This is a pretty gimped retelling of internet history. The author fails to mention several browsers that made history, most notably Opera, which came out back in '95. Opera was notable for being the first to introduce several features which have now become staples in modern browsers, such as:
Tabbed browsing
Speed Dial for fast access to favorite sites
Pop-up blocking
Reopening recently closed pages
Private browsing
Advanced UI customisations, such as the ability to set custom keyboard shortcuts and mouse gestures for various actions
Opera contributed so much to the web that it’s almost criminal that it’s left out from an article on browser history.
There were also several notable browsers which made history, such as:
Lynx, the world’s oldest browser that is still being maintained (released in ‘92)
