Platforms and Browsers

When asked to name a browser most of us can only think of about four: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, and Opera. However there are more browsers than you are aware of; in fact, there are over 100 exisitng (although not widely used) browser applications. Most of them use the same rendering engines Trident (Internet Explorer), Gecko (Mozilla Firefox), WebCore (Safari) and Presto (Opera 7 and above). However, some of them offer large fields for experiments and exploration — e.g. 3D Engines, but also really useful browsers with advanced functionalities such as desktop-tools integration.
