Why every web browser interpret the web page different. Is it some standard for interpreting HTML, CSS or JavaScript or that depends of company witch development the web browser.
The browser is what interprets the html. The browser engineers do have a standard to go by, but in the end, they choose how their browser will interpret and display the html, css, etc, and how it will function.
There is a standard specification set by the World Wide Web Consortium. Most browsers follow it pretty well. Firefox, Opera, et. al. follow it pretty much to the letter but Internet Explorer does not in some cases.
actually yes it depends upon the interpretation of CSS and in turn, many tags.
This article provides some more insight on the matter.

I have been looking about the pros and cons of browsers specifically for security property. Please share if you know which browser is more secure than others and why it is so.
Each browser have different security features, vulnerability, maybe even NSA backdoors for some of them, at some point in time but... http://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/view/33645/there-is-no-single-most-secure-browser/
You might want to look here for additional insight : http://slashdot.org/story/13/06/23/0317243/ask-slashdot-most-secure-browser-in-an-age-of-surveillance
There is not web browser that is more secure than other in big margin, reason being is that most todays browsers use at most same standard. For example, usage of javascripts is allowed or disabled by default, tracking and sharing, your ip... Beacause this question does not have proper answer, here is example how to make web browser secure as much as possible if needed:
In this example I will use Mozilla Firefox.
First step is disabling javascripts in web browser (manually or by implementing some plugin to do that, for example "NoScript")
Disabling javascripts will disable viewing web pages properly or using them beacause almost any website today use javascripts. But we talk now about security.
Second step should be disabling tracking and sharing again, manually or by some plugin.
Third should be usage of some proxy server to hide your ip.
There is to many different things that could be done, also note again, javascripts, that are required for proper displaying page content and proper interaction with them on almost all modern websites, but can be big security hole, for example, session hijacking, forcing browser to get your geolocation and to many other things...
My reccomendation is to see first exactly, what you would like to protect, and then search on google how to do that.

Sorry i am unable to provide you a fiddle or the url of my working system. I wanted a comprehensive explanation why my system is not compatible(at some functions like caret positioning) with firefox and compatible with the other three? What's inside those system? Is it because the three browsers are webkit-based?
This is a general question. Im not asking how to fix my system to be cross-browser compatible. I wanted to understand why such thing happen, dipper.
Nowadays most cross browser differences is because you are using non-standard functions that are added by one browser vendor, so it's not supported by other browsers. The W3C organisation defines some standards for the web, and that's what browsers try to follow.
Older versions of browsers were not as good at following standards, which is most noticable with older versions of Internet Explorer, especially as they tend to be upgraded less frequently than browsers that people choose to install themselves.

I went to a web page and it would not load. The browsers, Chrome and Firefox both said “Waiting…” and never gave an error or page can’t load, just continually said “Waiting…” In fact, in Chrome it was like that for over thirty minutes and never did load. I could load other websites with no problem; I thought there was something wrong with the website on the server.
Unfortunately I did not think to try it in IE at that time.
My Firefox browser’s cache I had been cleaning frequently, almost daily (localhost developing, nothing major). So when I posted the original question; a very bright, unselfish and polite Stackoverflow member suggested I clean my cache (remove the cookies, etc..) I did. And the page loaded. Same with Chrome. After all that, I did try it in IE and it loaded.
The web page was a simple one page with one image 950x648 pixels.
Why would that happen? I want to rule out the server side, but I had never experienced that before. (At least I don’t think so…) Could it be my internet connection, my router? My computer? Some settings? I'm leaning towards my computer, but where do I start to diagnosis this, if it is.
Is this the right section of the site to ask this question? Is there another site I should consider to ask this question?
UPDATE
Given the excellent resources listed below, I am ruling out the website and server. I will focus on the browsers and watch for this anomaly to repeat. Any thoughts, or course of action, would be greatly appreciated. Thx.
Perhaps try this site:
http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/
It loads perfectly for me, must be your browser/network setup. Try opening Terminal (or Command Prompt) and executing ping eastsidepropertysolutions.com. If you get a reply then the connection from your network to the website is fine, most likely indicating a browser issue.

Well, the title pretty much states the question...
SSL secures the communications, it does not provide content access mechanisms.
As long as there is no password/authentication restricting access to the pages, there's no reason a search engine would be unable to index them.
Yes.
They may choose not to spider over HTTPS, or they may choose to rate lower those sites that are available only over HTTPS, or they may choose to do any number of things. But they can certainly spider the Web over HTTPS just as easily as your browser can view a single Web page over HTTPS.

How do we create a search plugin for Safari? Like this post
Here is a Safari plugin whereby you can customize it to search other sites. May work with Stack Overflow (I haven't tried it). Check out that site too for other Safari plugins.
I recently wrote Safari Omnibar which is a native extension for Safari that let's you add custom search keywords for searching directly on particular sites. You can also set the default search engine to any other site.
Safari Omnikey Homepage
Source Code
If you're looking for a search plugin specifically for this site, someone will have to write one.
AFAIK, Safari doesn't have a Search plugin capability. You could try Inquisitor; just add the URL https://stackoverflow.com/search?s=%#
