      abstract = {The Web today has become the most useful andpopular platform for application development. In thebeginnings of the Web, applications provided users just theability to browse and read content. The expansion andadoption of new web technologies has led to a significantincrease in development and, more importantly, usage of webapplications that allow users to create their own content andimpact their life. Almost every Internet user uses a web browser to access any content on the Internet. Each web application is designed and developed to be executed inside the web browser. Browser extensions are remarkably popular, with one in three users running at least one extension. Browser extensions allow for customization of the browser by adding functionality. The way these extensions are integrated strongly differs in the four major browsers i.e. Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and Internet Explorer. In this paper, there is an analysis of popular web browsers and their architecture. It also includes analysis of different browser extensions and their architecture with their security.},
