These days, we know what we want our web browsers to do. The days of paying for web browsers (and yes kids, there were such days) are ancient history, as are the days of competing on fancy new features and the naked aggression of embrace and extend. They represent countless hours and millions of dollars of investment but they are a commodity that’s taken for granted and given away for free. They’re participants in an intense and never-ending competition with each other, with rapidly evolving web standards and ever-more cunning cyber-criminals. The major web browsers are fast, highly sophisticated pieces of software backed up by slick distribution channels and clever advertising. It’s your gateway to the web, a guardian against the multitude of infected websites and a foothold on your computer for some of the largest, most data-hungry organisations in the world.
