Posted 12 May 2005 - 07:13 AM

Ever wonder when a particular version of a web browser was released? No? Ok... well, I did. :) I decided to put together a list of various browsers, versions, and the release timeframe for each.

The list doesn't contain all browsers out there, or even every browser version. I'm working on getting more data, but some of the stuff is hard to find; mainly the older info. Between OCC's news, my own site, Google, and Wikipedia, I've managed to get a hell of a lot of information. If anyone wants to help out and fill in some of the blanks, I'd be thankful. :)

Ok, changed to reflect the day the source code came out for the particular release. Before it was the day the last added language came out, and that would be the reason for the messed up dates.
