/blink: 1994 – 2013
As much as we'd thought that blinking text had already gone the way of our first Angelfire fanpage, it's only now that the much-loathed HTML tag has met its maker. Firefox 23 has officially axed support for the tag, joining the ranks of Chrome, Safari and Opera in a group of would-be assassins.

While Lynx couldn't run a huge majority of HTML extensions that he and his team were spit-balling, it transpired that blinking text would, and the rest is a history that we'd rather put behind us. It's just a shame that Mozilla can't erase our youthful indiscretion so easily.
