      Hell, when they were Netscape they lost to IE. IE became the default that it did because Netscape Navigator would take 5 minutes to boot up, and would load pages slower too.

        Yes. Because Microsoft lost an entire gigantic anti-trust case over building the Browser into the OS.

        Of course it loaded faster when MS poisoning the well of open web standards with embrace and extend.

        And we have the records to prove this.

          You’re merging two different events into one.
          I’m talking about the rise of IE. When it was an outright better browser. You’re talking about events that happened when it was at its peak popularity, but was an outright outdated browser, coincidentally just when Chrome was ramping up.

          Just like Firefox is now over Chrome.

          Except now, with Google doing things MS never even dreamed of, there isn’t whisper of any investigation or sanctions from the EU.
