A fun unofficial frontend for accessing the Internet Archive. Displays archived sites inside period-correct-looking mock browsers. IE4 shows pages from 1999, Navigator 4 from 1998, etc.

The second alpha release of this brings a bunch of superficial UI changes and adds Google Chrome 1.

Browers are now launched via mock desktop icons, and the mock desktop has theming to kinda reflect the browser's contemporary OS.
