	Browser wars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term "browser wars" is the name given to the competition for dominance in the web browser marketplace.
		A popular web browser could earn a great deal of money: search engine companies would bid to be the default tool used in the web browser, and other companies with a web presence would bid to be listed in the default set of bookmarks which was preinstalled with the browser.
		Camino is a popular new Mozilla-based browser for the Mac OS X platform, and competes directly with Apple's Safari, using Mac's native Cocoa interface, instead of Mozilla's XUL which is used in Firefox.

	Netscape Navigator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Beta versions of the web browser were freely downloadable in mid- to late-1994, and version 1.0 of the browser was released by the end of the year.
		Browser market share, it was reasoned, leads to control over internet standards, and that in turn would provide the opportunity to sell software and services.
		Even on other platforms it was threatened, both by the gradual rise of open source browsers and by the August 1997 agreement that resulted in an investment of $150,000,000 by Microsoft in Apple, which included a requirement that Apple switch the default browser in new installations of Mac OS from Netscape to Internet Explorer.

		As it as always been, the browser wars seemed to be focused on the windows platform, not split between windows and mac.
		For a browser to replace IE it needs to load almost immediately (and hence be lightweight so the users don't mind having it preload in the background at startup) and, as importantly, it must give you the option of never seeing IE again (unless you choose to uninstall it).
		This war may be the more significant of the wars that are currently going on for these two companies are designing a product whose feature set and performance are not OS based.

	Browser Innovation
		A browser that knows how to render advanced CSS2 style rules, for example, is liable to take more time to display a page using those rules than one that doesn't, since browsers ignore code they don't understand.
		Browsers may use techniques to improve perceived performance (how fast the browser feels to the user) at the expense of the actual load performance.
		Browsers are the mechanism through which individual human beings access and manage this digital data.

		In 1997, Netscape's browser was a loss leader to sell more of its server software.This year, Netscape's funding of the open source Mozilla browser is a loss leader to give everyone a better browser.
		The answer is not definitive, but the prevailing thinking points to the third aspect of the browser war: it is the beginning of an even larger, if deeply curious, battle for the domination of the entire computer industry.
		The browser war may well be seen as nothing but a skirmish compared to what is coming.

	Lessons from the Browser Wars — HBS Working Knowledge
		Because different browsers require slightly different code to be viewable, it is costly for Webmasters to write for different types of browsers.
		While end-users don't know which browser other users are using, the developers of the content that make the browser so useful do care that everyone is using a similar browser.
		Firefox and the others have to get the installed base of IE users to switch to their browser, a much harder proposition than IE faced in the '90s when all it had to do was get new users to pick IE rather than Netscape as their first browser.

		The browser was called "WorldWideWeb" but was later renamed "Nexus" in order to avoid confusion between the browser itself and the cyberspace it viewed.
		Gecko, the software component in these browsers that handles the parsing of the HTML, the layout of the pages, the document object model, and even the rendering of the entire application interface, is a fast, standards-compliant rendering engine that implements the W3C DOM standards and the DOM-like (but not standardized) browser object model (i.e.,
		Though the application interface and the content displayed by the browser are different in many practical ways, the DOM exposes them uniformly as a hierarchy of nodes.

		However the NCSA Mosaic browser was favoured by the majority of graphical users of the WWW.
		More features and more bugs: A web browser had to have more new features than its competition, or else it would be considered to be "falling behind." But with a limited supply of manpower to put into development, this often meant that quality assurance suffered and that the software was released with serious bugs.
		Konqueror's KHTML engine was also used by Apple for its Safari browser, which is now the default browser on the Macintosh; another browser based on the Konqueror/Safari engine (aka Apple's WebKit) is the OmniWeb browser, which has additional features such as its use of miniature renderings (thumbnails) of pages as tabs.

		The company wanted to do a cross-platform browser to run on several operating systems, which is laudable in principle.
		Being rich, it had devoted two development teams to its Internet Explorer browser: one to keep advancing the old Mosaic code in competition with Netscape, and one to rewrite it with a component architecture, to leapfrog Netscape.
		And although Microsoft also produced browsers for other platforms, there was never any confusion about IE being not just designed for but integrated into Windows.

		Whether a statement of personal choice or a reaction to Microsoft, many users are switching to other, lesser-known browsers, resulting in an increase in their popularity.
		It is not, however, the browser part of the Mozilla suite; Firefox differs from Mozilla in many ways.
		According to an article by Nigel McFarlane at InformIT ("Smoke, Mirrors and Silence: The Browser Wars Reignite", May 28, 2004), "As of April 2004, independent statistics show Mozilla to be 4% or more of the global market, but for Web developers, use may be as high as 10%.

		The Browser Wars began when an unholy alliance of Microsoft, led by Billy 'The Kid' Gates, and the inhabitants of Cornwall declared total war on the previously unchallenged Netscape.
		The war was fought in five brutal and bloody stages as neither side cared for the casualty rate but was trying to seize as much of the landmass of the world as possible.
		After the war, citizens of the newly formed NU, or Nullified UnBrowsers, experienced economical prosperity, while NSFF was banned from having a military.

		But ironically, just when the future of Netscape's browser seems most tenuous, the browser wars have all but lost their significance.
		In the wake of last year's wave of layoffs, Netscape's giving away the source code of its flagship Navigator browser for free and launching the Mozilla project to coordinate future development was tantamount to an admission that it was losing the browser wars to Microsoft msft (nasdaq: msft - news - people).
		At the time, Zawinski says, the plan was a "beacon of hope" to those developers within Netscape who had fought the browser war in the trenches.

	The browser wars are back. By Paul Boutin - Slate Magazine
		Firefox is built and distributed free by the Mozilla Organization, a small nonprofit corporation spun off last year from the fast-fading remnants of Netscape, which was absorbed by AOL in 1999.
		Microsoft wiped out Netscape in the Browser Wars of the late 1990s not only because the company's management pushed the bounds of business ethics, but also because its engineers built a better browser.
		More common are those that stupidly turn non-Explorer browsers away by claiming they're "unsupported." Trusty, useful ActiveX-powered sites such as Windows Update don't load at all, but that's the idea.

		Indeed, after its very bumpy first few years, during which it was ignored and called a failure, the Mozilla project is now becoming the most interesting thing in browsers.
