The Internet browser’s are at war again! And how!
Mozilla has recently announced that it will be releasing its much awaited Firefox browser version 4, which will prove to be a highly critical moment for Mozilla that first challenged the gigantic Internet explorer in 2004. But Mozilla now finds itself not only taking on Microsoft but Google as well!
Last week, Microsoft launched its latest version of IE at a swanky event in Texas. With an interesting and highly interactive graphics-rich presentation, Microsoft displayed the various features and capabilities of IE9 – showing how IE9 is indeed superior to Firefox and Chrome. IE9 and Firefox 4 are the only browsers that offer the “Do Not Track” function, which allows the user to notify advertisers and websites that they do not want their online history to be tracked. This puts Google on the spot, as it is a major Internet advertising company that is in charge of all the tracking, but does not know whether it should put the same feature on its browser.
Yes, this is soon going to be a renewal of the browser wars. What with state of the art facilities being pushed around, this war is going to be unlike anything that has occurred in the last decade. Mozilla on the other hand, has acknowledged that it cannot match the combined resources of Google and Microsoft, but it has also said that Firefox 4 will be equal to or even superior in performance to both the other browsers.
