drx: Browsers A Browser is the most common client application (or user agent), designed for interacting with a Web Server. When a request is made, the host server is contacted, and after a brief negotiation the resource is returned and the browser displays it. Browse Happy 12 Jun 2005 at 4:46am Brought to you by the Web Standards Project and now part of WordPress. You have a choice, educate and empower yourself. UA Profiler 25 Nov 2008 at 5:38pm A community-driven profiling and performance tool for browsers. Metrics cover connections per and across hostnames, do scripts and stylesheets block other downloads, compression, are resources with Expires headers cached, do prefetch and data URLs work? Gears 22 Nov 2008 at 11:57pm Gears is a plugin that extends your browser to create a richer platform for Web applications. For example, Webmasters can use Gears on their site to let users access information offline or provide you with content based on your geographical location. Flock 29 Oct 2008 at 1:20am Branding itself the "Social Web Browser," Flock v2.0, released earlier this month, is built from a Firefox 3.0 codebase. The browser targets social networking and "Web 2.0" users, integrating these popular sites with features like the content "Media Bar" Chrome 28 Sep 2008 at 1:41am Google Chrome is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier. Built on components from WebKit and Firefox, the first release is in beta for Windows, and on the way for Linux and Mac OSX. Graded Browser Support 15 Feb 2006 at 5:56am The days of "best viewed in browser X" have expired, replaced by progressive enhancement and graceful degradation. The Yahoo! Development Network now classifies browsers into three categories: A-grade (capable), C-grade (incapable) and X-grade (fringe). Camino 8 Feb 2006 at 8:10pm A fast, standards-compliant Mac OS X browser based on Mozilla, but uses a native Cocoa interface over XUL. However, like Firefox it uses the Gecko layout engine (Safari uses WebCore). Originally developed by David Hyatt, who is now a Safari team member. Where Did Firefox Come From? 8 Feb 2006 at 4:46am The story of Mozilla is long and rich in detail. There are many perspectives. This is Ben Goodger's. Konqueror 5 Feb 2006 at 3:11am Konqueror is an open-source Web browser and file manager built for the Linux KDE desktop environment. It uses the KHTML layout engine, from which Apple's WebCore is derived. Supported are HTML 4.01, ECMAScript-262 (JavaScript), CSS and DOM standards. OmniWeb 5 Feb 2006 at 2:38am Although not open-source or free (you can download an evaluation copy), like Safari, the OmniWeb browser uses the WebCore rendering engine. Among Mac OS X users, it has a small but loyal following so it would be worth your while to install and try it out. Shiira 5 Feb 2006 at 12:29am Shiira is an open-source Web browser for Mac OS X. Written in Cocoa, it uses the WebCore (KHTML) rendering/layout engine, so it has the same standards and CSS support as Safari RSS. The stated goal of the project is "better and more useful than Safari." SeaMonkey 4 Feb 2006 at 1:56am For Mozilla Suite fans out there, SeaMonkey 1.0 has just been released. On the surface, the browser looks like Netscape, under the hood it's built much like Firefox. Includes an email/newsgroup client, chat software, browser and Web page (HTML) editor. SafariTest 24 Dec 2005 at 4:11pm Lixlpixel's site has been out of commission lately, and Browsershots is so heavily loaded that I no longer use it. So, if you're looking for a new place to test your designs in Safari, this is the place to go. Powered by all open-source tools, of course! The Web Browser History Project 16 Aug 2005 at 5:30am Learn how the first browser war ignited in this side-by-side release and feature history of Explorer and Navigator, each starting with version 1.0 and ending at 6/7 respectively. IE7 will be out later this year, and Netscape is at 8. See Firefox/Safari. Web Browser History 7 Aug 2005 at 8:55am Beginning with Tim Berners-Lee and his WorldWideWeb browser (and server) for the NeXT (circa 1991) through Firefox (based on the Mozilla browser), this timeline runs you through everything in between. Many you may have heard of, some you may not have. Remembering Netscape: The Birth of the Web 17 Jul 2005 at 5:39pm For the tenth anniversary of its IPO, Fortune Magazine recruited dozens of players to tell, in their own words, the story of the startup that brought us into the Internet era. This is the first of a two-part story. Browser News: Stats 9 Jul 2005 at 11:14pm This site reports on browser usage from five different sources. However, as the page will warn you, you should take these numbers with a grain of salt because they can be misleading or skewed, depending on the source, and are effected by other factors. Netscape, Mozilla and SillyDog 2 Jul 2005 at 5:56pm SillyDog, what? This guy has been following the Netscape browser for eons, and I'm embarrassed to admit I hadn't heard of this site until recently. How many people even remember what Mozilla stands for? Oh the irony, as it is so frequently spotted. Netscape History 30 Jun 2005 at 9:39pm A timeline of Netscape, from its beginnings as NCSA Mosiac, the commercialization of the browser by Marc Andreessen, milestones like cookies and Javascript, purchase by AOL and the Mozilla fork, all the way to the present day Firefox derivation (v8). IE vs. the World 24 May 2005 at 11:35am The six "top" browsers are compared, rated, and reviewed individually. Select the "compare these products" from the right sidebar for a detailed, side-by-side chart of features. Clear winners: Firefox, and Safari for Mac users. |
