Can someone tell me which web browser is the best?

Question

Opera, firefox, or Internet Explorer. What are the pros and cons of each. thanks

Answer 1

I use all 3. I really do. My Main is Opera my back up is Firefox.

Best side of Opera: Safe, no pop-ups Fast. Speed dial. tech support. Easy interface. Torrent system installed.
Best of Firefox: ....... Add-ons? medium pop-up blocker, kinda safe. Easy interface.
Best of IE: Small. Less resorces. fast load times.

Worst of Opera: lots of system resorces
Worst of Firefox: Lots of system recores. bad pop-up blocker
Worst of IE: Not as safe. No pop-up blocker. Little add-ons

My overal choice is Opera. Enjoy what ever one you choice.

Oh By the way. The Wii uses opera.

I wanted to add this: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/SupportCD/FirefoxMyths.html
It s a site with all true (And sourced) Details about Firefox, opera and IE.

Answer 2

I vote Firefox: faster, many say more secure, lots of add-ons (like, say, a weather-status bar i placed on the bottom right, or different appearances "themes" or "skins" to change the look of the browser, and lots of other tools)...and on and on...Firefox also evolves more quickly.

This is NOT to say, though, that Opera isn't nifty. Opera has lots of fans. It, too, is quick. Opera is a small "community". A few browser addons, and other independent "gadgets" for your desktop.

And of course, there's good ol' IE. Ya gotta have one lying around, even if you use Firefox or Opera. Microsoft updates to your system or to Office *cannot* be done, usually, without your using IE.

As a website developer, I have to keep copies of all three (more than one version of IE) and several others...note also that there's an open-source alternative to Firefox, a browser named IceWeasel

Answer 3

I believe that by far Firefox or Opera are the best. They are fastest and Internet Explorer is just slow and I've had experience with it closing just because of a error. I'm sorry I can't tell you specific features. They all have tabed browsing and I know Firefox has a google window on the toolbar which makes things easier.

Answer 4

The "best" depends on your preferences. Opera is great at some things: smallest file size, least system resources, and still has everything you need and more.

Firefox is probably what most people would say is the "best" because it has every feature anyone could ever want, and if that feature isn't there, suggest it and someone will add it. There are hundreds of add-ons for everything you need, and it rarely freezes or crashes like IE.

IE is.... well, in my opinion it stinks... but in all honesty, it has improved slightly with the newest version, IE 7.0. But it still crashes more than any other browser I use. However the good thing is it's compatible with nearly everything.

Answer 5

People always run down Internet Explorer, I use it daily, sometime upto 4-6 hrs a day without any problems at all, I tried Firefox and Opera, I somehow just dont like them much, but its a personal preference.

Answer 6

nicely I dont understand why you're asking those questions despite if it is many times the document extension that tells the browser and different apps that the document is a internet/html document. as quickly because it nicely-knownshows the extension it then is going in and exams the tags to be constructive despite if the document is in a position for use or no longer. (It doesnt basically use the tags as a results of fact if it did then html records could have many hundreds of diverse extensions) Are those questions an component to a school project or what? in the event that they're you recognize it is uncomplicated sufficient to purely do a seek on wiki or between the various different web pages and that they provides you with each and every of the records youi want

Answer 7

Firefox defiantly. Pro's are its faster at loading up - IE takes ages. Its safer - haven't had a virus in years. And when you get AdBlock Plus (see sources) you get no adverts on the webpages.

Answer 8

I think/belive Firefox is safer then IE.
I only use IE when i'm going to Windows Update.
