Browser War 2: Standards strikes back
The document discusses the "Browser Wars" between Internet Explorer and Netscape in the 1990s which was won by Internet Explorer. It then discusses how standards have struck back in the "Browser Wars 2" with a movement towards more open and standardized web development. The document advocates for developing sites according to open web standards to ensure compatibility across different browsers and devices rather than targeting a single browser through proprietary technologies. It provides examples of how some government and bank sites in countries like South Korea and India broke in non-Internet Explorer browsers due to their reliance on proprietary technologies of IE.
