Mozilla Foundations efforts with Firefox have started to show its effects. They have seen millions of downloads by the web users ever since the first final version was launched a couple of months back. Now the browser has taken up around 5% of the web browsers market and reports say that for the first time in many years, Microsoft Internet Explorer has seen its market share drop to below 90%.
The results are quite amazing. Microsoft has felt the pressure and have announced the plans to release an updated Internet Explorer which would be released as version 7 for current versions of Microsoft Windows. Opera is almost ready with the final version 8 of their browser, which comes with advanced features to knock off phishing attempts by malicious websites. In all, it all is creating a problem for Microsoft as the users are beginning to look towards alternative browsers.
Latest news in is even more interesting. It can be considered as a possible revival of the demised Netscape Browser as the parent company AOL has opened its doors to the public by releasing the first beta of the Netscape 8 Browser.
