History WebComic / IMadeAComicAboutInternetExplorer

** Firefox is first introduced as an aloof, but popular newer browser who is dismissive of Internet Explorer due to the latter being comparatively old, [[spoiler:but she comes to respect Internet Explorer after the latter transforms into Microsoft Edge]]. She's also dismissive to Duck Duck Go, [[spoiler:but eventually and wholeheartedly asked for her help to fight off Chrome]] and UC, but that's because she ''[[UnknownRival literally had no idea on who UC is]]'' due to China's refusal to advertise her outside her home region.

* BoobsOfSteel: Internet Explorer, especially when she becomes [[spoiler:Microsoft Edge]].

* ArtShift: [[spoiler: The FinalBattle between Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge is illustrated almost entirely by artists other than Princess Hinghoi. It certainly exemplifies the JustForFun/HolyShitQuotient.]]
* {{BFS}}: [[spoiler: As Microsoft Edge, Explorer's weapon and the weapon she uses in her FinalBattle with Chrome is a giant sword.]]

** [[spoiler: Netscape Navigator was one of the first web browsers made, but with the rise of Internet Explorer she became obsolete and was eventually banned to the Deep Web.]]
* BullyingADragon: Google Chrome's bad treatment of World Wide Web comes back to bite her ''hard'', when the latter gets [[spoiler: Bing]] to free her and prepares to wreak havoc upon the entire internet to get her revenge.

* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler: Netscape Navigator, due to being discontinued, cannot exist outside of the Deep Web.]]
** [[spoiler: Later, Bing is also seemingly murdered by Chrome for her RAM, though she's later confirmed to have survived the attack.]]
* DarkerAndEdgier: The comic's story became a lot more serious after [[spoiler: the apparent death of Bing and Internet Explorer's escape from the Deep Web]].

** World Wide Web. Continuous verbal and physical abuse from Google Chrome has made her bitter and vengeful, so much so that after she is finally freed by [[spoiler: Bing]] she turns into an OmnicidalManiac with plans of destroying the ''entire internet'' once and for all.
* HateSink: [[BigBad Google Chrome]] and [[TheDragon Opera]] are both internet browsers with aspirations of power. Google Chrome tortured Bing for her RAM and ultimately left her a hollow husk. Opera [[spoiler: pretends to team up with Internet Explorer but backstabs her solely so she can keep on living off Google's Chromium OS.]]
* HostileShowTakeover: Kind of in the Youtube series, which featured something of an anime ending sequence. By default it featured Internet Explorer, but at some points, the background fizzles and Chrome takes over. When Chrome became the more prominent character of the story/videos (like when she served the Users successfully or brutally murdered [[spoiler: Bing]]), it starts and begins with Chrome, complete with her own VillainSong.

** [[spoiler: Internet Explorer transforming into Microsoft Edge.]]
** [[spoiler: Firefox upgrading to Firefox Quantum.]]
* NotSoDifferentRemark: Google rightfully points out that [[spoiler: Internet Explorer all but wiped Netscape Navigator from existence, as she did to Bing, and that both Internet Explorer and Google are owned by greedy multimillion-dollar corporations.]]
* PunchClockVillain: Opera. She only works for Google Chrome because she needs her Chromium OS to survive and chickens out the second it becomes clear that [[spoiler: Microsoft Edge]] is way too strong for her.

* {{BFS}}: [[spoiler: As Microsoft Edge, Explorer's WeaponOfChoice and the weapon she uses in her FinalBattle with Chrome is a giant sword.]]

* BlueIsHeroic: Internet Explorers clothing and hair is mostly blue and she's the closest thing to a protagonist the series has.

* PunchClockVillain: Opera. She only works for Google Chrome because she needs her Chromium OS to survive and chickens out the second it becomes clear that [[spoiler: Microsoft Edge]] is way too strong for her.

* GenderFlip: The [[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/internet-explorer/april-fools-2019/viewer?title_no=219164&episode_no=48 April Fools 2019]] episode featured male versions of both Internet Explorer and Google Chrome.

** Firefox is first introduced as an aloof, but popular newer browser who is dismissive of Internet Explorer due to the latter being comparatively old, [[spoiler:but she comes to respect Internet Explorer after the latter transforms into Microsoft Edge]].

** Firefox has shades of this, [[spoiler:but she comes to respect Internet Explorer after the latter transforms into Microsoft Edge]].
** Google Chrome, on the other hand, fully embraces this trope.

* {{BFS}}: [[spoiler: As Microsoft Edge, it's Explorer's WeaponOfChoice and the weapon she uses in her FinalBattle with Chrome.]]

* DarkerAndEdgier: The comic's story became a lot more serious after [[spoiler: the death of Bing and Internet Explorer's escape from the Deep Web]].

* GreaterScopeVillain: Article 13.
** The corporation creators that created the browsers can count. Microsoft Corporation left Internet Explorer wane out and then die in the Dark Web (but still allowed her to rise as Microsoft Edge). Google Corporation has such utter perfectionist streak that any of their failed products will be discarded remorselessly, as [[WebComic/ConsoleWaifu it happened to]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVA38lzMfQM Stadia]], perhaps explaining why Chrome is such a ruthless bitch. And whichever company created Naenara, they locked her up in her area that she became very lonely despite her capabilities.

* HostileShowTakeover: Kind of, in the Youtube videos which featured something of an anime ending sequence. By default it featured Internet Explorer, but at some points, the background fizzles and Chrome takes over. When Chrome became the more prominent feature of the story/video (like when she served the Users successfully or brutally murdering Bing), it starts and begins with Chrome, complete with her own VillainSong.

Also recurring within Merryweatherey and Princess Hinghoi's pages are comics entailing AnthropomorphicPersonification of video game platforms, be it handheld or console or PC or cellphone games.

Compare ''WebComic/StalkerXStalker'', another twitter webcomic by this duo, and ''WebOriginal/OSTan,'' a similar concept from the decade prior.

* SpinOffspring: Though not exactly descendants, the Video Game console comic spin-off can count as this. After all, some of the characters were created by the same multibillionare companies (Microsoft created both Internet Explorer and Xbox, Google created Chrome and Stadia. Technically, they're sisters.)

* GreaterScopeVillain: Article 13. [[spoiler:It could be argued that the Microsoft corporation also counts as one, because of their waning Internet Explorer out of use.]]

Opera [[spoiler: pretends to team up with Internet Explorer but backstabs her solely so she could keep on living off Google's Chromium OS.]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: When alone, Google Chrome curses at how Internet Explorer is just like the company that created her, Microsoft, a power-hungry, merciless rival-destroying entity and has many times being marked as 'evil'. Those description actually fit Google Chrome more; although [[VillainHasAPoint she did have a point that Microsoft the company tend to do questionable acts]] (but then again so do Google the company).
