IE is approaching, and Microsoft will push new browsers after IE8

It is rumored that the last version of Internet Explorer, the browser with the highest market share, will be 8.0 that Microsoft will release soon. After that, Internet Explorer will be ruthlessly abandoned by Microsoft. Obviously, Microsoft needs an excellent browser to continue to fulfill its plan to dominate the global network, but Internet Explorer seems to be a little tired-although Microsoft has been constantly repairing it.

The question is, who will be the next successor of Internet Explorer? Before answering this question, let's take a look at the current browser market situation: Apple Safari and Google Chrome Windows versions based on the WebKit engine have just begun to emerge, however, the hidden strength is very powerful, and the ambitions of the two companies cannot be underestimated. Another popular browser, Firefox, is a powerful enemy of Internet Explorer. Therefore, if Microsoft wants to keep these browsers under its feet, it must come up with a better product than Internet Explorer.

People familiar with the Internet may recall that Microsoft was developing a mysterious new browser, Gazelle, on the Internet not long ago. It is suggested that it will probably be the successor of Internet Explorer. According to the leaked messages, Gazelle is basically a completely different browser from Internet Explorer, which can completely protect user information like an operating system, and can be shared between different websites as needed. This method makes Gazelle more secure and can process more dynamic pages at the same time.

Of course, if Microsoft really wants to discard Internet Explorer, the biggest problem it faces is that many individuals or companies have invested a lot of energy in developing ActiveX controls. In addition, many websites on the Internet are designed to optimize Internet Explorer 6, the chance of these websites having problems with HTML syntax may become a headache.

All in all, Microsoft has finally tasted the bitter fruits of its mistakes in Internet Explorer. Even if Microsoft is determined to discard the controversial software, it is not easy to see if it has more than 70% market share.
