Over the years Macintosh computers have favoured three main browsers. Originally there was Netscape Navigator, then in 1997 that was replaced by Microsoft Internet Explorer, and finally Apple developed its own browser, Safari, released in 2003.
Since then Apple has ported Safari to Windows XP, Vista and the iPhone but so far hasn't written a version for Linux. However, Linux users can run Safari using Wine and they have also had a version of the Konqueror browser since 2000, which uses the same basic KHTML rendering engine as Safari's Webkit.
Both Linux and Mac users can also run the Firefox or Opera browsers, each of which remains in full development across the Linux, Mac and Windows platforms. A number of other browsers are also available for Mac OS and Linux.
