In September 2008, Google released a large portion of Chrome's source code, including its V8 JavaScript engine, as an open source project entitled Chromium. This move enabled third-party developers to study the underlying source code and to help convert the browser to the Mac OS X and Linux operating systems. Google also expressed hope that other browsers would adopt V8 to improve web application performance. The Google-authored portion of Chromium is released under the permissive BSD license, which allows portions to be incorporated into both open source and closed source software programs. Other portions of the source code are subject to a variety of open source licenses. Chromium implements the same feature set as Chrome, but lacks built-in automatic updates and Google branding, and most noticeably has a blue-colored logo in place of the multicolored Google logo.

Avant Browser was largely inspired by Opera, the first major browser to have a multiple document interface. The developer's objective was to wrap a comparable interface around the layout engine used by Internet Explorer, thereby achieving Opera-like ergonomics without suffering the frequent problems that browser had rendering pages tested only in IE. In fact it was initially released under the name "IEopera", though this was soon changed due to the obvious trademark issues.

Deepnet Explorer is a web browser created by Deepnet Security for the Microsoft Windows platform. The most recent version is 1.5.3 (BETA 3) which was Released October 19, 2006. Developed in Britain, Deepnet Explorer gained early recognition both for its use of anti-phishing tools and the inclusion of a peer-to-peer facility for file sharing, based on the Gnutella network.The anti-phishing feature, in combination with other additions, led the developers to claim that it had a higher level of security than either Firefox or Internet Explorer—however, as the underlying rendering engine was still the same as that employed in Internet Explorer, it was suggested that the improved security would fail to address the vulnerabilities found in the rendering engine

Version compability

Internet is a suite consisting of a web browser, email client, address book, web page editor (Composer) and an IRC client (Chatzilla). In essence, is a project that continues the development of Mozilla Application Suite, with the development made and controlled entirely by its community of developers and users through The SeaMonkeyCouncil, an organization supported mainly in terms of technical resources by the Mozilla Foundation.

History

On March 10, 2005, the Mozilla Foundation announced that it would not release any official versions of Mozilla Application Suite beyond 1.7.x, since it had now focused on the standalone applications Firefox and Thunderbird. However, the Foundation emphasized that it would still provide infrastructure for community members who wished to continue development. In effect, this meant that the suite would still continue to be developed, but now by the SeaMonkey Council instead of the Mozilla Foundation.

The SeaMonkey Council, which is the team responsible for project and release management, currently consists of Mark Banner, Christian Biesinger, Karsten Düsterloh, Robert Kaiser, Ian Neal, Neil Rashbrook, and Andrew Schultz.

The first version of SeaMonkey, 1.0 Alpha, was released on September 15, 2005,followed by SeaMonkey 1.0 stable released on January 30, 2006. The release of SeaMonkey2.0 Alpha 2 on December 10, 2008, scored 93/100 on the Acid 3 test.

NetSurf is an open source web browser which runs on a variety of platforms including RISC OS, AmigaOS and Unix-like systems. NetSurf has features that include tabbed browsing, text selection and PDF export. Running on other platforms is also possible by building from source, with the developers intending to add further binaries when time can be found to do so.

Features

NetSurf's multi-platform core is written in

ANSI C, and implements most of the HTML 4

and CSS 2.1 specifications using its own

bespoke layout engine. As of version

2.0, NetSurf uses Hubbub, an HTML parser

that follows the work-in-progress HTML5

specification. As well as rendering

GIF, JPEG, PNG and BMP images, the

browser also supports formats native to RISC

OS, including Sprite, Draw and ArtWorks

files. As of 2010, NetSurf has no support for

JavaScript.
