What Is A Browser?

A browser is a program that enables you to view the Web on the Internet. If you need to view a site like the one you're at now then you are using a browser (which is not to be confused with the "search engine" your using with your browser such as Yahoo, ask jeeves, Bing or Google's search engine. You can use any search engine you like with any browser.... You may not even know which browser you're using! It will probably be "Internet Explorer" which is that little blue "e" icon on your desk top or/and in the quick launch bar. This particular browser is the most common browser used because many people think there are no other! But there is! and much better ones!.


Test drive each browser and observe it's performance, features and styles and compare them to others.

Browsers are like vehicles. You want to travel fast, with lots of cool features, security and in style, just like President Obama (Right image)

There are many browsers available on the market which are free and will help make life easier while your using the Internet! and when it comes to browsers, variety IS the spice of life especially having an arsenal of browsers installed on your PC! - You will find below (including links) all the browsers currently on the market, but I will talk only about the top three!


I have used almost every browser available, but have settled on 7 that include the top 3. Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer. Because no matter how good your vehicle is, another one will have some features, styles, add-ons, etc, that are better!-- I could have written thousands of words here to describe all the differences among browsers, as well as the pros and cons, but it would be pointless because browser versions and updates are so regular, with newer features, tools and gimmicks added all the time. My advice is: Take them for a spin and see how they handle during your usual Internet activities! Observe the differences in speed and the tools you regularly use, and If you like, keep it! if not, you can either un-install it or keep it for a rainy day just in case you have problems with your existing browser!: Just editing this page and my blogs with various browsers all performed differently! even scrolling the pages! I cannot and do not juse just one browser. because I know which ones has the features I need to do the job as efficiently and as quickly as possible!


You can use as many browsers simultaneously as you like without any conflict. If you decide to use other browsers, I would not recommend you un-install Internet Explorer from your PC! It is an integral part of your computer and it's best to keep it!


How To Make a Browser Faster! Disable programs running which are not needed. Use Perfect Un-installer to remove unwanted applications that windows or you cannot remove! Reduce your browser Plug Ins, Spy-ware and Ad-ware.- Disable images within the browser settings especially if your only using it for script based searches. Turn off flash, Java, images etc! Turn off sound! Close tool bars when not in use! Clear your Internet cache files regularly. Or, Instead of turning off each individual features from your favorite browser, try selecting another browser (Full browser list below), Great for just script based searches. This will enable faster page load giving you more time to research and switch to your existing browser when you need to view certain things on-line. - Depending where I'm going (browsing-surfing) will depend on the vehicle (browser) that will be the best for that particular journey! Even just changing your browser can give you better performances!


What Is The Best Browser For a Mac: Camino, Firefox, Flock, OmniWeb and Opera all perform well on Mac Machines but overall, the best browser for Mac users is Safari. This is due to its seamless integration with iCal (Calendar) and address book. It offers the truly handy feature of date and address recognition so that information sent to you in an email can be used to generate events directly into your calendar. It's very handy and well thought out. The web history is elegantly shown using the cover flow style (like itunes on the iphone). This is particularly helpful when you can remember what a web page looked like but can't remember its URL. Again, its all about user preference. I would say try them all and see which you prefer! The best excuse is, they are all free. links below!


Here's my 'quick' review - The Top 3 - Firefox Vs Internet Explorer Vs Opera.

Which Browser Is Best: Firefox , Internet Explorer or Opera ?

Internet Explorer 8

3rd place Internet Explorer.

Internet Explorer 8 was a major improvement..It has a new navigation bar and is a much better design. it has the tabbed browsing, the addition of the Zoom function at the bottom of each page to instantly zoom in and out of the current page is very useful. The "find next" tool is still weak. Yet it still has an impressive range of plug-ins. I.E 8 is a great improvement for security and new features compared to it's predisessor I.E.7, and a very good browser which should never be underestimated.


Supports: Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) Windows XP Professional x64 Edition Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1) - vista compatible.

Mozilla FireFox

Winner in 1st Place Firefox

The new Firefox 3.5 has a tabbed interface: pop-up blocker/built-in multiple search tools: and built-in RSS reader, it handles nice and is always stable. The spellcheck for text boxes uses the familiar dotted colored lines under words . although the others has this feature. If you need an Extension for something, the Firefox extension capabilities are powerful, and easy to use. It's also offers many theme's. I have been using Firefox since day one and compared to the other's, it is in a class by itself although Opera does come extremely close...


Firefox, as well as all other browsers, can be downloaded, installed and run in conjunction with any existing browsers you have. Note: Firefox does not currently support ActiveX.

Supports all Windows 98 to XP & Vista: Mac OS X and several varieties of Linux and Red Hat Linux 8.0.
