There are currently several ways to enable homebrew on a console.
Prerequisits
- You require Firmware 3.55 or below, if you have higher than this, than you will need to look at Downgrading Firmware
- You cannot currently run homebrew on some of the later slim models, and none of the new CECH-30xx models.
Methods
Geohot Jailbreak
While outdated, this original jailbreak can still be used to jailbreak your console.
This is not a fully modified Firmware. It is simply a patch that allows you to run code.
It installs like any other CFW etc.
Custom Firmware
This involves installing a complete custom firmware, where the firmware has been modified to allow extra features
Dongle Jailbreak
Using an AVR/PIC or other active USB device with running specific code to exploit the USB descriptor (only works on 3.41 and older).
Linux
Just install Linux and run apps on it.
Since 1.60 up until 3.20: official supported as OtherOS.
Since firmware 3.21 up until 3.55: no longer official supported, but made possible with modified firmwares, see OtherOS++ and AsbestOS (http://marcansoft.com/blog/2010/10/asbestos-running-linux-as-gameos/).

Browser based
Homebrew: Java, Javascript based
Jailbreaking: Right now, there are no exploits for browser. It's pretty basic one too, kind of IE6 for PS3, even mobile pages sometimes won't be shown correctly (Example: http://m.deviantart.com)
