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

I have seen many people saying don't use IE, use Firefox, its better. On the other hand some people 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 Google Chrome....

Now what to do? 2 people, 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.

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

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

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

Tried Safari for Windows - amazing ! 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

Thank you for all your excellent posts and tutorials - have spent last 2 hours cruising thru your site. Thank you for sharing your computer knowledge with the rest of us!

Opera is my favorite browser. Is fast, stable, secure and customizable.

Hi vishal,
nice review of most of the popular browsers but unfortunately you are missing something really very very good...

WebKit - Nightly - the open source browser transformation pack for Apple Safari.

just try it its awesome...

even far better than all other browsers
Its the only browser which scores 100/100 score in the Acid3 Test, where Opera - 85, Firefox - 56, Safari - 68 and IE 17 out of 100

for more details visit the article about IE8, on my blog

Webkit Nightly can be downloaded from
