ActiveX had been EVERYWHERE in South Korea and it was the main reason behind IE being used even into early 2010s.

It feels surreal to come across someone who was responsible for something I hated so much back then. But now I’m just fascinated for some reason. I’d buy you a drink if I could :p

Early 2010s? Up until about 5 years ago if you wanted to do any banking you’d be doing it through IE and about half a dozen “security” activex plugins.

Except on mobile, which is what everybody preferred for obvious reasons.
