Then { -brand-name-microsoft } began shipping { -brand-name-ie } with their { -brand-name-windows } operating system. Within 4 years, it had 75% of the market and by 1999 it had 99% of the market. The company faced antitrust litigation over the move, and { -brand-name-netscape } decided to open source its codebase and created the not-for-profit <a href="{ $mozilla }">{ -brand-name-mozilla }</a>, which went on to create and release { -brand-name-firefox } in 2002. Realizing that having a browser monopoly wasn’t in the best interests of users and the open web, { -brand-name-firefox } was created to provide choice for web users. By 2010, { -brand-name-mozilla } { -brand-name-firefox } and others had <a href="{ $marketshare }">reduced { -brand-name-ie }’s market share to 50%</a>.

Zatem je { -brand-name-microsoft } pričel prilagati { -brand-name-ie } svojemu operacijskemu sistemu { -brand-name-windows }. V 4 letih je zavzel 75&nbsp;% tržišča, do leta 1999 pa ga je obvladoval že 99&nbsp;%. Zaradi te poteze se je podjetje soočilo s tožbami zaradi ustvarjanja monopola, { -brand-name-netscape } pa je sklenil izdati svojo kodo pod odprto licenco in ustanovil neprofitno organizacijo <a href="{ $mozilla }">{ -brand-name-mozilla }</a>. Ta se je zavedala, da monopol nad brskalniki ni v najboljšem interesu uporabnikov in odprtega spleta, in leta 2002 je izdala { -brand-name-firefox }, da bi uporabnikom spleta ponudila izbiro. Do leta 2010 so { -brand-name-mozilla } { -brand-name-firefox } in ostali brskalniki <a href="{ $marketshare }">znižali tržni delež { -brand-name-ie(sklon: "rodilnik") } na 50&nbsp;%</a>.
