What is the goal?

The goal of the Neonternetics plugin is to demote the use of paleonternetic (old/ancient) browesrs, that do not comply with the latest web standards. The idea behind Neonternetics sprang from the waste of numerous hours trying to develop applications that would satisfy Internet Explorer 6 peculiarities. From our investigations, we concluded that Internet Explorer 6  had a big market share, still in 2009, due to the limited information about other options reaching the not-so internet-savvy users. And just not to be biased against Internet Explorer 6, there are numerous other old browsers surfing the net. Hence, we decided to make the information readily available, thus Neonternetics! Spreading information and sending the old technologies back to the paleonternetic era where they belong, one user at a time.

The Plugin

DOWNLOAD >>

The Neonternetics plugin detects the visitors browser and version and it compares this with the minimum requirements set by the administrator. If the visitors browser does not meet the requirements a warning message is shown. The warning message can be shown via a modal window, a slider on the top of the page, or by imitating the legendary Blue Screen of Death. The Blue Screen of Death came about as we were trying to figure out something to do for April Fools Day, and what better thing of waking up the memories of the BSOD.

In the event the visitor’s browser does not pass the test, the administrator can set up the Neonternetics plugin, to block access to the site, give a one time pass, or give a several hours or days pass. All these options are controlled from  functional back-end.
