These were first popularized as "Best viewed in..." buttons by Netscape and Microsoft during the browser wars of the late 1990s.[2] They have seen a resurgence[3] in the early 2020s through websites like Neocities. There are now large collections of buttons linking to personal websites that serve as modern takes on old web culture.
