The most fascinating part about this timeline, for me, is that it's so short. Feels like forever ago I was using Netscape on Windows 95, but it really wasn't. It's come so far in such a short amount of time.

Looks pretty but isn't very practical. E.g. why is the 'webfonts' label way off the screen from the point it is first implemented? How do I see what features were implemented in a particular browser version? Why is there a massive text banner in front of the screen shots of different browser versions?

What I'm wondering is what the vertical axis is intended to represent.

Nice timeline, though I have some doubts about its accuracy / completeness. It makes it look as if Safari predates Firefox, but I remember that I had been using Firefox (then still called Phoenix) as early as 2002 - 2 years before the 1.0 launch.

Also notably absent is the Mozilla suite that predated Firefox.
