There are only two browsers now, chrome(ium) and firefox. Everything else is one of those with some changes.
Firefox based is usually the way to go if you want to avoid anything Google related.
Otherwise, they're on par with each other, imo.
Isn't Safari WebKit which is different again? Or is that a chromium base as well? (I realise you can't exactly choose Safari unless you have Apple stuff, but I thought it was its own thing).
Safari is different from Chromium and Firefox but not widely available and pretty similar to Chromium in being webkit-based.
Some Linux packages have WebKit as a dependency and that often has something called
MiniBrowserinstalled as, well, precisely what it says it is. Not sure if it's available on Windows, but it's OK in a pinch.There are a few other lesser known browsers, not in the main families, that are currently in development too.
