Still, as someone who lived the browser wars of the 90's, "ancient" is not an adjective I'd use for something that happened only a decade ago.

Or put in a different way, if the browser changes in 2007 are "ancient", how would you describe the ones that happened 10 years before that? Prehistoric? Jurassic?

Antediluvian, in the almost literal sense of happening in a totally different world.
