At the dawn of the Internet Age — way back in the mid 1990’s, — Microsoft and Netscape waged what came to be known as the Browser Wars, a battle for the hearts and minds of Internet users. We all know who came out on top then.

With the release of Mozilla Firefox in 2004, a second battle commenced that continues today. It is more competition than conflict this time around, and as a result we have a lot more choices than we did in the days when Webvan seemed like a good idea. For those of you reading this blog on a version of Internet Explorer, I encourage you to investigate other ‘user agent’ options available to you for browsing the web; you might be surprised at what you find. Oh yeah, of course: I am an avid Firefox user with some Camino thrown in occasionally for flavor.
