Microsoft still dominates the browser market with Internet Explorer but recently they have showed some slight weakness. BusinessWeek reports that IE's reach dropped from 95.6% in June to 93.7% in September and that competing Mozilla browsers gained slightly. BusinessWeek also says Mozilla is coming out with a new browser later this Fall called Firefox 1.0. Most of Microsoft's losses can be blamed on security issues as web surfers are now bombed with spam, pop-ups and spyare. There is also still a persistent web rumor that Google may enter the browser wars down the road. However, the ultimate winner may be the company that manages to come up with a browser that adds another layer of encryption for the surfer -- without slowing things down.
