Note that Internet user data is related to the entire market, not the versions released in that year. The increased growth of the Internet in the 1990s and 2000s means that current browsers with small market shares have more total users than the entire market early on. For example, 90% market share in 1997 would be roughly 60 million users, but by the start of 2007 9% market share would equate to over 90 million users.<ref>''History and Growth of the Internet'' http://www.internetworldstats.com/emarketing.htm Accessed March 3 2007</ref> {| class="wikitable" style="font-size: 85%; text-align: left; width: auto;" |- !

The year listed for a version is usually the year of the first official release, with an end year being end of development, project change, or relevant termination. Releases of OS and browser from the early 1990s to before 2001-2002 time frame are the current focus. Many early browsers can be made to run on later OS (and later browsers on early OS in some cases), however, most of these situations are avoided in the table.Note, 'terminated' means the same as yes, it was supported in the final release but development stopped. Dropped means that major development has ended but development on other versions continued, while the reverse situation of added is not yet shown. {| class="sortable wikitable" style="font-size: 85%; text-align: center; width: auto;" |- ! style="width: 12em" | Browser !

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. Netscape resumed use of the ''Navigator'' name from ''Netscape Navigator 9.0 beta 1''.

Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 is the last version that supports Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0 SP6a, and Windows 2000. Internet Explorer 7 is bundled with [[Windows Vista]] and [[Windows Server 2008]] *{{note|PlatformSafari}} [[Safari (web browser)|Safari]] is included with [[Mac OS X]] and the latest version is always available only from the OS install or OS updates. ==Operating system support== The [[operating system]]s 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 [[Development stage#Alpha|alpha]] or [[Development stage#Pre-alpha|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 (for example, the [[Opera (web browser)|Opera]] web browser has gained a leading role for use in mobile phones, smartphones, the Nintendo DS and Wii, and Personal Digital Assistants, and is also used in Interactive televisions). {| class="wikitable sortable" style="font-size: 85%; text-align: center; width: auto;" |- ! style="width: 12em" | Browser !

[[Search engine]] toolbar ! style="width:10em" | security-options separately settable per site |} *{{note|ActiveX}} Internet Explorer is the only browser to natively support the [[Component Object Model]] (popularly known as [[ActiveX]]). Most other browsers use the [[NPAPI]] plugin architecture. ActiveX is more powerful than NPAPI in terms of the control it affords over the browser, but it is specific to Windows whereas NPAPI is cross-platform. There is a third-party plugin that adds partial ActiveX support, that is available for certain older versions of Mozilla Suite, Mozilla Firefox and Netscape Navigator. The default settings in earlier versions of Internet Explorer allowed the automatic download, installation, and running of new ActiveX controls with minimal user intervention - this made it possible to use ActiveX on web pages to install viruses, spyware, etc. onto a user's computer. *{{note|IESpell}} Spell checking can be added by installing an add-on like [http://www.iespell.com ieSpell]. *{{note|Lynx}} Lynx is able to edit text with an external editor, which can provide spell checking. *{{note|IESecSep}} [[Internet Explorer]] can handle per-site settings for [[HTTP cookie|cookies]]. Furthermore you can specify "trusted" and "untrusted" sites and assign pre-set rights to both categories. *{{note|MozSecSep}} [[Mozilla]] based [[Web browser|browsers]] like [[Mozilla Firefox|Firefox]], [[SeaMonkey]] and [[Flock (web browser)|Flock]] can handle per-site settings for [[HTTP cookie|cookies]], [[pop-ups]], and images. For more settings you need an add-on, for example [[NoScript]]. *{{note|OmniWebSecSep}} OmniWeb supports per-domain settings of options including support for disabling scripting, ad-blocking, java and cookies.

CSS 2.1 is derived from and is intended to replace CSS 2. Conformance criteria are detailed at [http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/conform.html at the W3C website].<!-- Are we following those criteria or not? We certainly should be. --> (CSS 3 is only in draft status at present.) For more detailed information please see [[comparison of layout engines (CSS)]]. *{{note|LINK}} LINK as a navigational aid, as distinct from non-navigational uses of LINK. *{{note|LINKext}} Not in standard install, but provided by extension.[http://www.christophm.de/software/firefox/cmSiteNavigation/][http://webcoder.info/reference/LinkBars.html] *{{note|XHTML}} [[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)]]. *{{note|DilloFrames}} [[Dillo]] displays frames as links that the user can click on. *{{note|IERSS}} Internet Explorer 7 only *{{note|IEMathML}} Available with the MathPlayer plugin. *{{note|XForms}} XForms is supported experimentally in nightly builds dated after [[January 28]] [[2005]] [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xforms/]. Requires installation of an extension. *{{note|aKregator}} RSS and ATOM feed autodetection in Konqueror depends on the aKregator package which is installed with kdepim. *{{note|OpMATHML}} It is possible to use CSS to partially style [[MathML]] in Opera ([http://blog.codingforums.com/index.php/main/blogentry/crossbrowser_compound_xml_documents/ see here for more]). Since Opera 9.0 Technical Preview 2 (Opera 9TP2) it is also possible to use a [http://www.opera.com/support/tutorials/userjs/ user javascript] method to support [[MathML]] ([http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=124033 see here]). *{{note|epiphany-extensions}} RSS and ATOM feed autodetection in Epiphany depends on the Newsfeed extension which is included with [[Epiphany-extensions]]. *{{note|IEWF2}} Web Forms 2.0 can be emulated in IE using DHTML behaviours, [https://sourceforge.net/projects/wf2/ available from SourceForge]. *{{note|FXWF2}} Web Forms 2.0 functionality is currently being added to Gecko, there should be at least partial support for Gecko 1.9 (Firefox 3.0).

The format is also the native display format under Mac OS X. *{{note|KonqPDF}} Inline PDF viewing in Konqueror requires KPDF which is included in kdegraphics. *{{note|IECanvas}} Internet Explorer can be made to emulate canvas using the [http://excanvas.sourceforge.net/ script provided by Google]. *{{note|gecko}} Support for these features depends on the version of the Gecko rendering engine that Epiphany was built with. *{{note|CairoPDF}} With the addition of the new [[Cairo (graphics)|Cairo]] version in Gecko 1.9 it will be natively possible to save pages to PDFs but not read them. Whether this feature will be included in Firefox 3.0 or later has yet to be specified it is however possible with the new Cairo backend. ==Internationalization== Most browsers are available in more than one language. {| class="wikitable sortable" style="font-size: 85%; text-align: center; width: auto;" |- ! style="width:12em" | Browser !
