The browser wars are back
The Economist has a good article on the new competition on the browser market since the release of IE7
No tags for this post.During the browser wars of the late 1990s Internet Explorer vanquished the once-dominant Netscape Navigator by virtue of being already installed on every Windows computer. But the Microsoft browser now faces a far feistier rival in the form of Firefox, the open-source heir to Netscape’s crown. Since it was launched two years ago, Firefox has garnered more than 80m users, giving it 11% of the global market. Over the coming months, Firefox could easily double (even triple) its market share at IE7’s expense.
