Gnuzilla is the GNU version of the Mozilla suite with Iceape the equivalent of Seamonkey (whole moz suite) and IceCat their version Firefox (IceWeasel was the FF version but seems that Debian is now using that name). Only difference is that GNU remove certain non-free software from the binary distributions, plus add a few privacy tweaks - well that's GNU for you. *nix's only.

A collection of google related strings. Some not strictly a browser - but increasingly crawling around your site in multiple disguises. Many of the strings functions are unverified - if you have more information please update. Google Chrome browser strings. And the Google Nexus Phones.
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; Google Wireless Transcoder;)
Explanation: This is a google service that acts as a proxy and converts web sites to a mobile format - somewhat controversial because it seems to drop its own adsense data to make it all fit better and downgrade to Moz 4. Same string also appears under MSIE since it pretends to be MSIE6.x. String from Lucy Thao and Venkatesh Mohan - thanks.
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 1.1; en-gb; dream) AppleWebKit/525.10+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0.4 Mobile Safari/523.12.2

Not strictly a browser but a collection of Java classes implementing HTTP functions that can be used by an application to handle HTTP stuff. Apache's Jakarta project also features something called HTTPClient - thanks to Joe Francis for the update - and we feature both strings below. Application could be a browser if you so wished or an e-mail harvester or whatever. HTTPClient We featured this string in our mystery section and still do. Not HTTPClients fault if some nasty guys use a harmless library for nasty things.

Hv3 is a mimimal browser based on the Tkhtml3 rendering engine and written in Tcl. Currently (Sept 2008 in Alpha release). BTW: The Tkmtml3 got us thinking it may be a trivial HTML subset - as usual we were wrong. The engine supports CSS and HTML 4'ish. And EMCA script (Javascript 1.3). available for windows and *nix (and uses that jolly clever startkit idea from those Tcl/TK folks).
Mozilla/5.1 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.3) Gecko/20060425 SUSE/1.5.0.3-7 Hv3/alpha
Explanation: Hv3 on kubuntu Hardy. While the string includes Gecko it does not use the Gecko rendering engine. The SUSE part of the string may be related to the fact that this was a binary install. String from Jake Wasdin - thanks.

A Mac only browser with some very nice features. You get to buy this one for $29. Tough business model with Safari and Camino now available. Beta versions are free. However this is the only currently being developed browser that runs across the whole MAC range - if you need a single browser interface that spans from the ancient 680x0 Macs to the whizbang OS X world - there is only one game in town - iCab.

ICE Browser/5.05 (Java 1.4.0; Windows 2000 5.0 x86)

Explanation: Kkman 2.0 on XP. String from Nathan Corn - thanks.
Lightweight version of Mozilla. Runs on Windows only. The windows download of this baby is still around 5MB. That's light.

Our browser of choice on windows. No contest. Still. Sorry Firefox.

The original text only browser(?) - seems like pushing water uphill until you realise that a lot of folks with sight problems use it as well.

All that Web 2.0 stuff that turns 5 lines of text into a 250K download. Now that really progress.
