Where can I find a breakdown of the difference between web browsers from a developer's prospective?

I always wanted to know what makes IE different than Firefox from Chrome, Opera, etc. Please let me know where I can find this info.

    Do you mean from the perspective of a web developer, or browser developer?

Have a look at this article for some detailed, useful information such as:

  • Image format support
  • Plugins and syndicated content support
  • JavaScript support
  • Operating system support
  • Vulnerabilities

All of this information appears to be kept very current about modern browsers. The article lists some useful information about historical browsers as well.

I imagine that a web developer could find no more informative a comparison without giving up some degree of the breadth afforded by that article.
