AppMac just introduced three new web browsers. These are specialized browsers aimed at children (with parental controls), office use (with controls for the company to stop downloads, etc), and a kiosk browser. Fortunately, all of them are based on the Gecko rendering engine, the HTML engine developed as a part of the mozilla project. This means that the three new browsers are essentially the same (at the core) as Netscape 6/7, Mozilla 1.x, Chimera, and other Gecko-based browsers. Since Gecko has good standards compliance, developers just need to write to standards and not worry about which browser gets used to view the content. Very cool.
