BrowserChoice.eu is supposed to list the most popular browsers by marketshare...at least according to eu.Smallman12q (talk) 01:35, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps as a see-also.  That list is using different criteria, and merging would confuse things Tedickey (talk) 08:56, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

message: Second Life, which has had over 20 million downloads or so (est. number), with 800,000+ regular monthly users (see latest statistics), implements WebKit as the in-world browser, to the exclusion of any other. While "close to a million users" is not much in terms of the 3 billion or so Internet population, and hardly registers on the statistics, it's still one "major WebKit-based browser" out there. I wonder, thus, if it should be added to the list then...

message: Safari forks from Konqueror (well, WebKit from KHTML)... ok.
But I'd say we should separate KHTML and WebKit after the Konqueror/Safari fork. -- ekerazha (talk) 09:40, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

message: Should Spyglass Mosaic really under Mosaic-based? It was a clean-room programmed application independent from Mosaic... mabdul 08:41, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Then IE doesn't belong there either since it was based on Spyglass Mosaic.  I think it is clear that the look of the Mosaic GUI was used for both Spyglass and IE.  It is very unclear what "code base" means.  Did NCSA Mosaic, Spyglass Mosaic and IE all use the same LIBWWW2 (as modified by NCSA)?  If so, then it is a lie to say the code bases were separate.

text: Mabdul, Spyglass Mosaic isn't clean-room. Spyglass even had a contract regulating NCSA Mosaic's source code traffic. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 12:39, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

message: I think the Webkit list should have Webkit2 and Blink sub-lists added. Both are derived from the original Webkit, but are significantly different. Note that there may be browsers that continue to be based up on the original Webkit as well as others based on Webkit2. ⇔ ChristTrekker 19:56, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

message: I think there was never a public version of Opera 15 before Google forked it and created Blink which the current 15+ Opera versions are based on.

message: There is a type of speciality browser used in education, for students doing exams. This locks down the students computer while it is running, to try to reduce the possibilities for cheating (however you define that). Two examples would be Safe Exam Browsr (http://www.safeexambrowser.org/) or Respondus Lockdown browser (https://www.respondus.com/products/lockdown-browser/). I was quite surprised to find no mention of those anywhere on Wikipedia (unless my search skills are failing me). Should the have a place somewhere here? If so where? I could probably write a reasonable stub page about either or both, although I am not a very expert Wikipedian. Thanks.--Tim J Hunt (talk) 19:16, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

message: The historical section have non-updated values that give a wrong impression about today uses. The graphic is outdated of 6 years, showing a IE with majority when today is one of the less used against Chrome/Firefox. I would suggest to update / remove this section. I am not able to make it mayself.

message: An edit presented this as "Further information", misleading the reader to expect relevant information rather than (the actual) poorly-sourced topic for a browser.  The source for that does not give the date of introduction, nor actually any support for "early browser". TEDickey (talk) 23:00, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
