It had competition from Apple and IBM. But look Windows domination was ended by Android and Apple IOS. Same happen with Explorer which was killed by ooensource products like Firefox and later Chrome

The death of IE was helped greatly by antitrust action by the EU.

If you think MSFT wouldn’t have snuffed out Firefox and Chrome the moment they got a chance you’re greatly mistaken.

How would they have ‘snuffed out’ chrome?

Chrome performed better than any other browser at the time it came out, and was advertised in the most prominent place in the world.

How would MS have stopped it?
