Browsers Are a Battleground Once Again

Do you remember the web browser called Netscape ?

On May 2008, 73.75 percent of all computer owners are using Internet Explorer made by Microsoft, according to Net Applications, a market share tracking firm. Recently Explorer is losing market share. Firefox made by Mozilla is
rapidly gaining usage share. Safari made by Apple is gaining market share little by little.
What happens in the web browser market?
Now browser is the way onto the broad horizon of the Web. It is migrating tasks like e-mail and word processing from the PC to the Internet. The latest wave of innovation rekindles the browser wars.

After 5 years, which browser will survive?

As a web browser user, I live in a environment which is compelling web users to use IE.... To tell the truth, I have no other option to choose but IE. Recently I bought iPod Touch which is equipped with Safari web browser by Apple. I heard that Safari is more convenient to use than IE. From now on, I could not find any difference between IE and Safari. But I feel a kind of delight from using Safari because I have chosen to use a different web browser other than IE.

The internet banking systems have to support firefox or other new web broswer to increase its market share . This is one of reasons of why the marketshare of firefox is so low in Korea.
