Where's the download link? It just links back to you? |
What does Blogoscoped.com look like in those 4 browser versions? |
Colin, I tried with Netscape 1 but it doesn't correctle resolve the domain and ends up on the server root (as my server at 1and1 hosts several of my domains...). |
I bet a ton of sites fail in Netscape 1. |
Ah... sweet memories! :-) |
Phillip: That's not a problem with DNS, but with HTTP Host: header and name-based virtual hosting. NS1 (and other old browsers) don't support it so you land on the default site on a given IP. |
The second screenshot (Google Docs) is identified as Netscape 2, but the caption says it's NS4... |
Phillip – FYI, a small German->English tip. Although "I can’t quite put my hands on it, but..." is understandable, the more common English phrase is "I can't quite put my finger on it, but...." ;) |
(Thanks Barb and Joe, corrections added!) |

an online browser "emulator"... |
You can also use BrowserPool if you don't want to "ruin" your system with installations (it comes with a bunch of browsers preinstalled, and you can install your own ones too – I did this with Netscape 4 for this post, as that browser was so ugly I didn't dare to run it on my own system): http://browserpool.de/kc/wob/portal.jsp?lang=en |
http://browsershots.org – Will do Netscape 4.8 along with a ton of recent browsers. |
Will miss Netscape in the virtual world . |
How would I run my website through this. I would love to see what it looks like.

I wouldn't post this if I were Google. Google is notoriously not web standard on many of their website. Shame on you. Real web standard accessible websites would just show relevant text (in the case of Google Maps maybe just: "welcome to Google Maps. You will need a modern browser to use any functionality of this site". |
Here is the google homepage in the early line mode browser:

Obviously, before stylesheets existed. I couldn't find the wireless xhtml version of google's homepage, but perhaps it would look better? |

Here it is – and it doesn't look much better:
