I've collected some of the most famous Bitcoin block explorers including a column for supported features like displaying native SegWit bech32-addresses or giving the possibility to identify an outgoing transaction from nested SegWit P2SH addresses. Finally, I've rated them from my side how useful each block explorer is. The better the rating, the more detailed the explorer is.

*After evaluating our table layout, we have analyzed a few changes and after doing a survey, we have agreed to implement these changes.
You'll still find our old table layout here.
**BTC addresses starting with "3" what are they ? simplified explanation.
***You can hover your mouse over each score and a sign will pop up, where you'll see some comments brought up by members suggesting each Block explorer. Hover format for comments was suggested by SFR10 here.
****Some elements are not showing or working properly, but mostly works fine.
PrivacyG has made a list of all Block Explorers above working without Java Script. You can find PrivacyG contribution here to find out more about it.
