Dan's Web Tips:

"Brand-X" Browsers: No, the Web is Not a Netscape Microsoft Google Monopoly

See also Bosnian, Czech, Estonian, French, German (by Daniel Gruber), Greek, Hungarian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Norwegian, Russian, Urdu (by RealMS) translations (done by others in their own sites).

TIP: Be aware that there are browsers out there besides ~~Netscape~~ ~~Internet Explorer~~ Chrome -- and not all of them outdated or underpowered. In fact, the "top dog" in the browser wars has changed repeatedly over the years, and early versions of this page referred to a Netscape vs. Microsoft browser war that is long over, but new browser wars have followed and more probably will in the future. Many of these browsers meet special needs not served by the "mainstream" browser(s). You might want to try some of them to test the cross-browser compatibility of your pages.

This page started out as a simple list of alternative browsers, but it kept growing and growing, adding lots of listings as well as supplementary information introducing the browsers. Finally, I had to split it into several parts in order to keep the page length at a more reasonable level.

Introduction -- Some general information about alternative browsers.
User Agent Strings -- How browsers identify (and mis-identify) themselves.
MSIE In Sheep's Clothing -- Some 'alternative browsers' really aren't.
Non-HTML Browsers -- There's more to the Web than HTML, or even HTTP.
Browser List: A-G
Browser List: H-N
Browser List: O-Z
