The Ajax Experience: State Of The Browsers
The document discusses the history of browser wars between Netscape and Internet Explorer in the late 1990s. It covered how the browsers were deliberately incompatible to gain market share, but this approach did not work as users did not care about the browser. It then discusses compatibility patterns for dealing with browser differences, and examines some extensions made by browsers like Internet Explorer that eventually became standards. The document concludes by considering whether another browser war could emerge between current browsers like Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and Safari.
