In fact, calling them "browsers" is a stretch if not completely wrong; they're simply enhancements on top of the underlying Webkit browser engine webOS uses. Chrome and Safari can get away with calling their implementations of Webkit "browsers" because they actually contribute to the core source of Webkit's browser engine, implementing new browser technologies such as bleeding-edge CSS3, WebGL, etc. instead of simply wrapping a bunch of helpful functions around the engine and calling it a day. webOS' stock browser gets away with it because they're using Webkit in a completely innovative way (for the time; not so much now, with B2G going much further), where the browser is the application engine.
Until the alternative webOS "browsers" do the same, they're merely browser "enhancements", repackaging the browser with some additional functionality and zero changes to the actual core powering it...which is why when people say Advanced Browser works better than the stock webOS browser in performance (not features), I facepalm like you wouldn't believe.
(Lest you think I'm being unfair, I thought the same way about Flock, Rockmelt, and all those other repackaged browsers as browsers that aren't really browsers per se.)
I know the whole story bro. I just noted them down 'cause I was doing a full test for the statistics so I tested everything available
