  • With the creation of the World Wide Web in the 1990's many companies vied for the position of most used web browser, even to the point of some rather questionable business practices.

    Hearing about how many modern browsers derived themselves from Mosaic (the first popular browser) reminds me of Greek mythology. It's sort of like Cronus was overthrown by his own child Zeus, and now nobody prays to Cronus anymore. Add in petty fighting with statues at headquarters and it's basically a re-enactment

    I was an internet developer when IE came out. I remember seeing the shift from Netscape to IE in the monthly WebTrends reports. I solidly believe that if Gore won the 2000 election and the new Attorney General didn't have the suit against MS tossed, the company would have been split.

    Software $$ vs. Freeware. On a quick review of the comments I don't think anyone has mentioned this. Netscape was 'shareware' but to unlock their best, most powerful features you paid for the Software $$. When IE from Microsoft came out, it was FREE and almost or close to as powerful ! IE came with windows (which you paid for or was included when you bought a PC). Side note, Windows 8 and 10 ... remember Windows 7 and before, when you PAID for the software or Upgrade :-p

    Part of IE taking hold from Netscape also had to do with how $#%^%$^#%$ Netscape 4 was to develop websites for. Literally 95% of development time was done towards making the web browser not fudge up between different PATCH levels of NS4.
    I mean... yeah, web development today can get to be annoying with browser compatibility... but compared to the days of people still using NS4.. it is a fucking sweet ass heaven of delight.
    Fuck... I'm trying to forget the annoyance that developing for Netscape 4 was... uuuuggg!

    Netscape wanted money for me to continue to use it's browser. I was poor back then and quickly looked for a browser to use instead. With the aid of USENET I found MOSAIC and started using that. Then for some reason I finally saw an ICON on my screen called Internet Explorer so I started to use that, and it's upgrades were free. It was a part of Win95.

    @timharig Před 6 lety +5

    This, like so many explanations of the browser wars, misses much of the point. What did Microsoft gain by giving away a free product? Where did Microsoft get its money from?
    The answer is that the browser war actually had little to do with the browsers themselves. The real money was in commercial servers. This was the time that every company felt that it suddenly needed a web presence and they wanted products with support contracts.
    Netscape had a leading advantage in that market by adding extra functionality developers could use between Netscape Web servers and Netscape browsers, where they had marketshare. Microsoft really wanted into what was developing into a lucrative market. Microsoft's advantage would be bundling into its dominant OS and they created features that only worked between IIS and Internet Explorer. When IE became the dominate browser, IIS overcame Netscape's dominance in the server market and MS became a semi-viable server producer alongside a market that had been almost completely *nix dominated.
    That is how Microsoft monetized from offering a free browser. That is what the browser wars were really about. It was all about selling web servers.
