Listen "The Internet Explorer Story: Part 6"
Episode Synopsis
Internet Explorer had new competition by the mid-2000s, as Firefox rose from the ashes of Netscape, and Apple released the first version of its Safari browser for Mac. Security vulnerabilities and poor web standards support were also holding the browser back, and Internet Explorer 7 didn't do much to change that.
Hosted by Corbin Davenport, guest starring Cody Toombs.
