A browser is a program that downloads HTML documents, images, and other content off the InterNet, and renders it all nicely for the user to look at. And feel free to come up with a better definition. |

Examples include [Mozilla] (see MozillaNotes), InternetExplorer, Konqueror, [Opera], MozillaFirefox, [lynx|lynx(1)]... the list is endless. |

[Opera] has the least broken implementation of [CSS] (which doesn't necessarily say much) and Konqueror has the most broken one. InternetExplorer just tends to be... idiosyncratic in its interpretation of the standard. (Sigh.) |

The first graphical WebBrowser (from ca. 1992?) was NCSA [Mosaic]. |

'' For the console, I'd actually seriously consider w3m(1) - it basically renders the page as a graphical browser would, within the constraints of a terminal. Also, nowadays, MozillaFirefox would be a serious option for browsing under X. It's also going to entirely replace "!SeaMonkey" (the [Mozilla] browser's project name), of which 1.7 is slated to be the last release. --AristotlePagaltzis'' |
