Browsers
Netscape Navigator was the original browser success

Seamonkey is currently carrying the Navigator banner

Microsoft took over with Internet Explorer about 1996

But it has lost its dominance
Firefox was the next big thing

Lots of people love it, but it, too, has vulnerabilities. There are some display issues as well.
Google's Chrome is now one of the most used

It, too, has its pros and cons.
Other browsers
Wikipedia has a listing of different browsers, categorized by their layout engine and compares them by a series of different measures. There are other visualizations as well.

Bottom line - use the one that fits your needs
