Browser Wars (Chp 17)

Every computer or laptop comes with a standard issued web browser, such as Internet Explorer for Microsoft and Safari for MAC.  Now with a competitive market, newer internet browsers have emerged to give these standard models a run for their money.  Google Chrome was created my internet conglomerate Google. Chrome's approach to the internet was simplicity.  Most internet browsers already introduced the tab concept for its user's, but Google Chrome took it a step further.  They were the first search engine to introduce thumbnails that showed users previous visits.  A less popular browser is the classic Internet explorer. Since Internet Explorer is open source, meaning its accessible to everyone, it ultimately made it vulnerable to cyber attacks.  Other web browsers such as FireFox which is the standard for Linux and Bing have entered the competitive market by storm.
