Shortcomings

The shortcomings section is not a very useful/serious list. This is not a modern browser and it does not make sense to compare it to modern browsers. This browser was released in 1994, I had a quick look around and:

  • PNG was first released in 1995
  • In 1994 TLS was released as an experimental (and flawed in terms of security) feature of Netscape, not sure if it was even called HTTPS back then.
  • HTML frames were standardised in HTML 4.0 which came out in 1997
  • The first version of JavaScript was an experimental Netscape feature and came out in 1995.
