It was quite the Wild West with early browsers. Different browsers could interpret the same site in different ways. Some browser added their own functionality as they wished. There were no strict standards. Web developers didn’t exactly follow the W3C standards either. And then you could always do it in a Flash or Java applet if browsers didn’t support what you wanted.
This was also the time with the most diverse set of browsers. Today the web standards are much more formalized and more strictly followed, and ironically this is also the time where almost everybody use different flavors of Chrome.
