    Well when it was just IE, Netscape and Opera… IE was the best browser. It won. Hands down.

      It won but it was not the best browser. It was slower, and never fully met web standards. Many sites had to write different formatting code for IE specifically. It was a nightmare from the back end.

        Yeah, but it just worked better. I remember doing all the cludges and hacks for IE. The bad taste in my mouth is still largely the reason I hate doing web ui work.

        It’s interesting to see the similarities between the market when IE was king and now with chrome. I prefer to use Firefox, but there are just so many sites that only work with chrome. Etc.
