You should have made a new thread for that... <_<
It's about the same thing actually, in the nineties it was Netscape versus IE, both trying to redefine HTML4. I remember a news article from 1998 saying market shares were 50/50. And sites were saying things like this thread's topic.
Then Microsoft bundled IE for free with Windows 98, which started a lot of fuss. In 2004, Netscape fought back, after many iterations it had evolved into Firefox.
Now there is Apple with its Webkit, who wants to redefine HTML5, with no respect to the open standards of the W3C and other browsers.

It's tempting to use vendor specific CSS features when W3C is taking their time with putting things into their standard. I played around with them before, but never used them seriously.

Active Desktop wasn't very useful, it was more there to convince governments that IE was part of Windows now. It seems to have been fully removed post Win XP.

What kind of features would that be?

IIRC it was -moz-border-radius. For a time if you wanted rounded corners you had to use the browser specfic tags for it.

Nowadays just border-radius should work though (just put it in my layout for fun :P), so it's moot now.

Past tense. Do you have any present day examples?

Unfortunately no.

Rounded corners were something I stumbled upon as I thought it was part of the CSS standard back then (rounded corners are a Web 2.0 cliché), but it wasn't. Most sites were using image hacks rather than using browser specific tags though (might be what I did for the website back then). Otherwise there hadn't been any other browser-specfic tags that I needed to use.
