Interesting little piece of internet history. I remember starting with Internet Explorer, then the Firefox, Safari for a bit and I use Chrome now.

Missing from this is a little known side story. Konqueror, the KDE browser on linux. Circa 2000, KDE wrote their own browser from scratch, with a new rendering engine, called KHTML. KHTML was forked to become Webkit, the underlying engine behind Safari, and later forked again to become the first Chromium engine. In many ways, all of the major browsers, except Firefox, owe their current heritage to KDE. Opera, which still exists surprisingly, also uses Webkit.
The really funny thing here is the name, Konqueror. Navigator, Explorer, Konqueror. ;)
Check if your browser’s user agent says “KHTML” in it
