content: This part made me chuckle.  After the vicious early days when the world of Web browsers closely resembled the ruthless world of the railroad barons a century earlier, the browser market settled down to something pretty boring. First there was IE and Firefox. A few years later, Apple introduced Safari. Several years after that, Google launched Chrome.  Firefox is a bastard child of Netscape Navigator and there was a time before that. Saying "First there was IE and Firefox" is leaving out half the story.
