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>.

接下来，{ -brand-name-microsoft } 开始将 { -brand-name-ie } 与 { -brand-name-windows } 操作系统捆绑发行。四年内，IE 获得了 75% 的市场份额，到 1999 年甚至达到了 99% 。此举最终使 { -brand-name-microsoft } 面临反垄断诉讼。意识到垄断浏览器市场并不符合用户与开放网络的最佳利益后，{ -brand-name-netscape } 决定开放源代码，转型为非营利的 <a href="{ $mozilla }">{ -brand-name-mozilla }</a>，并于 2002 年发布 { -brand-name-firefox }。到了 2010 年，{ -brand-name-mozilla } { -brand-name-firefox } 及其他浏览器将 <a href="{ $marketshare }">{ -brand-name-ie } 的市场份额降低到 50%</a>。
