The web in 2006

What was the web like back then?

  • Top browser

    IE6

    90% of users were using Internet Explorer

  • Screen size

    1024×768

    on a 15-inch flat screen, or CRT monitor

  • High-speed internet

    59%

    of US adults didn't have high-speed internet at home

Building for the web in 2006

  • New this year

    jQuery and CodeIgniter were born. IE7 finally shipped in October, five years after IE6.

  • Couldn't do yet

    Rounded corners in CSS. Internet Explorer couldn't do them until 2011, so every rounded corner was an image.
