Don't forget Cyberdog https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xjkm_fSM1g

You could drag and drop files into that browser in 1997! Sadly some Youtube videos are hard to find.

Should be here somewhere https://www.youtube.com/user/EveryAppleVideo

CyberDog was actually compelling for end users, unlike most OpenDoc components. Best Mac web browser UI until Safari, and best mail client for a long time. Became obsolete due to the progression of web standards very quickly, though.

I remember finding and using CyberDog for while. I think one of the features was the "back" action was fast (instead of basically reloading the previous page from scratch), which sounds boring, but then noticeable when using another browser.

I also seem to remember that much the team went on to work on IE for Mac, which was an entirely different code base from Windows IE.

I thought Claris Emailer was the nicest email program of the Mac OS 8 era.
