Anyone use those anymore? That seems like a tweet from the last decade, or before. Especially activex.

True. I guess it was the only native cross browser and cross platform solution that didn’t require additional installation or plugins. Silverlight was another, came and didn’t take over. I wonder how java might have faired if there wasn’t the feud about it with MS at the start.

Java got a name for itself early on for being very slow, and requiring very frequent security updates. Which was somewhat fair. I think that colored people's opinions about it more than the Microsoft feud... J++ was flattery by imitation, no? ;)
