which is best browser ? internet explorer, google chrome or mozilla firefox?

It really depends on what you are looking for in a browser. Internet Explorer has been around for ages, and has the full support of Microsoft behind it. It’s got over 70% of the market share and as a result is recognisable to almost everybody. It is sleek and powerful, but on old(ish) computers that may slow you down a bit. Still, as the standard browser, you won’t find many other negatives with it.

Mozilla FireFox is a highly customizable browser. It has the advantage of being the one of only browsers that is compatible wiht all operating systems. New themes and gadgets are released every week, and this gives a personal feel to it when viewing websites. Although it slows the computer down, it isn’t as bad as IE, though on a fast computer, you won’t notice much of a difference between the two.

FireFox 3.0.3: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all…

Other options available are Opera Browser. This browser offers very limited customization features (only a colour change in fact), but because of this gives very fast browsing. It was mainly developed for low memory computers, and is more of an “Internet Suite” than just a browser. It provides users with the tools and technology to perform a wide variety of internet related tasks like viewing web pages, searching the Internet, sending and receiving emails, conducting online chats, and even displaying the latest Widgets. It doesn’t require as many resources as IE or FF, but it isn’t very fun to browse in something that looks as out-of-date as it does.

Opera 9.62: http://www.opera.com/download/

The final major browser is Apple Safari. In my opinion it is the fastest of the 4 browser and my personal favourite. Its style is based on the iTunes layout and it doesn’t offer any customizability, but if you like iTunes, you’ll love this browser. Its major downfall is the fact that it doesn’t render (load) webpages very well. This can become very irritating while browsing so most people don’t give it a second thought. It has many of the same features as Internet Explorer and Firefox, including: QuickTime multimedia technology, a tabbed-browsing interface system, and internet searching tools. It does run very fast (even on slow computers) and has the fastest startup time of all browsers. If you find that the pages you usually visit work fine on Safari, you won’t have anything bad to say about it.

Safari 3.1.2: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/s…

A new introduction to the Browser market is Google Chrome, Google’s first attempt at an internet browser. It is currently in a beta version, but it seems to be one of the fastest browsers out there. But, as it is still in beta, there are many stability and security problems with it. I would recommend against using it as your primary browser, for the moment at least, until the final release comes out.

Google Chrome 0.3.154.9 Beta: http://www.google.com/chrome/index.html?…

So it really depends on what kind of person you are and what type of computer you have. You can’t go wrong with IE or FF, but under stress, they perform slowly, Opera is a boring looking browser but can run where the other two can’t, Safari has problems with rendering many webpages and there are far too many security risks with Chrome, but is much the fastest of them all. I personally use all five of them (but IE and Safari are my main two). If Apple ever get the rendering process sorted, it would be my number 1 choice.

Hope that helps.

I like Google Crome.

Google Chrome is a web browser developed by Google and based on the WebKit layout engine and application framework. In February 29, it had a share of 1.15% of the web browser market. It was first released as a beta version for Microsoft Windows on September 2, 28, and the public stable release was on December 11, 28. The name is derived from the graphical user interface frame, or “chrome”, of web browsers.

Chromium is the open source project behind Google Chrome. The Google-authored portion of it is released under the BSD license, with other parts being subject to a variety of different permissive open-source licenses, including the MIT License, the LGPL, the Ms-PL and a MPL/GPL/LGPL tri-license. It implements the same feature set as Chrome, but has a slightly different logo.

Mozilla firefox speeds up my pc tremendously. It protects me while surfing. if I am working on a page and need to research I can either open a tab or start a whole nother page without wrecking the freight train. It stops scrips and has some nice add on’s like ad blocker and that allows for really fast googling. So far mozilla is killa. Try it and find out for yourself amigo.

In my opinion Firefox is the best overall although i use Chrome a lot atm as it opens quickly. Opera is also fairly good for this and can be customization like Firefox.

Avoid Internet explorer and Safari full stop.

Go for Google chrome if you love speed,

for ease of use (for Microsoft Windows addicts) go for IE8,

if you want all of the above go for Mozilla Firefox(its a great browser)!

Since I am using Mozilla Firefox; I say Firefox.

G’day Singh,

Thank you for your question.

Firefox or Chrome. I now use Firefox because it has more plugins than Chrome and much better than Explorer. Chrome has some very good features including integrated search, greater stability and incognito browsing. Explorer is the least secure and worst performer of the three.

Regards

Definitely Mozilla Firefox!!!!!!!!

I’d say Firefox, as it is about the most well rounded in terms of security (not many harmful things get through, unlike IE which has very little security against some of the more harmful threats) speed, and universability. It’s the popular choice, because it’s good, so people are creating websites with it in mind. Plus, with all the addons, there’s nearly infinite possibilities to get it just the way you want it.

Google Chrome is alright too, though, just not as universal I’d say.

As for IE.. just don’t use it.

I prefer Firefox. There was a link going around saying the IE was infected with a horrible virus going through its system. Google Chrome is still new so i’d give it a few years so it could get all the bugs out of its system. I love Firefox. I’ve been using it for a while. No problems.
