Didn’t Firefox rise from the ashes during the years of Internet Explorer’s waning monopoly? How did Firefox “take back the web” pre- Google funding?

- notpushkin 2y agoI think Google funding was there from early on. (Though I suppose it’s also because there was less corporate bullshit going on in Mozilla’s early days.)
- kelnos 2y agoIt was a lot easier to build and maintain a web browser back then than it is today.
- pseudalopex 2y agoIt didn't. Mozilla were part of AOL until 2003. Google funding started in 2004. They released Firefox 1.0 in late 2004. And web browsers were much simpler then.
