I'm pretty sure I haven't seen this done anywhere else on the 'net, so here goes.
Mozilla Firefox is Doom, because despite having been based on an antiquated source, the community has turned it into something that remains popular, and has made mods for it that make it do things that browsers really shouldn't have to do. All that, and the latest version has far higher system requirements than it really ought to need.
Google Chrome is Bejeweled, because its simple aesthetics and uncomplicated design have drawn people to it, but beneath the surface is something just as sophisticated as everything else.
Opera is Civilization, because it has a moderately-sized group of dedicated followers, and has loads of options to adjust on the surface, but some users just can't get into something that deep.
Safari is Marathon, because it does try so hard to be Firefox, and while it does have its devotees, the Firefox users tend to notice that something's not quite right about how it's put together.
Lynx is ADOM, because who needs graphics and mouse support to surf the net?
Konqueror is SuperTux, because nobody really seems to know what it is except the Linux folk, and it's really not quite as well put together as the more mainstream stuff.
Internet Explorer is Solitaire, because it comes with Windows and the people who use it don't realize that there's anything better (or can't install new programs).
Netscape is Wolfenstein 3D, because while it might be internally about the same as Firefox, it's really showing its age and can't quite do the same stuff that its younger brother can do these days.
Iceweasel is Hell On Earth 2, because it couldn't be called Doom despite being pretty much the same damn thing.
Chromium is Diamond Mine, or pretty much the same thing as Chrome except named differently due to being released under different circumstances.
iCab is MacPipes, because it's generally nice to have on older machines, but doesn't really do anything complicated, and at the end of its life, was still sold as shareware.
Haiku isn't really anything, because try as I might, I can't think of any BeOS-specific games.
