The world first web page has been put back online by the folks at CERN, in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the World Wide Web. Originally posted on April 30, 1993.

What do you expect if you insist on using Firefox?

Simon · Apr 30, 2013, 22:01:04

F... F... Firefox??!

Keep up, man! I've been using SeaMonkey for 10 years!

Anyway, I was on my phone before, so that was Safari.

The website only works on Netscape.

Simon · Apr 30, 2013, 22:21:54

Ah, now that was a good browser.

Clive · Apr 30, 2013, 22:42:45

I used it for years when I first went online.

It's what developed first into Mozilla, then SeaMonkey. Netscape did end up rather bloated, and Mozilla took the code and made a stripped down version, which subsequently mutated into Firefox, which is now probably as bloated as the original Netscape! Fortunately, SeaMonkey has remained much as it was, and with the combined mail client, makes it the best all round browser suite available, in my opinion.

Nothing bloated about FF memory consumption is less than Chrome, its not bowing to Google and monitoring your every move, has better ad blocking than Chrome since Google does not like ad blocking really, comes in 64 bit flavours for OS X which Chrome does not. Firefox like Chrome has its own built in PDF reader. They are also quick to update patches unlike Safari. Google want to take over the web and make it theirs, like MS did in the IE6 days and I wont be part of that with a browser that crashes when google has a glitch at the chocolate factory, which shows how tied to reporting back to the mother ship Chrome really is Also FF has no mail client built in, its just a browser, which is all a browser should be as I see it.
