Netscape was the original browser success
- Mozilla is currently carrying the old Netscape banner
- Microsoft gets a lot of bad press about security problems, but Mozilla is not immune either
Microsoft took over with Internet Explorer about 1996
But it is beginning to lose its dominance
Firefox was the next big thing
- lots of people love it
- but it, too, has vulnerabilities
- and there are some display issues as well
But Google is getting into the act now
- some love it: Serious Potential in Google’s Browser
- but others suggest caution: Google's Chrome: 7 Reasons for It and 7 Reasons Against It
Other browsers
- Wikipedia has a listing of different browsers, categorized by their layout engine and compares them by a series of different measures
Bottom line - use the one that fits your needs
