Safari is a web browser developed by Apple.

First released as a public beta on January 7,


2003[1] on the company's Mac OS X operating system, it became Apple's default browser
beginning with Mac OS X v10.3 "Panther." Safari is also the native browser for the
iPhone OS. A version of Safari for the Microsoft Windows operating system, first
released on June 11, 2007, supports Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.[2]
The current stable release of the browser is 4.0.4 for both Mac OS X and Windows.

In December 2009, Safari had a 4.46% market share according to Net Applications.[3]

Flock is a web browser built on Mozilla’s Firefox codebase that specializes in providing
social networking and Web 2.0 facilities built into its user interface. [1] Flock v2.5 was
officially released on May 19, 2009.[2]

The Flock browser is available as a free download, and supports Microsoft Windows,
Mac OS X, and Linux platforms.

Avant Browser is a freeware web browser from a Chinese programmer named Anderson
Che, which unites the Trident layout engine built into Windows (see Internet Explorer
shell) with an interface intended to be more feature-rich, flexible and ergonomic than
Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE). It runs on Windows 98 and above, including Windows
Vista. Internet Explorer version 6, 7 or 8 must be installed. As of November 2008, total
downloads surpassed 22.5 million.
Opera Mini berasal dari penjelajah web Opera untuk komputer pribadi, yang telah
tersedia untuk umum sejak 1996. Opera Mini pada awalnya dirancang untuk ponsel yang
telah mampu terkoneksi atau tersambung ke jaringan internet. Opera Mini pertama kali
diperkenalkan pada tanggal 10 Agustus 2005 sebagai pilot project dalam kerjasama
dengan stasiun televisi Norwegia, TV 2. Sehingga pada saat itu, Opera Mini hanya
tersedia untuk pelanggan TV 2.

iCab's original rendering engine was often criticized for not supporting CSS and DOM.
iCab 3 introduced improved rendering capabilities, including support for CSS2 and
Unicode (via the ATSUI toolkit). iCab 4 switched to WebKit for its rendering engine,
giving it the same rendering abilities as Apple's Safari browser.

On 7 June 2009, iCab 4.6 became the first desktop browser released to display a score of
100/100 and pass the Acid3 test.[citation needed] This claim however is currently deemed as
unofficial and Apple's Safari 4 browser (released one day later 8 June 2009) has been
officially credited as being the first official release browser to pass the Acid3 test with a
score of 100/100.

The Internet Explorer project was started in the summer of 1994[citation needed] by Thomas
Reardon,[7] and subsequently led by Benjamin Slivka,[8][dubious – discuss] leveraging source
code from Spyglass, Inc. Mosaic, an early commercial web browser with formal ties to
the pioneering NCSA Mosaic browser. In late 1994, Microsoft licensed Spyglass Mosaic
for a quarterly fee plus a percentage of Microsoft's non-Windows revenues for the
software. Although bearing a name similar to NCSA Mosaic, Spyglass Mosaic had used
the NCSA Mosaic source code sparingly.[9]
Netscape was the second company to attempt to capitalize on the (then) nascent World
Wide Web. It was originally founded under the name, Mosaic Communications
Corporation, on April 4, 1994, the brainchild of Jim Clark who had recruited Marc
Andreessen as co-founder and Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers as investors. Clark
recruited other early Netscape team members from SGI and NCSA Mosaic, including
Rosanne Siino who became Vice President of Communications. The company's first
product was the web browser, called Mosaic Netscape 0.9, released on October 13, 1994.
This browser was subsequently renamed Netscape Navigator, and the company took the
'Netscape' name on November 14, 1994[9] to avoid trademark ownership problems with
NCSA, where the initial Netscape employees had previously created the NCSA Mosaic
web browser. The Mosaic Netscape web browser used some NCSA Mosaic code with
NCSA's permission, as noted in the application's "About" dialog box. Netscape made a
very successful IPO on August 9, 1995. The stock was set to be offered at $14 per share.
But, a last-minute decision doubled the initial offering to $28 per share. The stock's value
soared to $75 on the first day of trading, nearly a record for first-day gain. The company's
revenues doubled every quarter in 1995.[10] Netscape's success landed Andreessen,
barefoot, on the cover of Time Magazine[11].

The Firefox project has undergone several name changes. Originally titled Phoenix, it
was renamed because of trademark issues with Phoenix Technologies. The replacement
name, Firebird, provoked an intense response from the Firebird free database software
project.[14][15][16] In response, the Mozilla Foundation stated that the browser should always
bear the name Mozilla Firebird to avoid confusion with the database software.
Continuing pressure from the database server's development community forced another
change; on February 9, 2004, Mozilla Firebird became Mozilla Firefox,[17] often referred
to as simply Firefox. Mozilla prefers that Firefox be abbreviated as Fx or fx, though it is
often abbreviated as FF.[18] The Firefox project went through many versions before 1.0
was released on November 9, 2004. After a series of stability and security fixes, the
Mozilla Foundation released its first major update, Firefox version 1.5, on November 29,
2005.
The release announcement was originally scheduled for 3 September 2008, and a comic
by Scott McCloud was to be sent to journalists and bloggers explaining the features of
and motivations for the new browser.[9] Copies intended for Europe were shipped early
and German blogger Philipp Lenssen of Google Blogoscoped[10] made a scanned copy of
the 38-page comic available on his website after receiving it on 1 September 2008.[11]
Google subsequently made the comic available on Google Books[12] and mentioned it on
their official blog along with an explanation for the early release.[13]
