Browser Wars
If you’re reading this post right now, then you’re probably familiar with the World Wide Web. The internet is a seemingly endless pool of knowledge waiting to be accessed by the public. In order to obtain this knowledge, we computer users rely on web-surfing software, web browsers.
There a many different web browsers, each with its own ups and downs. Unfortunately, it wouldn’t be very practical to list every browser, so I chose to select only the widely used browsers.
Internet Explorer- Internet Explorer is the most known and used of all the browsers. This is because it’s the best, right? Wrong. IE is the browser that is already installed on all PC computers. I attribute the fact that Explorer remains a common browser still to an overall excess in apathy. To most avid Internet users, like myself, IE is best used to download other, better browsers.
Mozilla Firefox- A good web browser should focus strongly on its layout, and this is what makes Firefox one of the more commonly downloaded web browsers. Mozilla clearly put effort into providing convenient features for its users, knowing that people need to go out of their way to get it.
Google Chrome- Another great alternative to IE. It’s particularly useful to people who don’t mind the following: Being tracked by large corporations, having their information stolen by large corporations, or being constantly pestered by Google’s so-called “Apps”. Honestly, if it wasn’t for the “Apps” I wouldn’t have a problem with Chrome.
Opera- Unless you live in a U.S.S.R. satellite nation, you probably do not know what this is. Just stick to the American browsers.
Safari-Much like IE, Safari is fantastic for its ability to let users download other browsers… like Firefox.
