Many people think "browser" when they see "explorer" (and vice
versa), just as they did at one time when they saw "navigator".
But yes, it's no doubt true that "browser" is the more generally
recognized term now.
It seems that Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, at least, do not
refer to themselves as "browser" or anything else, beyond their
names. Clearly they didn't worry too much about finding a name
that suggests "browsing" to potential users.
