The web browser war has heated up as Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and Google Chrome fight to become the dominant default browser for computer users. Microsoft flexes its considerable market muscle with Explorer, but has had strong contention from the other two giants. Firefox has made a strong showing with many users for its excellent security features and search speed, but Google is also making a splash with its mutiple features and speed as well. Choosing which one you will use depends heavily on how you use the internet.
For the average user, Explorer is generally the norm and if found already installed on almost every computer on the market. It is an all around basic, good browser for general surfing and email, but can be an issue with some websites. It also is not the most secure browser to use at times, but does offer a number of good features. Mozilla Firefox is coming to be preferred by many for its security and speed. It can easily be downloaded from online for free, and is updated automatically by the server. It is better for those working at a school or other business where security needs to be a bit tighter.
For those who are active and social on the web, Google Chrome is an excellent choice. You can have instant access to blogging, and Google recently released the ability to make phone calls over the internet. It was an instant hit the first week it ran. Researchers may also prefer Google Chrome, as it offers numerous ways to organize hits into more digestable chunks, such as creating a timeline of events. This can be adventageous when dealing with a broad topic.
Each one has benefits and advantages that the user should weigh before making a final decision. You can also choose to take advantage of all three, depending on what you are doing online.
