HISTORY

1.On January 7, 2003, at Macworld San Francisco, Steve Jobs announced that Apple had developed their own web browser, called Safari. It was based on Apple's internal fork of the KHTML rendering engine, called WebKit.[13] Apple released the first beta version for OS X that day. A number of official and unofficial beta versions followed, until version 1.0 was released on June 23, 2003. Initially only available as a separate download for Mac OS X v10.2, it was included with the Mac OS X v10.3 release on

October 24, 2003 as the default browser, with

Internet Explorer for Mac included only as an alternative browser. 1.0.3, released on August 13, 2004 was the last version to support Mac OS X v10.2, while 1.3.2, released on January 12, 2006 was the last version to support Mac OS X v10.3. However, 10.3 received security updates

through 2007.

2. Uzbl is a free and open source minimalist web browser designed for simplicity and adherence to the Unix philosophy. Development began in early 2009 and is still considered in alpha software by the developers. The core component of Uzbl is

written in C but other languages are also used,

most notably Python. All parts of the Uzbl project are released as free software under the GNU

General Public License version 3.

3. WebPositive (also called Web+) is

the graphical web browser included as part of the Haiku operating system since version R1 /

Alpha 2. It was created to replace the aging

BeZillaBrowser[1] (a port of Firefox 2) with a native WebKit-based browser.

among Android applications.

In 2010 Skyfire purchased kolbysoft and the

Steel browser.[5]

5. Android, Inc. was founded in Palo Alto, California in October 2003 by Andy Rubin (co-founder of Danger),[22] Rich Miner (co-founder of Wildfire Communications, Inc.),[23] Nick Sears (once VP at T-Mobile),[24] and Chris White (headed design and interface development at WebTV[16]) to develop, in Rubin's words, "smarter mobile devices that are more aware of its owner's location and preferences".[16] The early intentions of the company were to develop

an advanced operating system for digital

cameras.

6. Maxthon (originally known as MyIE2) is a freeware web browser forWindows, OS X and Linux that is developed in China by the companyMaxthon Ltd. It is also available on Windows Phone 8,[9] iOS[10] andAndroid[11] platforms as Maxthon

Mobile. Since the release of version 3, Maxthon

supports both the Trident and the WebKit rendering engines.[12]

pursuing a PhD and became the CEO. Lunascape was selected as "Exploratory

8.Konqueror was released with version 2 of KDE

on October 23, 2000.[5] It replaces its

predecessor, KFM (KDE file manager).[6] With

the release of KDE 4, Konqueror was replaced

as the default file manager by Dolphin, but is still maintained..[5]

9. Epic was released on August 29, 2013 and focused on protecting users' privacy online. First released on 15 July 2010, Epic Browser is originally based on Google Chrome and is customized to the taste of Indian users. The browser had several pre-installed widgets such as social networking, chat clients and email facilities integrated into the browser.[4][6][7][8]

10. Chilean software engineer Jorge Arellano Cid conceived of the Dillo project in late 1999,[8] publishing the first version of Dillo in December of that year.[9] His primary goal in creating Dillo was to democratize access to information. Arellano Cid believed that no one should have to buy a new computer or pay for broadband in order to enjoy the World Wide Web.[10] To this end, he designed Dillo to be small, fast, and efficient, capable of performing well even on an Intel 80486 CPU with a dial-up Internet

access.[4][11]
