Web browsers

This is my interesting search of the day. "Web browsers". Of course, most of the computer users know what a web browser is and what it does (will try to post in detail on this soon). But what made the search very interesting is the unexpected outcome of it "The list of web browsers". The available web browsers one knows can go some thing like this: IE, Mozilla firefox, Opera and Safari...anything else??? There seems to be plenty. But why do we have multiple web browsers at the first place? Is it because of different Operating systems support? portability? Do GOOGLE!!!!!

Anyway the different web browsers have some built in support for various applications we run using web browsers. To understand just have a look at the following links. Will update you further regarding this in the following posts.
