Safari

Safari is a graphical web browser made by Apple Inc. based on the Webkit engine which was originally intended specifically for the Mac OS operating system. Safari was first released on the desktop in 2003 with Mac OS X Panther installed and is the default web browser on the operating system since Mac OS X v10.3. The mobile version has been bundled with iOS devices since the iPhone was introduced in 2007. Safari is a browser default on Apple devices. Previously from 1997 to 2003, Mac OS X used Internet Explorer for Mac as the default web browser. From June 11, 2007, to 2012, preview versions of Windows suitable for Windows XP and Windows Vista from Safari were introduced at Apple's World Developer Conference in San Francisco.

Until 1997, Apple Macintosh computers had shipped only with Netscape Navigator and Cyberdog. Internet Explorer for Mac and Mac OS 8.1 has only recently been used as the default web for Mac OS 8.1 as part of a five-year agreement between Apple and Microsoft. However, Netscape Navigator continues to be included. During that time, Microsoft released three major versions of Internet Explorer for Mac along with Mac OS 8 and Mac OS 9, although Apple continued to include Netscape Navigator as an alternative. After that, Microsoft released Mac OS X edition of Internet Explorer 5, which was included as the default web browser on all Mac OS X released from Mac OS X DP4 to Mac OS X v10.2.

On January 7, 2003, Steve Jobs announced that Apple had developed its own web browser based on the KHTML browser engine called Safari. They released the first beta version that day and several other beta versions followed up to version 1.0 which was released on June 23, 2003. Initially available as an application that was downloaded separately and then combined with Mac OS X v10.3 when released on October 24, 2003, as default web and Internet Explorer for Mac are only included as alternatives. Since the release of Mac OS X v10.4 on April 29, 2005, Safari has been the only web browser included in the operating system.

Opera

Opera is a web browser and inter-platform software package for Microsoft Windows, Android, iOS, macOS, and Linux operating systems, developed by Opera Software. Opera consists of a collection of software for the Internet such as web browsers, as well as software for reading and buying electronic mail.

Opera is a Chromium-based browser using the Blink layout engine. This distinguishes itself because of the different user interfaces and other features. Opera is known for having many features which were later adopted by other web browsers. Although it has many advantages, Opera only gets a small portion of the personal computer browser market worldwide. However, Opera has a larger market on mobile devices such as cellphones, smartphones, and personal digital assistants. Various editions of Opera can be used for devices using Maemo, BlackBerry, Symbian, Windows Mobile, Android, and iPhone operating systems, as well as Java ME. Around 120 million cellphones have been marketed with the Opera browser they have.

Opera is the only commercial web browser available for Nintendo DS and Wii. Some televisions have Opera browsers in set-top boxes or boxes that fulfill them. Adobe Systems has licensed Opera technology for use in Adobe Creative Suite. There are also three cellular versions called Opera Mobile, Opera Touch, and Opera Mini.

Google Chrome

Google Chrome (commonly known as Chrome) is a cross-platform web browser developed by Google using the WebKit rendering engine. It was first released in 2008 for Microsoft Windows and then transported to Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android. The browser is also a major component of Chrome OS, where it serves as a platform for web applications.

Most of Chrome's source code comes from Google's open-source Chromium project, but Chrome is licensed as an exclusive freeware. WebKit is an original rendering engine, but Google finally cut it to make Blink machines, all Chrome variants except iOS now use Blink.

As of February 2019, StatCounter estimates that Chrome has a 62% browser market share worldwide on all platforms. Because of this success, Google has expanded the brand name "Chrome" to other products: Chrome OS, Chromecast, Chromebook, Chromebit, Chromebox, and Chromebase. The beta version for Microsoft Windows was launched on September 2, 2008, in 43 languages. Mac OS X and Linux versions have been released.

Internet Explorer

Windows Internet Explorer (formerly Microsoft Internet Explorer, commonly abbreviated IE or MSIE) is a series of graphical web browsers developed by Microsoft and included as part of the Microsoft Windows line of operating systems, starting in 1995. It was first released as part of the add-on package Plus! for Windows 95 that year. Later versions were available as free downloads, or in service packs, and included in the OEM service releases of Windows 95 and later versions of Windows.

Internet Explorer is the second most widely used web browser, behind Google Chrome, which surpassed it in May 2012, attaining a peak of about 95% usage share during 2002 and 2003 with Internet Explorer 5 and Internet Explorer 6. Since its peak of popularity, its usage share has been declining in the face of renewed competition from other web browsers, and is 34.27% as of January 2012. It had been slightly higher, 43.55% as of February 2011, just prior to the release of the current version. Microsoft spent over US$100 million per year on Internet Explorer in the late 1990s, with over 1000 people working on it by 1999. 

Since its first release, Microsoft has added features and technologies such as basic table display (in version 1.5); XMLHttpRequest (in version 5), which aids creation of dynamic web pages; and Internationalized Domain Names (in version 7), which allow Web sites to have native-language addresses with non-Latin characters. The browser has also received scrutiny throughout its development for use of third-party technology (such as the source code of Spyglass Mosaic, used without royalty in early versions) and security and privacy vulnerabilities, and both the United States and the European Union have alleged that integration of Internet Explorer with Windows has been to the detriment of other browsers.

Mozilla Firefox

Mozilla Firefox is a free and open source web browser developed for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux coordinated by Mozilla Corporation and Mozilla Foundation. As of May 2012, Firefox has approximately 25% of worldwide usage share of web browsers, making it the third most widely used web browser. The browser has had particular success in Indonesia, Germany and Poland, where it is the most popular browser with 67%, 50% and 44% of the market share respectively. Firefox uses the Gecko layout engine to render web pages, which implements current and anticipated web standards.

History is Firefox project began as an experimental branch of the Mozilla project by Dave Hyatt, Joe Hewitt and Blake Ross. They believed the commercial requirements of Netscape's sponsorship and developer-driven feature creep compromised the utility of the Mozilla browser. To combat what they saw as the Mozilla Suite's software bloat, they created a stand-alone browser, with which they intended to replace the Mozilla Suite. On April 3, 2003, the Mozilla Organization announced that they planned to change their focus from the Mozilla Suite to Firefox and Thunderbird.

Features is include tabbed browsing, spell checking, incremental find, live bookmarking, smart bookmarks, a download manager, private browsing, location-aware browsing (also known as "geolocation") based on a Google service and an integrated search system that uses Google by default in most localizations. Functions can be added through extensions, created by third-party developers, of which there is a wide selection, a feature that has attracted many of Firefox's users. Additionally, Firefox provides an environment for web developers in which they can use built-in tools, such as the Error Console or the DOM Inspector, or extensions, such as Firebug.

A variety of features in web browsers include additional components to support e- mail. Usenet news and Internet Relay Chat (IRC), sometimes referred to as the “internet suite” rather than simply “web browser”.

Most web browsers allow users to open multiple information sources at the same time, both in a different browser window or in a different tab from same window. Web browser includes a pop-up blocker to prevent the window that appears, but without user consent.

Web Browser Function

The purpose of the web browser is to bring the internet to source information from the user. This process begin when a user enter a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), into the browser. Web browser sends a request to a web server and delivered to computer users. HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) is sent to the layout engine browser to be transformed into an interactive document. In addition to HTML, web browsers generally can display various types of content. Most web browsers can display images, audio, video, and XML files, and more and also most often have a web browser plug-ins to support Flash applications and Java applets. After seeing the files of the type that is not supported or file that is set to be downloaded rather than displayed, the web browser usually ask users to save files to a disk.

Web Browser History

Web browser-based text first, because it is a system with a graphical interface is not commonly used at that time. After the graphics-based systems started being used, a student named Marc Andresen of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, United States, create a first graphical web browser running on Windows and UNIX operating system (Motif based). Web browser named Mosaic.

Marc Andresen approves the bid to create a company with the name Mosaic Communications, which later became Netscape Communications. Marc Andresen makes a first popular web browser used by the public, who called the name of Netscape Navigator. Netscape Navigator is a commercial web browser, but eventually became Netscape Navigator can be obtained free of charge. Meanwhile, the Mosaic is free no longer transmitted development, and submitted to the NCSA (National Computing for Supercomputer Applications). Because NCSA does not have permission to commercialize product Mosaic, NCSA Mosaic was eventually sold to Spyglass, which ultimately makes Mosaic a commercial web browser.

Web Browsers

Web browser is a software application that serves traverse, retrieve, and display information resources on the World Wide Web. Although the main purpose web browsers used to access the World Wide Web, they can also be used to access information provided by the web server on the private network, or file in a file system.
