BabyBrowser is a tiny browser written in Java. Using Java's charmingly outdated Swing library, it's essentially a frame that points to a URL. Sometimes it can parse HTML & CSS, and sometimes it can't. BabyBrowser questions the ubiquity and completeness of the web. It highlights the fact that the web as we know it is simply a set of agreed-upon standards. BabyBrowser shows that potentially there are different ways to use and see the internet.
