Browser wars: Microsoft vs. Google vs. Mozilla

TGDaily reports that Microsoft's share of the Web browser market has fallen below 70% for the first time. The open source Firefox browser from the Mozilla organization now has over 20%, with other browsers like Safari and the iPhone Web browser picking up the rest. In a testament to the popularity of the iPhone, it's share of the Web browser market has tripled (but it is still very small).

In another TGDaily story, Google has begun to flex its muscles and has tossed both Internet Explorer and Firefox over the the side of the boat and told users of its free online applications and services to start using Chrome. This push by Google forebodes a replay of the Internet Explorer problems of the last ten years, where Microsoft made tweaks to their services to favor their own browser. If Google does this with Chrome, users will lose again, as Google could make it difficult to use their "free" apps unless you also use the Chrome browser.
