Comparison of web browsers

The following tables compare general and technical information for a number of web browsers. Please see the individual products' articles for further information.

Web browser history

Web browsers by year

Usage share of web browsers according to StatCounter till 2019-05. See HTML5 beginnings, Presto rendering engine deprecation and Chrome's dominance.

This is a table of personal computer web browsers by year of release of major version. The increased growth of the Internet in the 1990s and 2000s means that current browsers with small market shares have more total users than the entire market early on. For example, 90% market share in 1997 would be roughly 60 million users, but by the start of 2007 9% market share would equate to over 90 million users.^[1]

Historical web browsers

This table focuses on OS and browsers of the 1990s and turn of the century. The year listed for a version is usually the year of the first official release, with an end year being end of development, project change, or relevant termination. Releases of OS and browser from the early 1990s to before 2001-2002 time frame are the current focus.

Many early browsers can be made to run on later OS (and later browsers on early OS in some cases); however, most of these situations are avoided in the table. Terms are defined below.

^ There are five different products which all carry the name Netscape: Netscape versions 1 to 4, properly called Netscape Navigator, was a browser based on the original Netscape engine. Netscape 4 also was available as an Internet suite, properly called Netscape Communicator. Netscape 6 and 7 was a new Internet suite based on the Gecko engine and the Mozilla Application Suite user interface. Netscape 8, properly called Netscape Browser, was a distinct browser based on Firefox that could use either the Gecko (Firefox) or Trident (Internet Explorer) engine. Netscape resumed use of the Navigator name from Netscape Navigator 9.0 beta 1. See Netscape for more info.

^ According to the Google-published comic^[21] and other sources^[22], Google Chrome is fully open source. However, there are parts of the program that have no source code available, including RLZ.dll^[23]. However, Chromium, the development project behind Chrome, can be compiled and used as-is without non-free components ^[24] (also see SRWare Iron).

First stable release

^ As of February 2007, at least Windows XP SP2 or Windows Server 2003 SP2 is required to install the latest version (8.0) of Internet Explorer for Windows. Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 is the last version that supports Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0 SP6a, and Windows 2000. Internet Explorer 7 is bundled with Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, Internet Explorer 8 is part of Windows 7.
^ Safari is included with Mac OS X and the latest version is always available only from the OS install or OS updates.

Operating system support

The operating systems the browsers have been compiled to run on without emulation; for the given browser/OS combination, there are seven possibilities:

No indicates that it does not exist or was never released.
Partial indicates that while the browser works, it lacks important functionality or is extremely unstable compared to versions for other OSs (that is to say it has roughly alpha or pre-alpha quality). It is still being developed however.
Beta indicates that while a version of the browser is fully functional and has been released, it is still in development (e.g. for stability).
Yes indicates that the browser has been officially released in a fully functional, stable version.
Dropped indicates that the latest stable version of the browser does not work on the operating system, although an older version is available that does. The number in parentheses is the last known stable version which was officially released for that OS.
Included indicates that the browser comes pre-packaged as part of or has been integrated into the operating system.

Please note that the list is not exhaustive, but rather reflects the most common OSs today (e.g. Netscape Navigator was also developed for OS/2 at a time when Mac OS X did not yet exist) but does not include the growing appliance segment (for example, the Opera web browser has gained a leading role for use in mobile phones, smartphones, the Nintendo DS and Wii, and Personal Digital Assistants, and is also used in Interactive televisions). Both the web browser and OS means most recent version, example: Windows 7 w/ Internet Explorer 8.

^ Mozilla based browsers like Firefox, SeaMonkey and Flock can handle per-site settings for cookies, pop-ups, add-on installs and images. For more settings, an add-on is needed — for example, NoScript.
^ OmniWeb supports per-domain settings of options including support for disabling scripting, ad-blocking, java and cookies. These settings only work on top level domains.^[60]
^ For the download manager kdenetwork needs to be installed.
^ Updates happen with the rest of KDE. On Linux, BSD, etc. this happens through the system package manager. On Windows, this happens through KDE's updater.

Acid Scores

The Acid tests are standard tests to rate the performance of a browser. Upon each test's release, they are designed so that no existing browser can pass without further development. In order for a browser to pass any Acid test, the latest public release of the browser (not an alpha, beta, release candidate, or other version under development or testing procedures) must meet the requirements shown below. In addition, the browser should be tested upon completion of installation, with no add-ons installed (some browsers make this easy by providing a "safe mode" option) and all the factory settings (no options have been changed from their defaults).

Acid1:

Final rendering looks exactly like the rendering provided by the Acid tests website.
Text can be highlighted and radio buttons can be selected.

Acid2:

Final rendering looks exactly like the rendering provided by the Acid tests website.
Smiley's nose turns blue when hovered over.

Acid3:

Final score of 100/100.
No error messages on final rendering.
Render-in-progress loads smoothly (no pausing).
Final rendering looks exactly like the rendering provided by the Acid tests website.

^ CSS 2, a W3C recommendation since 1998, is the current stable version of CSS, nevertheless, CSS 2.1 corrects a few errors in CSS2 (the most important being a new definition of the height/width of absolutely positioned elements, more influence for HTML's "style" attribute and a new calculation of the 'clip' property), and adds a few highly requested features which have already been widely implemented. CSS 2.1 is derived from and is intended to replace CSS 2. Conformance criteria are detailed at at the W3C website. (CSS 3 is only in draft status at present.) For more detailed information please see comparison of layout engines (CSS).
^ LINK as a navigational aid, as distinct from non-navigational uses of LINK.
^ Not in standard install, but provided by extension.[17][18]
^ XHTML is based on HTML but is an application of XML, which means that XHTML must be stricter than equivalent HTML code. XHTML is meant to be read by an XML parser but for backward compatibility reasons can also be parsed as HTML; this table only notes the browsers that are able to parse XHTML as XML. For more detailed information please see comparison of layout engines (XHTML).
^ Dillo displays frames as links that the user can click on.
^ Available with the MathPlayer plugin.
^ Available with the FormsPlayer plugin and several other plugins.
^ XForms is supported experimentally in nightly builds dated after January 28, 2005 [19]. Requires installation of an extension.
^ Web Forms 2.0 can be emulated in IE using DHTML behaviours, available from SourceForge.
^ Web Forms 2.0 functionality is currently being added to Gecko, there should be at least partial support for Gecko 1.9 (Firefox 3.0). See bug #344614.
^ XHTML1.1 includes Ruby markup (see [20]) which is not supported. There exists add-on for adding RUBY support. [21]
^ Presentation mode is the ability to read styles targeted to the CSS projection media type.
^ S5 is a CSS/Javascript alternative for browsers that don't support a presentation mode.
^ Opera switches to presentation mode on full screen. [22]
^ Microsoft claims Internet Explorer 8 has full CSS2.1 support^[66], however independent testing revealed several bugs^[67].
^ Firefox 3 does not support valid XHTML 1.1 use of the "usemap" attribute on images. See bug #290422 which removed support based on comments from WHATWG member Ian Hickson indicating this behavior was an error in the standard.

^ Gecko-based browsers render C-HTML and XHTML Mobile Profile as an ordinary XHTML. In most cases this is quite enough to browse mobile Web.
^ Gecko-based browsers don't support WML natively, this issue is being discussed at bug 35995. There is an extension called wmlbrowser [23], [24] which adds a partial WML support to Firefox, SeaMonkey, Mozilla Suite and Flock (without card navigation and WMLScript). In most cases this is quite enough to browse mobile Web.
^ Internet Explorer Mobile 6 supports XHTML Mobile Profile.
^ Microsoft Mobile Explorer was discontinued in 2002.^[68]

Browser	ActiveX Template:Refun	NPAPI Template:Refun	Java	Gears	RSS	Atom	other web feed

^ Internet Explorer (and Shells) is the only browser to natively support the Component Object Model (popularly known as ActiveX). Most other browsers use the NPAPI plugin architecture. ActiveX is more powerful than NPAPI in terms of the control it affords over the browser, but it is specific to Windows whereas NPAPI is cross-platform. There is a third-party plugin that adds partial ActiveX support, that is available for certain older versions of Mozilla Suite, Mozilla Firefox and Netscape Navigator. The default settings in earlier versions of Internet Explorer allowed the automatic download, installation, and running of new ActiveX controls with minimal user intervention — this made it possible to use ActiveX on web pages to install viruses, spyware, etc. onto a user's computer.
^ Internet Explorer 7 and later
^ Konqueror needs an external Java interpreter (usually the 'java' executable of a JRE/JDK).
^ RSS and ATOM feed autodetection in Konqueror depends on the aKregator package which is installed with kdepim.
^ RSS and ATOM feed autodetection in Epiphany depends on the Newsfeed extension which is included with Epiphany-extensions.
^ Safari has only on Mac OS X 10.4+ Gears support. At the moment Windows isn't supported
^ Safari has only on Mac OS X Java support. At the moment Windows need a plugin.
^ Internet Explorer did for a time support NPAPI plugins. Plugins that functioned in the Netscape browser also functioned in Internet Explorer. This was due to a small ActiveX control implemented within a "plugin.ocx" file that acted as a shim between the ActiveX based browser and the NPAPI plugin. The IE browser would load the control and use it to host plugins specified within the page. However, Microsoft made the claim that the NPAPI plugins (or the IE implementation of the API) were a security issue and dropped support for them in version 5.5 SP2.^[69]^[70]^[71]
^ Internet Explorer 8 supports syndicated content in hAtom / hSlice microformat by the name of a feature known as Web Slices.

^ Konqueror supports JPEG2000 if KDE's viewer is compiled with Jasper library.
^ Internet Explorer does not support progressive display of progressive JPEG.
^ Internet Explorer support for XBM files was removed in Version 6.
^ Internet Explorer supports PNG images but is unable to correctly display images with gamma correction or color correction. Versions of Internet Explorer prior to version 7 are unable to correctly display images with alpha channel (for transparency) without additional coding [31].
^ Support of MNG/JNG was dropped since June 6, 2003 [32] [33]. There are unofficial builds with MNG/JNG called Mngzilla [34].
^ Most browsers support TIFF by using a plugin installed by the user.
^ SVG here refers to SVG 1.1 Full. There are also two simplified profiles known as SVG 1.1 Tiny and SVG 1.1 Basic, which are intended for user agents with limited capabilities.
^ KDE has developed its own SVG plugin for Konqueror, known as KSVG [35]. KSVG1 development has ended, but work on the next-generation KDOM-based KSVG2 has been very active [36]. KSVG2 is slated to be moved into the core KDE [37] meaning at some point KSVG2 should become part of Konqueror.
^ Firefox and SeaMonkey partially support SVG 1.1 Full. Modules that are implemented or not implemented and details of their implementation: [38].
^ Opera supports SVG 1.1 Basic. [39]
^ Safari supports JPEG2000 through QuickTime plugin, which is an optional software bundle for Safari installation on Windows, and an integrated component in Mac OS.
^ Safari 3 is able to render SVG documents, but not fully [40].
^ Most browsers support PDF by installing an Adobe plugin which takes over the browser window. Listed here are browsers which also support inline PDFs within other hypertext documents (such as within HTML's <img/> tag). Note that PDF (in strictly speaking) is not an image format, but a scriptable rich text document format that can contain different types of multimedia content, including vector and bitmap graphics, audio, video, forms, intra- and inter-document hypertext links and a hierarchical contents listing. The format is also the native display format under Mac OS X.
^ Inline PDF viewing in Konqueror requires KPDF which is included in kdegraphics.
^ Internet Explorer can be made to emulate canvas using the script provided by Google.
^ Support for these features depends on the version of the Gecko rendering engine that Epiphany was built with.
^ With the addition of the new Cairo version in Gecko 1.9 it will be natively possible to save pages to PDFs but not read them. This feature is not included in Firefox 3.5, however it is possible with the new Cairo backend.
