Battle of the Browsers
With the new FireFox 3 browser coming close to completion, benchmark after benchmark is being run on nearly all the popular browsers to see how they stack up. Cybernet News writes about how the daily build of the new FireFox 3 browser renders java more quickly than all of the other major browsers.
So the verdict? Well, I personally install FireFox on all my computers at home and in my office because I like the customization options available that aren’t available with any of the other major browsers, but there are more than just FireFox and Internet Explorer available.
Apple’s Safari is a very fast and minimalistic browser. The con about Safari is that there is no customization available.
I really can’t think about any pros on Internet Explorer except the fact that you don’t have to download or install anything. It comes preinstalled on all new computers running Windows.
Opera was the original tabbed web browser. Unfortunately I have not used it in a few years (not since I adopted FireFox), so there’s not a whole lot I can really explain about it. I know it is customizable and offers most of the benefits users demand from their web browser.
Finally, my current favorite: FireFox is currently stable in it’s 2.0.12 release. This browser is very customizible. It is also very easy to use.
Take a look at the major players, and choose for yourself. Everyone has different preferences. Use the browser that best fits you.
