Netscape Navigator was the leading browser in the market before Internet Explorer (IE) was forced onto people who bought the Windows operating system. If I'm not wrong, Bill Gates didn't believe in the potential of the internet at first and that's why Microsoft didn't release any mainstream products relating to the internet in the early days. However, when they saw how successful other companies became due to the net, they hurriedly put together the clumsy browser called IE, bundled it together with a new Windows version (I believe it was 95?) and threw it out into the open.

At that time Windows' popularity was only increasing, so it was only natural that people who bought the OS used the browser readily since they weren't required to download and install a new one. This is the secret behind IE's "success".

Anyway, that was a long time ago and now many people are ditching the browser for better ones. What about you? Are you one of those who still uses IE because it's ready-to-use or do you take the trouble t install a better browser? smile.gif


For a while it looked as if Mozilla's Firefox browser was destined to become a huge threat to Internet Explorer in the web browser wars. Firefox has continued to slowly but steadily eat away at IE's market share, and for good reason. In many ways it was just a better overall browser than IE 5 or 6. Enter Internet Explorer 7. With many of the same features that helped spark Firefox's popularity as well as its intimate coupling with the Windows Vista operating system, Microsoft's newest browser offering has raised doubts as to whether Mozilla's market share can continue to grow at its current rate.

Both of these browsers have their own respective appeal and deciding which one may be right for you can prove to be a daunting task. This article attempts to make things a little easier for you when decision time arrives.

I am not sure when exactly but i am sure switching from Internet Explorer to Firefox was fast.I hated internet explorer very much.It made my internet connection slow,i have broadband internet connection.I will never use it again.If it was or if it wasn't, on any way i would not use it on my windows computer.If it was other OS maybe i would choose internet explorer only because it is popular and if it is faster then others.But on windows platform,never!But anyway,Firefox is working on Linux,MAC OS X,WINDOWS - isn't that enough.Internet Explorer is very buggy and slow.Few months ago i didn't understand but it was something that Internet explorer was hacked...

Firefox came out of nowhere! I still remember the buzz that surrounded the release of version 1.0. People everywhere were screaming with joy that this new browser was much faster and secure than IE. And that excited bunch of people spread the addiction to everyone around and today Firefox has become a household name (at least in the computing world!). IE is now famously infamous and it will never get back its good name again (did it have one in the first place?!)
