No. Web Browsers work on the system they were built for. Many (most?) modern web browsers have built a 'flavor' for the major OS's (Mac, Windows, Linux) and also now have x86 or x64 editions available. You still can't just take any old browser installer and toss it on whatever type of machine you have.

internet Explorer, owned my Microsoft, is not likely to ever be supported on Linux, even though IE for Mac was the default browser from 98 through 2003 (MS and Apple had a 5 year contract for MS to provide a browser that worked on Mac OS, Apple replaced IE with their own creation, Safari, at the end of the contract).

Others, like Firefox and Chrome, are not made by people with an ownership stake in an operating system and many of these folks like using a variety of Operating Systems and still have their favorite browsers with them.

Add Safari into that mix, and you'll find it's not officially supported on Linux, but there is of course a Windows version to help try to gain market share for it.

Then you get into older browsers, like Netscape Navigator, Slipknot, and older versions of browsers that are still being made (Internet Explorer 1.0, Firefox 1.0) and you'll find that they're not supported on anything, as they are past their life cycle and were designed for operating systems that are no longer in use (Windows 95/98/ME, Apple Mac OS 1/2/3 etc.) and even though they MIGHT run, at least partially, on current operating systems, they are bound to have errors, issues, or funkiness someplace. It's like saying since humans live on a planet, we can obviously live on Mars. Well, we might be able to do so, but not without some very extensive special accommodations being made.

Browsers used for HTML?

All browsers can read html. However, not all tags work the same on all browsers, with some being ignored and older browsers may show pages differently. Some browsers have tags that are designed specifically for them, so they should be avoided in favour of tags that work on all browsers.
