Starting from the basis that these software solutions are the ones that really serve as a platform for connecting to the network, their importance is undeniable.

Beginning of the browser wars

However, and mainly for this same reason, the battle between the different developers of these programs is fierce. At this time, when talking about these software solutions, the proposals of Google, Mozilla or Microsoft with Chrome, Firefox or Edge. But only a few years ago there were other products leading this sector, we refer to programs of the importance of Internet Explorer or Netscape.

Well, we tell you all this because on this day, October 20, the United States Department of Justice sues the developers of Internet Explore. As you can imagine we are referring to Microsoft, and the lawsuit was based on the abuse of power by including Internet explorer implicitly in Windows.

In fact, for many, the so-called browser war began there, which in one way or another still continues to this day.

It was there that he developed both the graphics and the logo for the popular game. In addition, he also actively participated in other video games such as Galaga or Dig Dug. Therefore, many of his predecessors in this sector of video game development have come together to remember his work over the last few hours.
