Till 2003 internet explorer has over 95% usage share in the browser market

But it can not retain to hold its position as the number one browser

[{"selector":"#anim-febdd908-5570-4634-8cb1-b97c18721f32","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-165f451e-4b45-443e-b4a5-09f047c5bf39","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(100.00000%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Microsoft did not follow the guidelines set by the World Wide Web Consortium, caused a bad user experience, and new better browsers in the market reduced the internet explorer's users
