Web Browsers

Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator are the basis for all other

web browsers. All browsers, AFAIK, are variations of one or the other.

IE2, now known as Maxthon, is a recommended IE ripoff.

Mozilla is what the Netscape Navigator was based on.

So, you have Netscape, and the current builds of Mozilla,

and variations: Opera is a complicated Mozilla build.

Mozilla minus the Opera frills was Phoenix, which became

Firebird, which became Firefox.

That's what I know offhand.

The practical differences, as I see it, between

IE builds and Mozilla builds:

A) Mozilla builds tend to have fewer security exploits

which are patched faster.

B) Mozilla builds tend to be based on better code.

C) Some websites are standards-compliant,

but those that aren't are all built to work with IE.

(That means IE works with just about everything.)
