There are several types of web browsers out there today. You may know them, there is Microsoft internet explorer but they have changed that to Microsoft edge. There is the google chrome browser and the one that seems to be everyone’s favorite is the Firefox browser. I have used all of them and they are good for some things but not good on other things. They all have differences in speed and ease of use. Using the right browser could save you time and frustration.

So how do they compare to each other

They all largely look and act the same. They all open multiple tabs or separate windows, let you bookmark pages, have favorites. Microsoft Internet Explorer has a history of being hacked by bad guys, both because of its immense popularity and its ActiveX technology. Internet Explorer is no longer something I advise users to use. But Firefox is a longtime worthy IE (Internet Explorer) competitor, and Chrome’s a strong newcomer.

A lot of people use Google’s Chrome browser, because lots of people use Google’s search engine. Chrome is fast and generally reliable. It was my go-to for a couple of years. It was revealed that there was some issues for playing the video and audio portion of some popup windows without actually showing the popup. This is an interaction with Adobe’s Flash player that also currently affects Firefox. Another issue with Chrome, as well as Internet Explorer, is that it spawns a number of processes, making it harder to shut down when things go bad. Even with some minor issues, Chrome is still a top browser option because of its stability and speed.

Even though Firefox is the long-time competitor to Internet Explorer that stole users off a Microsoft browser monopoly for years until Chrome showed up to “help.” It’s fast and very reliable. Despite some memory leak that forced the occasional restart, it was the browser I recommended for many users to avoid the malware attacks that plagued Internet Explorer. Firefox has recently received an upgrade that was enough to rile a few longtime users. I prefer the new look and find it the easiest of all the browsers for bookmarking and changing options. Firefox also has an array of add-ons, including one of the best video down loaders out there. The aptly-named Download Helper. Firefox has always been a fast internet browser, and now it's even faster. It beats most of the competition in terms of speed, and we had no problems loading Firefox or quickly navigating from page to page. Firefox provides a fluid web browsing experience from start to finish and boasts compatibility across the web. Furthermore, Firefox is fully equipped to accommodate multi-touch gestures. Firefox is well organized and makes the navigation easier

Internet Explorer remains extremely popular and useful—if for nothing else that downloading your browser of choice with a fresh install of Windows. It’s decently fast with HTML, exceptionally fast with JavaScript, and renders pages reliably. Because of its ActiveX technology, Internet Explorer is sometimes easier to use with business-related sites such as WebEx and HTML. With other browsers you must sometimes download and install an extension or background app. Internet Explorer may not be the fastest browser, but it does not skimp on its feature set. Bookmarks and tabbed browsing are the focus. When you open a new window, you see icons of your most visited sites based on your browsing history. This software works great with PC touchscreens and tablets with Windows 8. Internet Explorer also provides a variety of add-ons for a fully customized browsing experience. Internet Explorer has upgraded its security measures to fight a constant onslaught of malware. Internet Explorer provides a very user-friendly interface. It may never be the top web browser again, but the updates make it worth revisiting.

Conclusion

Everyone has their favorite browser. There is no one who can really tell you which is the best because they all have their upside and downside to everything. It is really up to you which one you think is best web browser for windows or which one is the safest web browser to use. I use all of them is all depends on what I am watching or what I am doing on-line. They are all great browsers and all are very useful for all things on the internet.
