Thread: Firefox Win The Browser warfare

For as long as you can remember the staple Internet browser was Internet Explorer. Of course, there was a moment in time when Netscape was trying to get that market share, but Internet Explorer won out and there are many mortals that donÂ’t realize Internet Explorer is only their browser and they can alteration if they like. In fact, most folks consider Internet Explorer is the only option for reaching the Internet. This newcomer web browser is Firefox.*

Firefox is a browser that points on opening web sites rapidly while keeping those nasty pop-ups and spyware at bay. Firefox was in its final stages last summer and fortunately for the up and coming browser two federal agencies recommended Internet surfers select a different browser than Internet Explorer due to security issues IE was facing.

However, Firefox came done and many web surfers switched from Internet Explorer. In fact, Internet Explorer held the commercialize share for web browsers at 95.5%, but has slipped to 92.9% in just the few months Firefox has had its test edition on the market. This might seem like just a few percentage points, but these percentage points constitute millions of individuals who have switched from IE to Firefox. In fact, approximately 23 million preview copies of Firefox have been downloaded.*

So, what does this mean for IE and Firefox? Who will win this browser war? If Firefox extends gaining market share as it has then Firefox might come out on top. However, if IE works to fix its security problems it can believably hold onto its 90% plus market share. Only the futurity has the answer, we will just have to wait and see.
