  • There are four different products which all carry the name Netscape: Netscape versions 1 through 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, is a new browser based on Firefox that can use both the Gecko (Firefox) and Trident (Internet Explorer) engines. See Netscape for more info.

Browser Date Version Date Version Version (date) Version (date)
  • As of August 2004, at least Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 is required to install the latest version of Internet Explorer for Windows. Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 is the last version that still works with Windows 98, Windows ME, Window NT 4.0 SP6a, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
  • Mac OS X v10.4 is required to install the latest version of Safari.

Operating system support


The operating systems the browsers have been compiled to run on without emulation; for the given browser/OS combination, there are seven possibilities:
  • No indicates that it does not exist or was never released.
  • Partial indicates that while the browser works, it lacks important functionality or is extremely unstable compared to versions for other OSs (that is to say it has roughly alpha or pre-alpha quality). It is still being developed however.
  • Beta indicates that while a version of the browser is fully functional and has been released, it is still in development (e.g. for stability).
  • Yes indicates that the browser has been officially released in a fully functional, stable version.
  • Dropped indicates 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.
  • Terminated indicates that while the browser works (e.g. Internet Explorer for Mac), development has ceased and no new versions will be released; the number in parentheses is the last known stable version.
  • Included indicates that the browser comes pre-packaged as part of or has been integrated into the operating system.
Please note that the 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 yet exist) but does not include the growing appliance segment (e.g.the Opera browser has gained a leading role for use in mobile phones, smartphones and Personal Digital Assistants, and is also used in Interactive televisions).

  • Internet Explorer is the only browser to support the Component Object Model (popularly known as ActiveX) natively. The embedding of ActiveX into Internet Explorer can add functionality to the browser, however this can also lead to infection with computer viruses, trojans and spyware.
  • Spell checking can be added by installing an add-on like ieSpell.
  • Implemented in Internet Explorer 7.
  • For the download manager kdenetwork needs to be installed.
  • Spell checking can be added by installing an extension like the open source Spellbound or Google Toolbar for Firefox. Spellcheck is planned and currently in development for version 2.0 of Firefox.
  • On Linux and Windows, Spell checking requires GNU Aspell to be installed.
  • Opera can auto-complete forms with your personal information and website usernames.

Browser Tabbed browsing Pop-up blocking Incremental finding Ad filtering Page zooming
  • Page zooming is different from text resizing, as it resizes not only characters, but also multimedia objects and web page layout.
  • K-Meleon, Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape, and SeaMonkey support simple domain name-based blocking for images. More advanced regular expression-based Ad filtering for Mozilla and Mozilla Firefox can be added with external software such as the AdBlock extension. Selective CSS can also effectively hide ads.
  • Epiphany supports AdBlock as an official extension.
  • Opera 9 introduced a content blocker for webpages. Earlier releases support wildcard protocol/domain/path and filetype blocking using a filter.ini *.
  • Tabbed browsing and Page Zooming available only in Internet Explorer 7.
  • Tabbed browsing turned off by default in Safari.
  • Plug-in Available.
  • Only on Windows XP SP2 and Windows 2003 Server. Will also be available in Windows Vista.

Browser CSS2  Frames Java XSLT XHTML 1.0  XHTML 1.1  MathML XForms RSS Atom SVG Web Forms 2.0 VoiceXML/X+V WML
  • CSS2 Revision 1, a W3C candidate recommendation, is the current version of CSS. Conformance criteria are detailed at at the W3C website. (CSS3 is only in draft status at present.) For more detailed information please see comparison of layout engines (CSS).
  • 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).
  • Dillo displays frames as links that the user can click on.
  • Internet Explorer 7 Beta only
  • Available with the MathPlayer plugin.
  • XForms is supported experimentally in nightly builds dated after January 28 2005 *. Requires installation of an extension.
  • RSS and ATOM feed autodetection in Konqueror depends on the aKregator package which is installed with kdepim.
  • It is possible to use CSS to partially style MathML in Opera (see here for more). Since Opera 9.0 Technical Preview 2 (Opera 9TP2) it is also possible to use a user javascript method to support MathML (see here).
  • RSS and ATOM feed autodetection in Epiphany depends on the Newsfeed extension which is included with Epiphany-extensions.
  • Support for these features depends on the version of the Gecko rendering engine that Epiphany was built with.
  • Web Forms 2.0 can be emulated in IE using DHTML behaviours, available from SourceForge.

JavaScript support


Information about what JavaScript technologies the browsers support. Note that although XPath is used by XSLT, it is only considered here if it can be accessed using JavaScript.

Browser HTTP E-mail FTP NNTP (Usenet) SSL IRC Gopher IDN URL BitTorrent
  • Many browsers have purposely avoided support for e-mail and newsgroups, as these are reserved for their mail-client counterparts. For a comparison of such counterparts see comparison of e-mail clients.
  • IE fails to comply with KeepAlive Headers as well other aspects of HTTP/1.0 and 1.1 and also "Clean Shutdown" and support for 256-bit Cyphers (AES for example) for SSL/TLS.
  • IRC support can added by installing ChatZilla.
  • Gopher is supported through proxy servers.
  • IDN support can be added by installing VeriSign i-Nav Plug-In. The upcoming Internet Explorer 7 will support IDN. *
  • IDN domains are displayed as punycode by default for security reasons
  • Only with the SSL dll version.
  • Konqueror has full Gopher support when the kgopher KIO plugin is installed.
  • HTTP-Auth (Basic/Digest), WebDav and GZip info missing

Browser JPEG GIF PNG MNG TIFF SVG PDF 2D Canvas
  • Internet Explorer does not support progressive display of progressive JPEG.
  • Internet Explorer supports PNG images but is unable to correctly display images with alpha channel (for transparency), gamma correction and color correction. Alpha channel is said to be supported in version 7 *.
  • Support of MNG/JNG was dropped since June 6 2003 *.
  • Most browsers support TIFF by using a plugin installed by the user.
  • 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.
  • KDE has developed its own SVG plugin for Konqueror, known as KSVG KSVG1 development has ended, but work on the next-generation kdom-based KSVG2 has been very active * meaning at some point KSVG2 should become part of Konqueror.
  • Firefox and SeaMonkey partially support SVG 1.1 Full. Modules that are implemented or not implemented and details of their implementation: *.
  • Since version 8, Opera supports SVG Tiny. Opera 9 has partial support for SVG Basic.
  • KSVG2 has been ported into Safari's WebKit, meaning that eventually SVG will make its way into Safari *.
  • 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 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.
  • Inline PDF viewing in Konqueror requires KPDF which is included in kdegraphics.
  • Internet Explorer can be made to emulate canvas using the script provided by Google.

Most browsers are available in more than one language.
