liciWhat is Google Chrome?
Chrome
When Google decided to make a browser, they wanted to completely rethink the browser, as browsing now is very different from browsing the early simple text web pages, now we email, shop, pay bills, and run other large application in our browsers.
Download Google Chrome.
What is different from other browsers?
Google Chrome is running each tab isolated from another, which prevents one tab to crash another, and is also more secure, and better for the memory; when a tab is closed it's memory use is eliminated.
Google added a more powerful JavaScript engine, V8, which will make large applications perform better.
The start page offers new functionality, a bit like Opera, with your nine most visited web pages, a list of recently visited pages, your favorite search engines and more.
Because it is an open source project, new features will be added, and other browser developers can adopt what they find useful, in their browser.
Google has made a comic book presenting Google Chrome:
http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/
What is new since the first Beta?
It took Google 100 days from the release of the Beta version to the full version. In these 100 days Google improved the browser, listening to requests from the users.
Video is more stable. Users had some problems rendering videos in earlier versions of Chrome.
Improved bookmarks managing. It is now easier to switch between Chrome and other browsers with new import and export features.
Even faster JavaScript. The V8 JavaScript engine is up to 50% faster than earlier versions.

Mozilla Firefox BrowserFirefox is a free, open-source web browser developed by Mozilla. Firefox Version StatisticsThe following table is a breakdown of the Firefox (and Mozilla) numbers from our Browsers Statistics:
These statistics are based on W3Schools users. What is Firefox?
Firefox is based on the Mozilla code, and is one of the most standards-compliant browsers available. Firefox is available for Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Mac OS X, and Linux. Firefox 3Firefox 3 was released on June 17th 2008. One feature that was important for Mozilla, was Improved Performance. Firefox 3 lets you view web pages faster, using less of your computer's memory. New features in Firefox 3:
What is Mozilla?Mozilla is an open-source web development project. The Mozilla Application Suite (also known as SeaMonkey) is a complete set of web applications; a browser, a mail client, a news client, a chat client and more. Firefox is Mozilla's standalone browser.

You can read about Mozilla in the previous chapter.What is Mozilla?
 | Mozilla is not a web browser. Mozilla is a framework for building web applications using web standards like CSS, XML, RDF. |
Mozilla code is used in Netscape 6 and 7, and in other web browsers such as Firefox and Camino.
Mozilla is an open-source web development project developing the program code used in the Mozilla Application Suite (also known as SeaMonkey).
The Mozilla Application Suite is a complete set of web applications (browser, email client, news client, chat client and more).
Browsers based on Mozilla code (Mozilla, Firefox, & Camino) are the second largest browser family on the Internet today. Mozilla browsers are known to have very good web standards support.
The Mozilla Project
The Mozilla Project was created to continue developing Netscape as an open source project.
In November 1998 AOL (America Online) purchased Netscape.
The development of the core engine for Netscape was moved to an open source project called "The Mozilla Project".
The project was renamed to "SeaMonkey" in April 2006, with the Mozilla Foundations main intention of phasing out the Mozilla suite and shifting it's main focus to the Firefox/Thunderbird/SeaMonkey projects.
The Mozilla Foundation
The Mozilla Foundation was created in July 2003, when AOL laid off the employees involved in the Mozilla open-source browser team.
Mozilla Foundation's Roadmap
The Mozilla project decided to make a new roadmap for the development. Some of the points in the roadmap are listed below:
- Focus on standalone applications (like the Firefox browser and Thunderbird mail/news application)
- Make Firefox and Thunderbird the premier products of Mozilla
- Maintain the SeaMonkey application suite for enterprises and organizations with large Mozilla deployments
- Maintain the Mozilla 1.4 branch as the "distributor/vendor" branch used by organizations with year-long lead times
- Fix crucial Gecko layout architecture bugs. All Mozilla applications benefit from such Gecko improvements
- Prefer quality over quantity
Products of Mozilla
- Mozilla - the application suite
- Firefox - a standalone browser
- Thunderbird - an email and newsgroup client
- Camino - a web browser for Mac
- Composer - a web page editor

Confusing Mozilla Names
The very first Netscape browser had a code engine called Mozilla. Netscape 1.0 was powered with a code engine called Mozilla 1.0. Netscape 2.0 used Mozilla 2.0, Netscape 3.0 used Mozilla 3.0, and Netscape 4.0 used Mozilla 4.0.
In 1998 the source code of Netscape 4 was made public - and the development of Netscape 5 was made an open source project.
The open source project for creating Netscape 5 was called "The Mozilla Project". Strangely enough, the code engine for the Mozilla Project was called Gecko.
Unfortunately it took Netscape more than three and a half years after the release of 4.0, to produce its next generation browser. This delay destroyed Netscape's possibilities to remain a credible alternative to Microsoft's Internet Explorer. Microsoft released IE 5.0 just after the Mozilla project had started, and was ready with IE 6.0 before Netscape managed to release a workable browser.
Netscape 6.0 based on Gecko M18 (Milestone 18) was released in November 2000.
After the release of Netscape 6.0, the Mozilla Project started to work on Netscape 7 based on an engine called Mozilla 1.0 !!.
Netscape 6 and 7 are built on Mozilla and Netscape and Mozilla are nearly an identical suite of applications.
The current version of Netscape 7 claims to have a code engine called Gecko 1.0 !!
At the moment the Mozilla Project is developing a new web browser called Firefox. Firefox was previously called Mozilla Firebird (which was previously called Phoenix, which claimed to be a new version of Mozilla).
Confused? I am.
The confusing name changes must have something to do with legal issues (I think).

Netscape is Officially Dead
 | On December 28, 2007, Netscape developers announced that AOL would discontinue their web browser on February 1, 2008, due to low market share. |
http://blog.netscape.com/2007/12/28/end-of-support-for-netscape
Netscape development director, Tom Drapeau, wrote: "AOL's focus on transitioning to an ad-supported Web business leaves little room for the size of investment needed to get the Netscape browser to a point many of its fans expect it to be."
AOL acquired Netscape in a $4.2 billion deal in 1998. In 2003 the Mozilla Foundation separated from Netscape and AOL with its former parent providing a $2 million dollar parting gift.Netscape had been based on Mozilla code since Netscape version 6.
The Netscape Problem
Netscape's 4.x series of browsers had a poor support for CSS and no support for XML.
It took Netscape nearly three and a half years after the release of 4.0, to produce its next generation browser. This delay has clearly hurt Netscape's possibilities to dominate the browser market.
Our browser statistics are showing that Netscape is losing the browser war.
Netscape Navigator 9
Netscape Navigator 9 was released in October. It is based on Mozilla Firefox 2.
New features in Netscape 9:
- Firefox Features - full support for all Firefox add-ons and plugins

Netscape 8.1.2 was released in September 2006. It is based on Mozilla Firefox.
Netscape 8 allows you to adjust the security level (Java, JavaScript, cookies settings), and also allows you to switch to use Internet Explorer's engine to render pages when necessary.
New features in Netscape 8:
- Site Controls (dual rendering engine)
- Multi-Bar (dynamic toolbar)
- Form fill/passcard
- Live Content
- Improved tabbed browsing

 | Internet Explorer is a free web browser from Microsoft, and it is one of the most popular internet browsers in the world. |
Internet Explorer 8
Internet Explorer 8 was released on March 19th 2009.
Microsoft claims that their new browser is faster, safer, and has better support for W3C standards.
New features in Internet Explorer 8:
- Accelerators - quick access to web services. On a restaurant web site, for example, you can click within the page to get maps, news, information about the restaurant, blog about it, or share it on Facebook
- Web Slice - keep up with changes to the sites you care about most
- Compatibility View - for web pages designed for older browsers
- Search Suggestions - get suggested content as you type
- New Tab features - allow you to open accidentally closed tabs, and group related tabs together using color codes
- Tab isolation - prevents a faulty web site from crashing the whole browser. Only the tab with the faulty page will close
- InPrivate - browsing the web without saving any data (like passwords, cookies, browsing history, etc.)
- SmartScreen - protects you against installation of malware, or malicious software which can compromise your data, privacy, and identity, and also damaging your computer and valuable data
Microsoft has announced that Internet Explorer 8 will interpret web pages according to strict W3C standards by default.
Previously, Microsoft announced that IE 8 would use the "IE7 standard" as default, and that interpreting web pages according to strict W3C standards would be a secondary option. This created strong reactions in the web developer community, as the "IE 7 standard" does not completely conform to W3C standards. However, Microsoft have now reversed this decision, and it looks like Internet Explorer 8 will be truly standards-compliant.
IE 8 has full support for CSS 2.1. In addition, it has fixed many cross-browser inconsistencies such as get/set/removeAttribute, default attributes, Attribute object and the tag.
Internet Explorer 7
Internet Explorer 7.0 was released in November 2006, and became the standard browser in Windows XP with Service Pack 2.
Internet Explorer 7 provides tabbed browsing, web search from the toolbar, advanced printing, easy discovery, reading and subscription to RSS feeds.
New features:
- Advanced printing (automatically scales a webpage for printing)
- Instant Search box
- Favorites Center
- RSS feeds (automatically detects RSS feeds)
- Tabbed browsing (view multiple sites in a single browser window)
- Quick Tabs
- Tab Groups
- Page zoom
Internet Explorer 6
Internet Explorer 6.0 was the standard browser in Windows XP. It was released in August 2001.
Windows XP is built on Windows 2000 and is the successor to Windows 98, Millennium, and Windows 2000.
Older Internet Explorer Versions
The older versions of Internet Explorer are no longer in use by any majority of users. Web developers will ignore them. Their functionality is outdated.
Version 5.5 (released in 2000) Support for XML/XSL, CSS, print preview and HTC behaviors.
Version 5.01 (released in 1999) Primarily a bug fix for 5.0.
Version 5.0 (released in 1999) The first major browser with XML support.
Version 4.0 (released in 1997). Support for CSS and DOM.
Version 3.0 (released in 1996) is now used by less than 0.1%.
Version 2.0 (released in 1995). It is too old. Nobody uses it.
Version 1.0 (released in 1995). Does anyone remember it?
Internet Explorer for Macintosh
Version 5.1.7 is the latest version of Internet Explorer for Mac OS 8 and 9. It was released in July 2003.
Version 5.2.3 is the latest version of Internet Explorer for Mac OS X. It was released in June 2003.
Note: version 5.2.3 requires special features in Mac OS X. Mac OS 8 and 9 users must download and install version 5.1.7.
Internet Explorer for Mac is no longer available for download!
In June 2003, the Microsoft Macintosh Business Unit announced that Internet Explorer for Mac would undergo no further development, and support would cease in 2005. Microsoft ended support for Internet Explorer for Mac on December 31st, 2005. Accordingly, as of January 31st, 2006, Internet Explorer for the Mac is no longer available for download from Microsoft.

With more than 8 million downloads, the Download Day is an amazing success. Firefox 3 market share, measured in real time by Net Applications is North of 6%, just 36 hours after the launch. But besides download numbers, the idea of setting a Guinness book record was immensely effective to get the word out. It was super effective in mobilizing our 180 million users and the members of the press. Press coverage has been amazing in all countries, including US&UK, France, Italy, Germany and Spain (there is no Google News in Poland). Not only the coverage is beyond amazing, it has also enabled Mozilla to reach a new level in terms of Open-Source visibility for itself, for the Mozilla Manifesto (our all of our values) and for the whole Open-Source / Free Software world. For all these reasons, I'm super proud to be part of it. Thanks a 8.3 million to all of you who have made this possible. To quote Schrep:
If you've filed a bug, translated a string, written code, worked on an add-on, supported the development infrastructure, or helped to explain Firefox to someone else, you were part of making Firefox 3 a success.
