That case was 1992, which today would not hold up due to the political shift of corporate power. Same as how in the 90's Microsoft couldn't monopolize with internet explorer, yet mobile devices are doing it every day in even worse fashion.
- JohnBooty 4y agoyet mobile devices are doing it every day in even worse fashion. Which mobile browser has 90%+ market share ala "peak" Internet Explorer in 2004? I hate being limited to Safari on iOS, but iOS has < 30% market share worldwide. Additionally, browsers are (highly unfortunately IMO) less relevant than in ~2004 when IE had a stranglehold on things.
