What is a browser and how to choose one

A browser is software that accesses and displays pages and files on the web. Browsers require a connection to the Internet.

 Your options are:

Internet Explorer
The numbers vary, but it seems IE has around 50% of the browser market. What are the reasons to choose Internet Explorer?
IE now offers some ways to customize your browser. The new IE8 is faster and safer than ever.


Firefox
Firefox is the second most popular browser, mainly because it’s safe, fast and easy to use. It is the most customizable browser, which is a bonus for every individualist online.
Lately we have noticed that Firefox tend to take up a lot of CPU resources, especially on the Mac. It may actually slow down the computer significantly if you open several tabs at once.

Safari
Safari is an Apple product, but comes in versions for both PC and Mac. It is a very fast browser, which is easy to use and looks good. Cover Flow offers a visual way of reviewing your site history and bookmarked sites, presenting full-page previews of the websites that look exactly as they did when you last visited them.


Google Chrome
Chrome is a new browser and it is not yet available for the Mac.
Chrome is made by Google and shares the uncluttered, minimalistic design of many Google products. Yet it has some powerful and innovative features like powerful tab navigation: Pull a tab out into its own window and pop a tab into another window by clicking and dragging the tab out to the top of the new window. And it’s fast.
Chrome is also very stable. If one tab or window crashes, it will not take down the whole browser.


Opera
Opera, the smallest of the “large” browsers is developed in Pandia’s home country Norway. It has always been an innovative browser packed with features.
The latest version introduces tools for in-browser sharing of photos, music and other files. It also has a way to compress Web pages, boosting your browsing speed on crowded Wi-Fi hotspots, mobile phones or dial-up connections.
Power users will appreciate the possibility of using keyboard shortcuts and mouse gestures to speed up browsing.
