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>.

接下來，{ -brand-name-microsoft } 開始將 { -brand-name-ie } 與 { -brand-name-windows } 作業系統整合在一起發行。不到 4 年，IE 獲得了 75% 的市場；到 1999 年甚至有 99% 的市佔率，使得 { -brand-name-microsoft } 面臨了反壟斷的訴訟。意識到壟斷瀏覽器市場並不是使用者與網路環境的最佳利益後，{ -brand-name-netscape } 也決定要將其程式碼完全公開，轉型成非營利的 <a href="{ $mozilla }">{ -brand-name-mozilla }</a> 並於 2002 年發布 { -brand-name-firefox }。到了 2010 年，{ -brand-name-mozilla } { -brand-name-firefox } 及其他瀏覽器使得 <a href="{ $marketshare }">{ -brand-name-ie } 的市占率降回到 50%</a>。
