LOL! Aol has got its own problems. I bought AOL @ 12 so I think I know. >>SAN DIEGO (CBS.MW) -- The browser war, which ran hot and heavy for an interval in the 1990s, is all but over, according to researchers at WebSideStory.
The firm, which tracks the activities of millions of Internet users, said Wednesday that 96 percent of surfers use Internet Explorer, the browser developed by Microsoft (MSFT: news, chart, profile), compared to 3.4 percent for Netscape. "The browser war is in fact a massacre," said Geoff Johnston, vice president of StatMarket, a WebSideStory unit. "The newest versions of Netscape have failed to win over users."
AOL Time Warner (AOL: news, chart, profile) acquired Netscape several years ago. "Unless AOL makes a move soon, Netscape may find itself battling Opera for the last 1 or 2 percent of the market," Johnston said. A year ago, Netscape was used by 13 percent of Web surfers. << Btw I wonder if Billy is still using Netscape's browser? |
