Looking at today's internet using yesterday's browser
Well, wonder no more. You don't have to install Mosaic, Netscape 1.0 or Internet Explorer 2.0. Just pop on over to the Deja Vu Browser Emulator, choose your poison, and watch as all the things that make today's web beautiful are stripped away. The virtual browser will pop up inside of a browser window, giving you the surreal experience of surfing the web using the granddaddies of Firefox or Internet Explorer from within IE7 or Firefox 2.0.
You haven't lived until you've tried to watch YouTube videos using HotJava. And don't forget to enter http:// in the address bar. Older browsers didn't recognize web pages without the full address.
We supposed you could use the emulator to see how your web site looks on old browsers (or even mobile phone browsers), but the odds of anyone actually using IE 2.0 to visit your page are pretty slim.
