    Wrong icon for dial up internet explorer.

    You’ll want one of the upper row icons for dial up internet explorer.

      You can use dial up with any of those explorers…

        While true that you can use dial up internet even on modern browsers, it fell out of use pretty much everywhere by the mid 2000s. DSL and cable became pretty ubiquitous.

          I can see it could feel that way in some areas. I’m a Canadian, so we didn’t even start to address the digital divide until 2019.

          I thought high speed was ubiquitous in the late 00’s, then I moved to a province when it was very limited.

          1/3 of the world still has no fixed internet access, let alone broadband access

        This is a confused soul. One of those icons isn’t even Explorer.

          They are all internet explorer or variants of it. The internet was what the icon was labeled for the first few versions. The last icon is for edge i believe.

      I remember when IE 4 switched to the e icon. I thought it was so much cooler looking with the blue gradients.

      I don’t know about you, but I had the Netscape Navigator icon.

      So the last icon implies “it flushes you through the web, if you want or not”?
