And then Google built Chrome, and Chrome used Webkit, and it was like Safari, and wanted pages built for Safari, and so pretended to be Safari. And thus Chrome used WebKit, and pretended to be Safari, and WebKit pretended to be KHTML, and KHTML pretended to be Gecko, and all browsers pretended to be Mozilla, and Chrome called itself Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/0.2.149.27 Safari/525.13, and the user agent string was a complete mess, and near useless, and everyone pretended to be everyone else, and confusion abounded.

Ma gandesc oare cati isi mai aduc aminte de Mosaic (web browser) sau cati stiu ca a existat asa ceva

Sunt prea tân?r ca s? fi folosit Mosaic, dar ?tiu despre el (thank you old books). Sper s? nu spun o prostie, dar parc? avea ?i ceva leg?tur? cu W3C (au colaborat la dezvoltarea Mosaic, cred).
