Browser Creator Cost (USD) Open source Software license Current layout engine Latest release version
  1. ^ Only Chromium, on which Google Chrome is based, is open source; the features Google adds to Chrome, such as H.264 and ACC decoding, the built-in PDF viewer, an auto-updater system among other things are closed-source.
  2. ^ a b c d 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.

Operating system support

Browsers are compiled to run on certain operating systems, without emulation. For a given browser/OS combination, browser support status can be one of six possibilities:

  • No means that it does not exist or was never released.
  • Partial means that the browser works, but lacks important functionality or is very unstable compared to versions for other OSs, that is to say it has roughly alpha or pre-alpha quality, and it is still being developed.
  • Beta means that a version of the browser is fully functional and has been released, but is still in development, e.g., for stability.
  • Yes means that the browser has been officially released in a fully functional, stable version.
  • Dropped means 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 means that the browser comes pre-packaged as part of or has been integrated into the operating system.

This 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 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 with Internet Explorer 8.

  1. ^ a b In many integrated password saving tools there are often leaks that make them unsafe.[6]
  2. ^ Spell checking can be added by installing an add-on like ieSpell.
  3. ^ a b 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.
  4. ^ Starting with version 4, Google Chrome can disable Cookies, Images, JavaScript, Plugins, Popups, and Geolocation individually.
  5. ^ Internet Explorer 8 supports InPrivate Browsing.
  6. ^ There is no online update facility built into IE, but it gets updated by Windows Update when enabled. As of Version 10 Consumer Preview (Beta) automatic silent update is the default setting in Internet Explorer.
  7. ^ For the download manager kdenetwork needs to be installed.
  8. ^ Konqueror can handle per-site settings for cookies, pop-ups, JavaScript, Java and NPAPI modules (eg. Flash).
  9. ^ Updates happen with the rest of KDE. This happens through the system package manager if used by the system. On Windows, this happens through KDE's updater.
  10. ^ Lynx is able to edit text with an external editor, which can provide spell checking.
  11. ^ Firefox 3.5 adds the Privacy mode. Older versions of Firefox can use the Stealther extension.
  12. ^ 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.[5]
  13. ^ Opera can auto-complete forms with your personal information and website usernames. Also there is extension AutoComplete which can complete forms with form history.

  1. ^ a b c On Mac systems, gestures are available systemwide via multitouch sensing on trackpads and mice.
  2. ^ a b c d On Mac OS X, text-to speech and speech recognition are available systemwide and is available from menu in native Cocoa browsers.
  3. ^ a b c d e f Google Chrome can be given these features using extensions like smooth gestures, speechify and voice control for google chrome.
  4. ^ ELinks 0.12 supports spatial navigation.
  5. ^ a b Mouse gesture support can be added by installing extensions like All-in-One Gestures (Firefox-only) [9] and Mouse Gestures [10].
  6. ^ Internet Explorer 8 supports caret browsing.
  7. ^ Mouse gesture support is available via plug-ins, i.e. Mouse Gestures for Internet Explorer or Easy Go Back.
  8. ^ TTS in Internet Explorer is available through the operating system Speech API. For TTS, SAPI takes text as input and uses the TTS engine to output that text as spoken audio. This is the same technology used by the Windows accessibility tool, Narrator. SAPI and an English TTS engine have been embedded in all Windows operating systems since the release of Windows XP.
  9. ^ Internet Explorer can be controlled by applications which use the operating system Speech API. A built-in application called Windows Speech Recognition ships with Windows Vista and later client versions.
  10. ^ Mouse gesture support is available system-wide in KDE
  11. ^ Text-to speech support depends on the kttsd application in the kdeaccessibility package
  12. ^ Doug Turner, the Minimo lead developer, has introduced spatial navigation to some special Firefox builds [11]. It may build as a default part of Firefox [12].
  13. ^ Firefox works with a number of screen readers such as JAWS (screen reader) and Microsoft Speech API through extensions.[which?]
  14. ^ opera : a sort of caret navigation can be enabled by a button or a shortcut [13]
  15. ^ On Mac OS X systems, caret navigation (called "Full Keyboard Access") can be enabled systemwide.
  16. ^ Web supports mouse gestures as an extension from the official extensions package.

Acid Scores

The Acid tests are online test suites to determine aspects of standards compliance, to expose web page rendering flaws, and to rate the performance of browsers. 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.

HTML5 support

The specifications for HTML5 are still under development, but many current browsers already support many of the new features in the draft specifications. An HTML5 test suite is also under development that, while it does not test all of the new features nor the functionality of those it does detect, rates browsers' support. New tests are expected to be added to the suite as time goes by.[13] (See this article also).

  1. ^ a b 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 the W3C website. (CSS 3 is only in draft status at present.) For more detailed information please see comparison of layout engines (CSS).
  2. ^ a b c d 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).
  3. ^ a b Presentation mode is the ability to read styles targeted to the CSS projection media type.

  11. ^ XHTML1.1 includes Ruby markup (see [16]) which is not supported. There exists add-on for adding RUBY support. [17]
  12. ^ XForms is supported experimentally in nightly builds dated after 28 January 2005 [18]. Requires installation of an extension.
  13. ^ Opera switches to presentation mode on full screen. [19]

Browser ActiveX [note 1] NPAPI [note 1] Java Gears RSS Atom other web feed
  1. ^ a b c d 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.
  2. ^ a b c d e f g h Internet Explorer 7 and later
  3. ^ a b RSS and ATOM feed autodetection in Epiphany depends on the Newsfeed extension which is included with Epiphany-extensions.
  4. ^ Except on linux
  5. ^ 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.[21][22][23]
  6. ^ Internet Explorer 8 supports syndicated content in hAtom / hSlice microformat by the name of a feature known as Web Slices.
  7. ^ a b RSS and ATOM feed autodetection in Konqueror depends on the aKregator package which is installed with kdepim.
  8. ^ Safari has Java only on Mac OS X. Safari for Windows needs a plugin.
  9. ^ Safari has Gears only on Mac OS X 10.4+. Windows is not supported

  1. ^ a b Most browsers support TIFF by using a plugin installed by the user.
  2. ^ a b 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.
  3. ^ a b 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.
  4. ^ a b c d Internet Explorer does not support progressive display of progressive JPEG[citation needed].
  5. ^ a b c d Internet Explorer supports PNG images but is unable to correctly display images with gamma correction or color correction[citation needed]. Versions of Internet Explorer prior to version 7 are unable to correctly display images with alpha channel (for transparency) without additional coding [26].
  6. ^ a b c d e Support for the canvas element was added to Internet Explorer 9. Earlier versions of Internet Explorer can be made to emulate canvas using the excanvas script.
  7. ^ a b c d e Internet Explorer support for XBM files was removed in Version 6.
  8. ^ a b c d Firefox and SeaMonkey partially support SVG 1.1 Full. Modules that are implemented or not implemented and details of their implementation: [27].
  9. ^ Chromium does not support APNG. A bug report is available [28]. There is also a plugin Animated Portable Network Graphics#Application supportavailable.
  10. ^ a b c 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.
  11. ^ Support for these features depends on the version of the Gecko rendering engine that Epiphany was built with.
  12. ^ Konqueror supports JPEG2000 if KDE's viewer is compiled with Jasper library.
  13. ^ KDE has developed its own SVG plugin for Konqueror, known as KSVG [29]. KSVG1 development has ended, but work on the next-generation KDOM-based KSVG2 has been very active [30]. KSVG2 is slated to be moved into the core KDE [31] meaning at some point KSVG2 should become part of Konqueror.
  14. ^ Inline PDF viewing in Konqueror requires KPDF which is included in kdegraphics.
  15. ^ a b Safari supports JPEG2000 through QuickTime plugin, which is an optional software bundle for Safari installation on Windows, and an integrated component in Mac OS.
  16. ^ a b Safari 3 is able to render SVG documents, but not fully [32].
  17. ^ Support of MNG/JNG was dropped since 6 June 2003 [33] [34]. There are unofficial obsolete builds with MNG/JNG called Mngzilla [35].
  18. ^ a b Mozilla applications rebranded by the Debian project, such as GNU IceCat or Iceape do not support APNG.
  19. ^ In Gecko 1.9.2 (Firefox 3.6) XBM support was dropped.
  20. ^ Netscape 6.0, 6.01 and 7.0 included native support for MNG until the code was removed in 2003 due to code size and little actual usage.
  21. ^ Opera supports SVG 1.1 Basic.[36]
