design inspiration for latest microsoft office design ;)

When looking at the screenshot slides, clicking on the top right corner of the image (near where the 'x' is in most of the screenshots) actually closes the slideshow. This is a nice little usability detail.

It appears clearly in this timeline that since chrome made its appearance with its fast release cycle, web technologies evolve at a much faster pace.

It's beautiful. Love the abstract patterns in the background. Don't serve much purpose but it compliments the look. Great work!

Why is Mozilla Firebird 0.7 missing or Phoenix 0.5

It looks like this was using D3? How long would something like this take to make?

[sgarbi]

why is G+ the only way to share?

It was made with (or by?) Google, look at the credits.
