With Internet Explorer 8 is available now, Microsoft can hope to continue the domination of the market most vehement opponents of open-source Mozilla Firefox or Opera browser feature packed. History can give us an idea of what the future of the Web browser / navigation? How did Netscape browser, a dominant 89.36% market share of all web browsers and in 1996 only 3.76% in mid-1999?
Let’s take a trip, which starts long before the spiritual concept of Internet Explorer, with a view to its longtime rival defeated, to examine the current browser and ends with a forecast about the future of shipping we offer - and browser ( s) are always around him.
People often think that the Internet Explorer has been the main Web browser since the golden age of the Internet has begun. Well now very long, it was in fact the most popular browsers, and sometimes almost unrivaled. This is mainly a consequence of that are free packaged with Microsoft Windows, what some people call later a brutal attempt by the monopolization of Microsoft. The past few years, however, have announced the emergence of new, larger than the browser. Mozilla Firefox has been particularly well in the hands of gravel Explorer to dominance in the market. Where it started, and why Microsoft has allowed one hundred percent dominant position in the market?
Looking back
The truth is that they never total domination, but sometimes they are very close to come. Microsoft actually in the Battle of the browser rather late. Because a man named Neil Larson is credited, one of the initiators of the Internet browser, while in 1977, it was a program - the TRS-80 - which allows the navigation between the “locations” by hyper-jumps. It is a DOS-based program and the basis for much more to come. Slowly, other browsers by the DOS and inspired by the TRS-80 have been developed. Unfortunately, they are often restricted by the limits of the still very young, Internet itself.
In 1988, Peter Scott Earle Fogel, and created a simple, fast browser Hytelnet, which in 1990 offered to users of instant connection and access to online catalogs of more than five thousand libraries in the world - an exciting taste of what the Internet and the Web browser, will soon be able to offer.
In 1989, the World Wide Web is born. NeXT Cube with a computer, Tim Berners-Lee has a Web browser would change how people used the Internet, forever. He called his WorldWideWeb browser (http://www. “Who is still may be the users of the Internet today. It was a browser window, capable of the stylesheet easy situation, d ‘edit the sites and the ability , Download and open any file with the support of the NeXT Cube.
In 1993 the first graphical browser popular again in freedom. His name was Mosaic and it was by Marc Andreessen and Eric Bina. Mosaic could be managed, both on Unix, and very important to the very popular Microsoft Windows operating system (in fact it could also be used on the Amiga and Apple computers). It was the first Windows browser can display graphics / photos on a page, where there are also text content. It is often seen as responsible for triggering the Internet boom to it by Internet make bearable for the masses. (It should be noted that the Web browser for cello was the first browser, Windows may be used - but not graphic and very little about the impact compared to the mosaic).
The War of the browser - Netscape browser Internet Explorer
Mosaics of decline began when Netscape Navigator was released (1994). Netscape Navigator is a browser, by Marc Andreessen, one of the men, Mosaic and co-founder of Netscape Communications Corporation. Netscape has been without equal in terms of functionality and ease of use in time. For example, an important change in the last browser he has been admitted to see the surfers parts of a site, especially the website. This means that people did not have to wait for the minutes only to see the site where they were loaded, was the realization was in turn giving them to read the information on the website that the remains are downloaded. In 1996, Netscape had almost 90% of the domination of the market, as indicated below.
Market share of the comparison of Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer from 1996 to 1998
……………….. ……. Netscape IE
October 1998 ………. 64 %……… 32.2%
April 1998 ………… 70 %……… 22.7%
October 1997 ………. 59.67 %…… 15.13%
April 1997 ………… 81.13 %…… 12.13%
October 1996 ………. 80.45 %…… 12.18%
April 1996 ………… 89.36 %……. 3.76%
In these two years, Netscape clearly dominates the market for Internet browsers, but a new Internet Explorer browser, the name was soon on the rise.
Microsoft has its own browser (ironically, based on the Mosaic browser, was one of the men currently Netscape), clearly concerned about the dominance of Netscape. It was not the concern as if he had a 100% market share of the Internet browser to its Windows operating system, but more the concern that the browser will be able to soon, all kinds of programs. This would mean, particularly the need for a real operating system, no longer or only a very basic need. This would mean, Netscape will soon be in a position to dictate the terms of Microsoft, Microsoft and do not leave, which is very easy. So, in August 1995, Internet Explorer has been published.
In 1999, Internet Explorer, has renewed a 89.03% market share while Netscape fell to 10.47%. As Internet Explorer could be plenty of that in just two years? Well, this figure was two things. The first and by far the most important thing is that Microsoft Internet Explorer with every new copy of Windows and Windows is used by about 90% of computers with the population, they were clearly a big advantage. Internet Explorer has another ace, he held more than Netscape - it is much better. Netscape Navigator and was stagnant for some time. The only new features, seems never make it, often by the public as a positive for Netscape’s parent company Netscape, as that of the users. (ie, characteristics that helps to monopolize the market). Explorer, on the other hand, has a lot of attention from Microsoft. Regular updates and an excellent user-friendliness, more than one hundred million U.S. dollars investment would be too much for Netscape Explorer.
2000 - 2005
Those years were pretty quiet in the battle of browsers. It seemed as if Internet Explorer has won the war, and no one could even hope to compete with him. In the year 2002/2003, reaching about 95% of market share - in the time of IE 5 / 6 With more than 1000 people who work with him and several million dollars paid, because few people have the necessary resources to tackle the competition. Then again, wanted to keep? It was apparently a very unstable market, and beyond that the whole world was satisfied with Internet Explorer. Where are they? Some people have the error with IE - issues of security, the incompatibility of issues or just bad planning. Not only that, it was the oppressive peoples in the throat. He had almost no competition for the adjustment or for an alternative. It had to change. The only people with the ability and power to compete with Microsoft has the matter in the hands.
Netscape is now supported by AOL. Some years before, immediately after the war lost the browser from Microsoft, they gave the coding for Netscape in the public sector. In other words, each person can develop their own Netscape browser, with the skeleton. And people do not. Epiphany, Galeon and Camino, among others, are born from the ashes of Netscape. But the two most popular of the newcomers were invited, Mozilla and Firefox.
Mozilla was originally an open-source project to improve the Netscape browser. It was finally released, that Netscape Navigator 7 and 8 He was later released, such as Mozilla 1.0.
Mozilla is almost an older version on another open-source browser Firefox. By a source of the public were able to contribute to it - add, it needs the programming, it needs and the support it deserves. The problems have in Internet Explorer by members of the open-source browser Firefox. For example, the many questions of security IE 6 has been almost entirely defined in the first version of Firefox. Microsoft had another battle on their hands.
2005 - Present
Firefox is the browser, which grew and grew over the past few years. Each year, the inclusion of an even greater percentage of the market share that in the past. Easy to use, that most of his rivals and the high security and without doubt more intelligent planning helped his popularity. With such a large community behind programming, the updates regularly and were always on the Add / functions are often back in freedom. He is proud of its browser peoples. He currently has a share of 28.38% market share.
Apple computers have their own browser since the mid-1990 - Safari - with its own problems, including (until recently) the inability of the execution of Java script. But most users of Apple seems happy with her work and a version for Windows was released. He had no great rival Apple in the Mac, and in this framework was largely due to the browser war. He currently holds a share of 2.54% market share and will always be slower.
Internet Explorer market share fell by more than 90% to about 75% and is declining. It will be interesting to see what Microsoft will try to return such a high market share.
Opera currently holds 1.07%.
Mozilla itself has only a 0.6% market share in these days.
The future of navigation on the Web
Web browsers come and go. It is the nature of the technology (if such a word can be used), less than replacing the software in a very short time. It is almost impossible for a single company to stay ahead of the competition for a long time. Microsoft has the advantage of being in a position to liberate IE with Windows with every PC. Who more than 90% of the market. They also have the advantage that resources like never before. You can compete as they like as long as they wish. There is not compatible with IE on the future of navigation on the Web.
Safari is in a similar position as easily the most popular Web browser Mac. His long-term survival depends on Apple and the sale of computers.
These are the only two browsers, which are almost guaranteed a further period of five years of life, at least. Firefox May seem another candidate, but the public is volage, and poor implementation freedom, or whether it is seriously behind the new Internet Explorer 8 long, can easily see its popularity rise rapidly in virtual obscurity.
However, it seems likely, community, focusing on the browser such as Mozilla and Firefox, all types of browser can do it with the poor rich Internet by Microsoft in the near future.
In terms of navigation on the network itself, they will in the near future? Now, he has already for some online communities. For instance, if you want to buy clothes, you can try an online “world”, a virtual go online “business to business” in search of products and try to / what you buy. Some “worlds” you can now also with accuracy the weight and size and then try to do things such as clothing, jeans, to give you an idea, as you can see on this issue.
Will “worlds”, as usual, destroy the Web browser like IE? — It seems unlikely. Traditional Web browser such freedom and the easy access that it is difficult to see any other form of support. However, they are part of the new thinking on the “wave of alternatives that some people find attractive, and who really knows what the future brings.Read more information by clicking the links below:
