The default browser is, as far as I can make out, simply called 'Browser', and is based on the WebKit WebKit rendering engine. Android 2.2 and above use the V8 V8 javascript engine. The combination of WebKit and V8 makemakes the browser very similar to desktop Chrome.

There's a similar question here: Which is the Android's default browser?.
