At the basic level there are only a couple of different types of web 
browser. Most desktop browsers are based on Google's Chromium or 
Mozilla, but Mac Safari and most (if not all) iOS / iPadOS browsers are 
based on WebKit.

But even being based on the same source code doesn't quite mean they 
all work or don't work on the various websites.
