Do you actually not understand how a web browser, a file manager and a email application are considerably different compared to Safari on iOS, macOS and iPad OS

Do you not understand that those were all the same thing in Windows? Context is key. Everything at that time was built on IE. It was the mail client, the file browser, and the web browser at the same time. Hell, if you dig into the registry on Win 11 you’ll still see references to ‘Internet Explorer’.

That’s false again.

I think the reference was to IE4 for Windows 95 and 98, which did in fact run the desktop and file manager functions with IE to enable web functionality. You could type a URL into the file manager path bar and use it as a web browser or use a web page as your desktop, IIRC.
