Web browsers have been around since the 90s. Since then, competition has increased with emerging browsers such as Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera and Safari. Netscape's Navigator was a top browser during the late 1990s. The emerging browsers sprouted during 2003 in an IPO era. Android browsers today are fast and user friendly.

Recently, the introduction of HTML5, CSS 3, extensive client-side scripting to the World Wide Web and the adoption of our Android mobile smartphones and tablet devices have raised even more spark within competing for the best web browsers. According to a study by Chitika, The highest volume of iOS and Android Web traffic occurs at 10:00pm ET/7:00pm PT, indicating that late evening hours are the most popular browsing times for both sets of users. Android-based Web traffic volume is not nearly as volatile. Usage volume drops more steadily following peak hours, and in the morning rises to nearly the same point as the late-evening maximum.
