Internet Explorer 5 5.2.3 Publisher's Description

Internet Explorer 5 is the latest browser version that Microsoft developed exclusively for Mac users. It can be used if you own a Mac OS 8 or 9 machine, but it features no official support from Microsoft since 2005.

The Macintosh Edition of IE used a new rendering engine called Tasman that was designed to be more compliant with emerging W3C standards such as HTML 4.0, CSS Level 1, DOM Level 1, and ECMAScript. It also introduced a number of features that were later added to other browsers such as complete support for the PNG image standard (which previous versions did not support at all), DOCTYPE switching, Text Zoom and XML source view. It also included an Auction Manager for tracking auctions in sites like eBay and an Internet Scrapbook to allow users to quickly and easily store and organize web content (for example an image or a piece of selected text). Preview releases of the browser included a feature called the MediaBar which integrated MP3 and internet radio playback, but this feature was dropped from the final version.
