Microsoft eventually chose to embed its browser inextricably into its operating systems. This effectively meant that you had to buy a Microsoft operating system if you wanted to use Internet Explorer and was said to have an unfair competitive advantage and have a monopolistic advantage. Microsoft is now before the courts of America and may even see the company broken up if its competitors and the legal system have their way. Currently there are many Web browsers available over and above the standard but very popular Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Critics frequently disagree over which browser is superior.
Most people prefer whichever browser they used first.
Some browsers are quite small whilst others are very large and may take up quite a lot of space on your computer and need significant set-up time. Yet others can be very personalised with your own screen look, feel and sound to them. Almost all these browsers can be obtained over the Internet. You should feel free to download whichever one you are currently not using and take it for a test-drive. Charging a fee is virtually unheard of.
