Battle of the Browsers

Undoubtedly, two mega giants control the Internet browser market: Microsoft and Google. Like the article, "The second browser war," confirms, Microsoft's Internet Explorer and and Google's Firefox dominate the browser scene.

I have found Firefox to be much more reliable and easier to use; however, I only recently switched over. Why? Because Microsoft had Internet Explorer already loaded onto my PC. It was much more convenient to simply use what I had. I find this to be the case most of the time with dominant trends.

I have not had the chance to try out Chrome but it sounds like a well-thought out browser plan. I also like that Google browsers are open-source which means each individual user can change or rewrite the software how they prefer.
