How about WWII?
Mozilla coming from the remnants of Netscape was like the transition from the decimated Weimar Republic to Third Reich, starting over.
Microsoft of course would represent USSR, and just to force the analogy, because their PR in retrospect seems to be terrible (this western education of mine re:USSR & considering that bashing MS is the standard online really).
And I guess that leaves Google with America, only entering into the (browser) war half way through.
Not implying anything about the future of course, just forcing an analogy.
(And sure, let's stretch it and have Safari as Britain, because it's an island, independent of the bigger land masses).
