What hasn't anyone developed a browser, and just called it "Browser"?

When Android first came out, its browser was called "Browser". I actually appreciated that.

The stock Android browser is still called “Browser”. My Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.1.1 has Browser version 4.1.1.

That's almost as brilliantly perverse as the Mac OS originally being called "System".

It is extremely confusing.

    - It does not work in the browser!
    - Which browser?
    - The browser!
    - I got that, you idiot. WHICH browser?!

Only after their competitor Mail.Ru named their browser "Internet":
