The outside world's hustle and bustle did not affect the fierce competition between Netscape and Microsoft.
To win the favor of new users, both had been adding new features to their browsers in a game of catch-up.
At the beginning of August, Microsoft had deployed thousands of personnel, and the much-anticipated Navigator 3.0 version was finally released.

Although it was still slightly inferior to Explorer 4.0, the gap was not significant, and Microsoft was about to catch up with Netscape's pace.
After all, Seattle had nearly 30,000 employees and close to a billion US dollars in funds to splurge, so it was understandable that their iteration speed was a bit faster.
Even to make up for the insufficiency of plugins in their own app store, Microsoft's engineers personally filled these gaps.
