One other important point to make about Internet Explorer is that the different versions
differ greatly. Version 10 of Internet Explorer was released in 2012, but many users
haven’t upgraded from version 9, version 8, or even version 7. Internet Explorer differs
widely between versions, so to get a site to work properly you need to test in each ver-
sion. Web publishers have dropped support for version 6, and most have also dropped
version 7, and Microsoft recommends that all users upgrade to a newer version. And
in 2015 Microsoft released a new browser Microsoft Edge—the default browser for
Windows 10.Mozilla Firefox
Mozilla Firefox is a free, open source web browser that makes up roughly 15% of the
browser market as of July 2015. Netscape Navigator was the first popular commercial
web browser. Version 1.0 was released in 1994. In 1998, Netscape Communications
opened the source code to their web browser and assigned some staff members to work
on making it better. Seven years and many releases later, the result of that effort was
Mozilla Firefox. Netscape Communications, since acquired by America Online, no longer
has any official ties to the Mozilla Foundation, which is now an independent nonprofit
organization.FIGURE 1.5
