Will Firefox Win The Browser War?
For as long as you can remember the basic 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 people that don't realize
Internet Explorer is only their browser and they can change if
they like. In fact, most folks believe Internet Explorer is the
only option for reaching the Internet. However, this is not the
case and there is a new kid on the block that is taking
advantage of the security issues Internet Explorer has
experienced and pulling a significant amount of market share in
a short period of time. This newcomer web browser is Firefox.
Firefox is a browser that focuses 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 choose a different browser than Internet Explorer due to
security issues IE was facing. This timing was perfect for
Firefox and when it was placed on the web for download there
were so many people
trying to download at once the server almost
could not handle all of the requests.
However, Firefox came through and many web surfers switched from
Internet Explorer. In fact, Internet Explorer held the market
share for web browsers at 95.5%, but has slipped to 92.9% in
just the few months Firefox has had its test version on the
market. This might seem like just a few percentage points, but
these percentage points represent 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 continues gaining market share as it has
then Firefox might come out on top. However, if IE works to fix
its security problems it can probably hold onto its 90% plus
market share. Only the future has the answer, we will just have
to wait and see.
