A Quest for Websites Compatible with Internet Explorer 5.0


The tide of technology relentlessly marches forward, leaving behind a trail of obsolete hardware and software. Yet, the internet is a vast and curious place. For every forgotten floppy disk, there's a niche community keeping its digital flame alive. This is especially true for enthusiasts of retro computing!




As a passionate explorer of yesteryear's technologies, I'm on a mission: to unearth websites that can still be accessed with the venerable Internet Explorer 5.0. Released in 1999, IE5 was a pioneer in the early days of web browsing. While it may seem like a relic in today's landscape, there's a certain charm in revisiting the web as it once was.

The goal? To compile a comprehensive list of these digital time capsules! Imagine a portal where you can revisit the internet through the lens of the late 90s, with its simple layouts, bright colors, and text-heavy content. Who knows what hidden corners of the web we might discover?

This isn't just about nostalgia, though. Preserving these remnants of the internet's past holds historical value. It allows us to understand how the web evolved and how technology has shaped our online experiences.

So, if you have a dusty copy of Windows 98 lying around and a hankering for a digital time warp, stay tuned! This blog will be your one-stop shop for exploring the web with Internet Explorer 5.0. We'll delve into the challenges and workarounds of using such an outdated browser, and most importantly, we'll build a community resource of websites that have withstood the test of time.

Together, let's embark on this expedition into the forgotten corners of the internet!
