dcb_v1 December 2018-April 2019 800x600 Some minor alignment and table coloring errors.
dcb_v2 April 2019-August 2019 1280x960 No issues, impressively enough! The YouTube video request on the page may slow down your retro PC though.
dcb_v3 October 2019-July 2020 1024x768 Nearly perfect, some wrapping and overflow issues on some pages.
dcb_iweb Never released (experimental layout circa 2020) 1024x768 No real issues, though it seems a bit jittery to load in some elements on the slideshow.
dcb_v4 July 2020-April 2022 1024x768 No issues.

dcb_nc1 March 2018-April 2018 640x480 No issues.
dcb_nc2 April 2018-May 2018 1024x768 Right sidebar doesn't float properly.
dcb_nc3 May 2018 800x600 Uses SVG images that retro browsers can't display.
dcb_nc4 May 2018 800x600 Uses SVG images and transparency effects that retro browsers can't display.
dcb_nc5 May 2018 1024x768 Uses SVG images that retro browsers can't display. This one is so inaccurate from the proper rendering that, despite it being usable, I'm going to downgrade it to a red rating.
dcb_nc6 June 2018-July 2018 1024x768 No issues.
dcb_nc7 July 2018 640x480 Uses CSS grid, so the tiny sliver of a layout renders as a big wide full viewport one.
dcb_nc8 August 2018 640x480 Uses CSS grid, so the nav isn't floated to the side correctly.
dcb_bootstrap September 2018 1024x768 Uses Bootstrap. Guess.
dcb_nc9 October 2018-August 2023 1024x768 Uses CSS grid, so the tiny sliver of a layout renders as a big wide full viewport one.

Red means major rendering errors that detract from your ability to read the page or use the site. Yellow means minor rendering errors (missing assets or animations) that don't impede readability. Green means no rendering errors at all.

Browser compatibility is determined by how the page renders in RetroZilla, which uses the rendering engine from Firefox 2.0 from 2007. RetroZilla runs on all 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows, from 95 and NT 4.0 onwards. Somnolescent recommends RetroZilla for all network browsing on retro computers.
