How the Internet Began Exercise Questions


Today, people who use the Internet are only allowed to use the browser Internet Explorer since Netscape had shut down. They are also allowed to use Opera, whose operations started in 1994 and continue today, Safari, and Mozilla Firefox. Though some people have to use all because of the features provided for each browser and people need a certain feature and maybe only one browser has it. For a long time, Netscape and Microsoft were competing in order to attract developers to the features of their browsers, which eventually became known as the "browser wars." It eventually ended with Netscape shutting down its operations to users. Today, around 33% of users use Firefox 3, 25% and 26% of users use Internet Explorer 6 and 7, 9% use Firefox 2 while the rest make up the other internet browers such as Opera and Safari. (graph) I'm not sure, but I believe that most mobile devices such as iPhones and cell phones like to use either the Internet Explorer browser or the Safari browser. In my estimate, the W3C has published at least several standards, such as HTML, XML, RDF, and OWL. There are many more standards that W3C, but I don't know at the moment. Every Internet browser support HTML, since it is the basic form. XML is mostly supported by Microsoft Office and Apple's iWork. RDF is supported by groups not known worldwide, such as Creative Commons or MusicBrainz. OWL does not many well-known supporters and I am unsure as to who even supports OWL.
