message: I changed Flock a bit, but it might seem weird to others so I thought I'd let everyone know here. Starting with version 3 (only released as beta?), Flock is based on Chrome. Before that, Firefox was used as base. As a result, Flock now falls in the Webkit category instead of Gecko. I decided to split Flock into two lines, as opposed to altering the Gecko/Webkit backgrounds as before. Flock is now branched from Chrome, with an arrow indicating source code from the old Flock was incorporated. I feel this is better than before, but feel free to comment on this or to revert. If you want to revert, please keep the other trees I added in the latest revision. Sander (talk) 15:45, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes, they are. I tried adding them twice, and both times it resulted in breaking the thumbnail. I'll try again later today. Sander (talk) 08:38, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I had a similar problem earlier (if you look in the history). This is a bug in the library which is used by mediawiki. This can be solved by changing the paths that are same or so. Look at my talkpage/(commons talk page) and or my comments on commons. Don't know I have time later I will check this again... mabdul 12:43, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I remember :) Don't know if it's the same issue or not, but I was able to upload a version that works :) SlimBrowser and GreenBrowser are now correctly in the Trident part.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZanderZ (talk • contribs) 10:53, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

message: Recently, first Platform Preview has been released. SWFlash 21:28, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, latest Chrome is v12. SWFlash 21:31, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Platform Previews are not added, since they are alpha versions. Only gamma releases (stable) are included. For the same reason, Chrome 11 (beta) and 12 (dev) are not yet included. Sander (talk) 06:52, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: yes and no: the first milestone is acceptable! I added a few minutes ago MME! mabdul 15:50, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

text: Good idea. I will try this tomorrow. mabdul 20:00, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that causes more problems than it solves. Epiphany and Flock are in both Gecko and Webkit and that would not easily be possible if you move Trident in between... Sander (talk) 09:56, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

text: this is wanted. I will create next week the article and maybe (I don't know at the moment) there was an independent MME1(but MME2 was def. based on HitchHiker) so that I had to rearrange the lines again. mabdul 13:06, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: See Mobile browser: "In 99 STNC was acquired by Microsoft and HitchHiker became Microsoft Mobile Explorer 2.0, not related to the primitive Microsoft Mobile Explorer 1.0." -- Sander (talk) 09:56, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: No this statement is incorrect! MME1 was only a renamed HitchHiker. See a draft at User:mabdul/Microsoft Mobile Explorer. Not finished and with some false satements. I will correct the statement at mobile browser when I have the MME article nearly finished and get the whole picture. Have at the moment some white places on the map... mabdul 12:30, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: IE10

message: Even if Microsoft since from the beginning has confused Spyglass Enhanced Mosaic and NCSA Mosaic, Internet Explorer 1 was actually based on Spyglass Enhanced Mosaic, which was developed from scratch by Spyglass and did not share NCSA Mosaic's code. So I think the line between NCSA Mosaic and Internet Explorer 1 should be removed.--Luca Ghio (talk) 15:44, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for that! I've updated the file to include Spyglass Mosaic and changed the IE line. Sander (talk) 10:26, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: If you want, you can add Enhanced Mosaic 1.0, released in May 1994 (source, taken from ).--Luca Ghio (talk) 13:46, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Spyglass Enhanced Mosaic 2.1 seems to be the last version: in fact, Spyglass Enhanced Mosaic appears as same as in August 21st 1995, in February 1st 1997 (from here), and in 2000 (when OpenTV bought Spyglass). Spyglass focused on Device Mosaic, which someone should gather information about.--Luca Ghio (talk) 14:26, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Added some more versions. Last version I found was 2.11, released on March 20, 1996, which is now the end of the solid line. The dotted line continues to the end of 1997, but maybe this can/should be deleted. Sander (talk) 08:00, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Good!--Luca Ghio (talk) 20:00, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually a screenshot for Spyglass Mosaic 2.11 is here. But where did you find the release date?--Luca Ghio (talk) 15:13, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

message: The timeline for PIE ends with version 4 in 1999, but wasn't it included as the default browser for Pocket PC/Windows Mobile devices up until the release of Internet Explorer Mobile 6 with WM6.5 in 2009? --Paul_012 (talk) 06:32, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The timeline is a bit original research for some browsers since we haven't references for all browsers. It is vastly improved and added with references. I was searching for some Microsoft Mobile Explorer references (and writing an article on that browser), but the PIE is a big problem. If you find some, be bold and add it or comment here at the talkpage and I will do it. As I know: the PIE was def. included in some versions even before the WM5/WM6, but I don't know which version nor which dates. mabdul 14:08, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I had the same trouble (lack of sources) with PIE 4: some time ago, I tried to improve the Internet Explorer Mobile Italian article (I was careful to list meticulously every source I used, so the dates in the first table can be used for the timeline), but unfortunately I leaved unfinished the "Pocket Internet Explorer 4" section for that reason (but on the other hand Mabdul has his work cut out with his sandbox, too). One thing is certain: no further version there had been between PIE 4 and IE Mobile 6, and also I think the line for PIE should continue up to IE Mobile 6.--Luca Ghio (talk) 15:13, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

message: The timeline shows Mozilla coming from Netscape Navigator, but, as stated in this text, Mozilla was rewritten from scratch. ("where we're going" section, "Excuse #3" section) Am I wrong?--Luca Ghio (talk) 08:01, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Interesting read. I've changed the line to a dotted line, but maybe it should be removed completely. -- Sander (talk) 12:59, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Mozilla is not rewritten from scratch. To this day it still contains many pieces of legacy Netscape code, some even still listing the original NSCC copyright in the header. Wolfbeast (talk) 10:51, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

message: In the image, SeaMonkey is shown as latest version at 2.4x. But it currently is at 2.53.7. Sorry I cannot update the image by myself, lack of skills and capacity, so I report the beeing-outdated here.

message: Fantastic graphic.  Some fixes needed for Mosaic though:
* NCSA Mosaic's first release was version 0.5 (not 0.1)
** ...and it was in JANUARY of '93, so needs to be moved a little more to the left
* Version 1 was released in APRIL of '93, so should be a third of the way into the year
* Version 2 was released in NOVEMBER of '93... not end of 1995
