A new version of this visualisation with the following changes:
– Change layout to be mobile friendly
– Increased the speed 5x
– Added pauses for the event text
The actual visualization is kind of cool but I’m not a fan of the GIF version. Speeding it up makes it feel kind of twitchy and the pauses are long enough to disrupt the flow but not long enough to actually read ay of the text unless you’re a speed reader.
For a long time Opera was the really great sleeper browser. Sadly, like many others, it’s a shadow of its former self. Chrome and Edge are privacy nightmares, and Mozilla has relegated Firefox to playing catchup without fixing some of their fundamental issues for years now.
This is nice and all, but could you do one that only shows 1994
The majority of these browsers (Chrome, Edge, Opera) are now based on the v8 Javascript runtime, so the differences are basically cosmetic (Opera used to have its own runtime, but no longer). It is a bit concerning, as v8/Chromium is a Google project and gives them a bit too much control over the browser ecosystem.
Fun visualization, but I think showing the total number of installs increasing over time (I assume?) would be more informative.
Line chart would be much better.
Noone dominated the market like IE. A whole lot of ppl used IE and did not even know what a browser is or that there are other choices out there. For them, it was like click this icon to open Internet.

I am firmly in the edge camp now. It’s all damn chromium anyway so the shit is really all the same. Safari on my Mac as well.
Before it was night and day between chrome and IE. but now it’s literally just a paint job
