Until this current assignment I was a faithful Internet Explorer user. I did not want to use a different web browser because I was comfortable with Internet Explorer. I knew how to operate and move threw it rather quickly and smoothly. I now must admit that I have had a change of heart! My eyes have been opened to a "whole new world."
Mozilla Firefox has stolen my heart and the devotion that I once had instilled solely for Internet Explorer. I am dumbfounded by Mozilla Firefox, I can not believe the speed behind it. The web browsing is so much quicker, it is customizable, there are add ons to make the page look better and get to things easier and quicker, it has an easy to use interface, it is more secure, & it is very user friendly (what other web browser says oops this is embarrassing when it can't load something?) I am now proud to say that I am a devoted Mozilla Firefox user!
A web browser "sorts" things for you on the World Wide Web. It can show you web pages, pictures, videos, or other content. I could not imagine life without web browsers. I will be the first to admit the World Wide Web would be useless to me without web browser's. I would not know how to look up anything; school work, Facebook, music. The list can go on and on. Well, I guess I could look up school work in dictionary's and in encyclopedia's, but who does that anymore. Web browser's have changed our way of living, our way of life, our way of thinking!
The current 4 top web browser's are Firefox (46.4%), Internet Explorer 8 (16.2%), Chrome (13.6%), & Internet Explorer 7 (9.3%). Even if you combine Internet Explorer 7 & 8 you only get 29.8%. Firefox is by far the "master" of web browsing.
Browser Wars refers to when web browsers are competing to be the top dog of web browsing. Firefox and IE are the two that are at more of a war than any other two because they are the ones that are in competition for first place. Here is a link to an article that I found to be rather interesting. Here is a link that I found rather interesting. I agree with this article. Innovation is what drives competition. All web browsers are striving to be the best, faster, quicker, coming up with different ideas first, being the most secure.
With being the number one web browser comes power. They are able to pull the trump card. Firefox right now is the top dog of web browsing. They are able to receive more funds for ads that are displayed on their browser, because more people are seeing the ads. Just like with anything else in life what ever you are behind or what ever it is you stand for you strive for it to be the best. The developers of web browser's are no different. They want the money and power that comes with being #1!
