HTML is not a programming language. There are no programs to run on computers as output. So the point about 'HTML runs in every browser' is not quite correct. Every browser is able to display HTML, because this is the main idea of a browser.
How can it be a programming language, if there is no program to be run, but just data displayed? You can very well load programs (written in JS and CSS) with the same browser, because it is linked in the HTML document (document! not program).
