[IT Note] Browser War: Google Chrome vs MS IE
Around 1990, the dot-com boom began, as the PC and Internet were being developed.
Netscape Navigator was the first leading browser, and Microsoft's Internet Explorer (shortly, IE) followed, but Navigator held a 70% share of the PC market until 1998.
Microsoft's Windows PC, on the other hand, surpassed 90% market share, and MS included Internet Explorer preloaded with the Windows operating system, prompting the US Department of Justice to sue MS in the US Supreme Court for antitrust violations.
The US Supreme Court, on the other hand, confirmed that the local court's order was reversed and remanded for the drafting of a new order.
So, finally, in 1998-001, the United States government recognized the benefits of merging a web browser into an operating system, and there were some issues that the US government dropped Section 1 of the Sherman Act - it would have had to prove that Microsoft's instance of tying caused more harm than good.
As a result of this result, even Microsoft provided a web browser selection option to PC makers or customers, but "Windows OS + IE" dominated for over a decade, but "Android + Chrome" & "iOS + Safari" have copied MS to gain market share.
From 2007 to 2020, Microsoft lost the mobile OS war to Android and iOS, which means that MS IE/Edge will lose its dominant position.
Furthermore, Google Chrome is more competitive than Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Google Chrome was able to become the number one web browser in the market by offering a number of advantages over Microsoft Internet Explorer, such as:
Overall, Google Chrome's combination of speed, simplicity, security, extensions, cross-platform compatibility, and innovation has made it a popular and widely used web browser, helping it to surpass Microsoft Internet Explorer in market share.
