One of the most baffling engineering feats to me is Voyager 1/2 are billions of miles away in space, launched 43 years ago and with 43 year old tech we can still communicate with them. We can’t even keep a HTTP API stable for 3 months without breaking it for frivolous reasons.

On the plus side, you could probably use a modern browser to access a website built in 1995

On the negative side, a browser from 10 years ago probably won’t even work.

Fair enough. OTOH, a 10 year old browser would probably be so ridiculously vulnerable that you could only run on a honey trap machine, anyway :)

The real question is whether browsers 25 years from now will still be able to run React or Angular apps built today.
