Ecco un altro caso di un'applicazione che una volta aveva il monopolio nel suo campo (in questo caso, le videochiamate) e adesso è sulla via della dismissione.
Come #Symbian ed #InternetExplorer, due colossi che si adagiano sugli allori, smettono di innovare, tirano a campare / vivere di rendita, e non si curano né dei nuovi player di mercato, né dell'emorragia dell'utenza.

Going through the stats for browser market share during the rise of Chrome is interesting. Internet Explorer plummeted while Firefox seems to have been pretty stable. People were mostly making the switch from IE to Chrome, not Firefox to Chrome.
January 2012 was the last month which Firefox held onto second place.
Btw. it is annoying that the stats use the name Edge long before Edge came into being.
Yo no quiero que muera #Firefox
El guardían de los docs, heredero de #Netscape y rey de las dev tools, innovador de #JavaScript , el vengador que mató a #InternetExplorer y la más ligera y personalizable ventana a internet ahora.
No quiero. Lo quiero mucho 
Zorro no te vayas.
Like many back in the '90s, I had assumed that Netscape were the lesser evil in the browser wars.
I never thought I'd say this, but thank you Bill Gates for creating Internet Explorer.
Sure, it was a buggy malware magnet from the ancient masters of tech monopoly capitalism.
But it turns out the guy who ran Netscape is a bigger prick than we realised.
In hindsight, trying to put him out of business was completely and totally justified.
@nina_kali_nina Yes, I quite admired its remarkably consistent UI, something Microsoft rarely gets right. (But not for long though, and Internet Explorer 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 iterated so quickly — that version 4.0 ruined the desktop with Active Desktop where “everything is a link now” and every single desktop icon had underlined text, meaning you could click it now with a single click instead of that oh-so-troublesome double-click … not that it stopped everyone over 40 that I saw double-clicking it anyway, causing all sorts of double-open issues)
/endrant … ooh that went on a wild tangent there, sorry. Ahem let me hashtag that with #MSIE #InternetExplorer
I missed the simple minimalism of the File Explorer windowing before Windows 95B and Windows 98 and 98SE, though it was a bit more refined in ME and Windows 2000, both of which I have a soft spot for
But mostly I love the very original Win95 for its empty start bar. No little notch dirtying it up, with a “toolbar” grab handle letting you rearrange and reconfigure like a browser toolbar (except not very configurable, not to mention removing the notch).
The thing I missed the most was the cute animation at startup that slid in to say “Click Here to Begin” https://youtu.be/4UxwAlqCCmk basically welcoming any refugees from Windows 3.x.
(All that Windows XP ever told you on first startup was “Welcome! Your computer has issues. You need to fix it with some updates, or maybe some antivirus. Have you thought about opening your bloatware?” Welcome to the 21st century, suckers)
Okay that’s way too much ranting
All the more ironic that I’m ranting about this because for my daily driver, around 6 months after I installed Windows 95, I got my first Mac. Jumped straight on the PowerPC bandwagon with a G2. Underpowered but had soft power on/off and video capture, plus a bundled answering machine app for the internal dialup modem. My first macOS was 7.5.1 and I had to put up with all the shenanigans of 7.5.3r2 until Steve Jobs made his influence felt in MacOS 7.6.
20 Jahre Firefox: Happy Birthday, kleiner Panda!
Firefox steht für das Web der offenen Standards: Gut, dass es den Browser gibt. Allerdings rutscht er in die Bedeutungslosigkeit.
Apparently, #InternetExplorer still lives. Well, until 2032 at least... #browser #software #ie #microsoft #longevity https://mindsconnect.jcink.net/index.php?showtopic=833
@octothorpe @jensimmons If browsers then provided a way in their dev tools to degrade their browsers to the #MinimalViableWeb subset, then we could once again have an easy way to test #ProgressiveEnhancement and #GracefulDegradation, just like we had back when one could expect #InternetExplorer to represent that smallest common denominator among browser implementations
Working on a presentation for work has given me an opportunity to read up about the history of the Web Browser.
Turns out to be not such a simple thing to unravel. Here's my attempt!
Is it normal that you get a panic attack when you first see a Mastodon.IE instance, which makes you believe #Microsoft Internet Explorer joined the #Fediverse? 
Sorry #Ireland, their advertisement seems to have worked on my brain 
Microsoft's friend #Google seems
to jump to the same conclusion though!
(Disclaimer: It's a cool Irish instance apparently run by a team of volunteers :)

Microsoft Edge will let you control how much RAM it uses soon
Microsoft is working on a new feature for its Edge browser that will let you limit the amount of RAM it uses. Leopeva64, who is one of the best at finding new Edge features, has spotted a new settings section in test builds of the browser that includes a slider so you can limit how much RAM Edge gets acce

@massa @KC1PYT @Perl @BrendanEich That’s well before #WebASM. Was it using #ActiveState’s browser #Perl scripting that only worked in #Microsoft #InternetExplorer?
Microsoft stole my Chrome tabs, and it wants yours, too
Last week, I turned on my PC, installed a Windows update, and rebooted to find Microsoft Edge automatically open with the Chrome tabs I was working on before the update. I don’t use Microsoft Edge regularly, and I have Google Chrome set as my default browser. Bleary-eyed at 9AM, it took me a moment to realize that Micr
