Which is the Best Web Browser Ever: IE, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari, Maxthon?




I have seen many ppl saying don’t use IE, use Firefox, its better. On the other hand some ppl say, don’t use Firefox, use Opera, its the fastest browser on earth. Also some say, use Safari, new browser from Apple, its the best. Some say use Maxthon….

Now what to do? 2 ppl, 2 opinions. So today I decided to post this article featuring few good web browsers available on net. So you can give them a try and can find yourself which one is good.

1. Internet Explorer:

Internet Explorer 7 provides improved navigation through tabbed browsing, web search right from the toolbar, advanced printing, easy discovery, reading and subscription to RSS feeds, and much more.

2. Mozilla Firefox:

The award-winning Web browser is now faster, more secure, and fully customizable to your online life. With Firefox 2, there are powerful new features that make your online experience even better.

3. Opera:

Safe, secure, powerful and fully customizable, the Opera Web browser is faster and more secure than other browsers available on the market. Opera delivers robust security and a far-richer feature set than any other Web browser and it’s free.

4. Safari:

The fastest web browser today, Safari loads and draws pages up to 3 times faster than Firefox 2 and up to 5.5 times faster than Opera 9. And it executes JavaScript up to 2.7 times faster than Firefox 2 and up to 2.6 times faster than Opera 9.1. What does all that mean for you? Less time loading pages and more time enjoying them.

  11. I was searching for a new web browser when this came up, because im tired of ff and safari, i want something new. i dont know what new one to choose! either opera or maxthon, im not sher. HELP ME! :eek:

  12. Opera, Firefox both are good. You can give Opera a try. Maxthon is based on IE.

  13. U can give Flock a Try …. :smile:

  14. yeah, i already tried opera yesterday, didn’t like it at ALL, and then i tried something called avant, made by IE, i didn’t know that until i started using it, IE dousn’t work on my computer at all. it just says to keep updating java and all that crap and i do and it still dousn’t work. is maxthon a IE based browser? if so, do you know any other good browsers?

  15. ok never mind on the maxthon thing, i didn’t read your other post.

  16. I use Opera since 8 years ago. It’s great :!: :!: :!:

  17. AOL EXPLORER IS NICE TOO :wink:

    SAFARI IS TRULY THE FASTER :eek:

    IE IS THE MORE COMPATIBLE WITH ALL SITES :smile:

  18. opera is the best in all ways

  19. Hey, I got a new browser when i was searching, something called Wyzo, its pretty cool. Its just FF based but it has a sleek orange cool look to it that makes it a nice browser. But it doesn’t have add-ons yet, but the creaters are making em. Try it! its www.wyzo.com :grin: :lol: :grin: :lol: :grin:

  20. ^^ Looking cool but seems like Firefox with orange theme and 2 add-ons. ;)

  21. i think safari is cool, while ie7 is good for first time users. opera is a bit old, the same as mozillahttp://www.askvg.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif

  22. Been using Opera since ver 4.x . It simply rocks and is the best - trust me. Safari may ‘claim’ to be faster, but I am not taking any of Steve Jobs’ nonsense. If so why so many Mac users use firefox or other alternatives

  23. I prefer flashpeak Slim browser which is integrated to IE but very faster than Safari FF and opera. Coz i have all 3 installed :grin:

  24. Tried Safari for Windows - amazing ! :eek: Had IE7 since it first came along, went back to IE6, firefox (never worked properly w/ comcast?), and eventually back to IE7 after some kinks were removed. Last few months IE has gotten sluggish.

    Safari loads most pages in less than one second. Browsers seem to be like a pair of shoes - whatever fits & feels good to you
