Today, by chance I came across an interesting article in Wikipedia, in which the
complete family tree of all browsers (current and former) was built. Fascinating, I tell you, the sight. You can also see almost the same data, but in the form of a
vertical table . By the way, according to this table, until recently there were two oldest browsers - Netscape and Opera. Now, due to
well-known circumstances , only Opera remained from the old-timers of the Internet.
In addition, based on the above information, a small
interactive table was published on the WebWare site, showing the frequency with which new versions of today's most popular browsers appear. The authors immediately warn that in IE 6 it will not work, because It does not support relevant web standards. According to this study, the most stably developing browser updating versions with an enviable constancy is Opera.
