Arrow Browser Myths.

BROWSER MYTHS.

Internet Explorer Myths
http://www.webdevout.net/ie_myths.php

eg : Microsoft developed Internet Explorer from scratch
NO ! The vast majority of Internet Explorer's code today was likely written by Microsoft itself, but the browser was originally developed from the source code of Spyglass Mosaic, a relatively unknown browser developed by Spyglass, Inc.

Firefox myths
http://www.webdevout.net/firefox_myths.php

eg : Firefox is faster than Internet Explorer
This blanket statement is not always true. Relative speed results depend on many factors, including hardware-related. The Internet Explorer window typically comes up faster than Firefox the first time you double-click on the program icon. This is mainly because core Internet Explorer libraries are actually loaded into memory as your computer is starting up...

Opera myths
http://www.webdevout.net/opera_myths.php

eg : Opera was the first browser with tabs
NO ! Despite common belief, Opera was not the first web browser to support tabbed pages. The first known web browser with tab support was InternetWorks, back in 1994.
