To the people, is Firefox still the go to browser? Is there something better out there for the average person? I've heard good things about internet explorer.

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).

Originally there was KHTML, developed by KDE for the konquerer browser. This was then forked by Apple to WebKit which is used by safari and gnome web. Google then forked WebKit to blink, the browser engine chromium uses.

Safari is different from Chromium and Firefox but not widely available and pretty similar to Chromium in being webkit-based.
