best browsers
mozilla firefox
BEST SECURITY, elegant features, BEST CUSTOMIZATION (through addons)
best browser, the reasons
free, incredibly easy to download & set up
elegant page tabbing (you hold down control when hitting a link, to open a new tabbed page), best browsers:
firefox easily imports i explorer bookmarks,
best browsers, more reasons
firefox browser is easy to use, easy to update, few bugs
FIREFOX PLUGINS - helps you block ads, javascript, edit cookies, or to do whatever your heart desires
firefox has TONS of spectacular addons - plugins. you can CUSTOMIZE FF, more than other browers
NOTE: SOME OF THESE PLUGINS CAUSE BROWSER INSTABILITY. Check your FF Addons, when trying to troubleshoot
firefox problems
EXCELLENT help files, including info for i explorer users
best browsers
MOST firefox dropdown menu controls & settings are more intuitive to locate & set, than in i explorer
firefox addons i couldn't live without-
AdBlock plus - extraordinary, if you know how to use it. (and simply GREAT, if you don't)
Flashblock - which blocks all flash animations.
Cookie Editor
best browsers quirks
MAJOR IRRITATION. the Dread FireFox POSTDATA alert - "To display this page, Firefox must send information
that will repeat any action-"
ff mozilla refuses to allow users to suppress this alert, and i spend at least 30-plus minutes out of my day,
encountering repeated firefox POSTDATA alert warnings and clicking OKAY (or Allow)
i explorer doesn't do this. safari doesn't do this. opera and netscape don't do this. google chrome doesn't do this.
there's a rumored fix that requires heavy hacking. NOT an elegant answer to a bug MANY users have
complained about
pages designed for i explorer - may look terrible in firefox,
increased firefox popularity is making it more attractive to hackers,
difficult to view source code, unlike in i explorer and opera. text appears "frozen", and requires
horizontal scrolling
i explorer users need to learn a new vocabulary
i explorer = temporary internet files, firefox = cache
i explorer = favorites, firefox = bookmarks
i explorer = address bar, firefox = location bar
i explorer = refresh, in firefox = reload
i explorer = save target as , firefox = save link as
opera
best browser
opera
elegant, fast, lean
best browsers, because it's NOT i explorer
best browsers reasons
many popups that require settings adjustments to block in i explorer and firefox, SIMPLY DO NOT SHOW IN OPERA
opera is FREE
easy-to-use panels, tile & cascade features
the About Opera menu choice shows the user all data paths for each portion of opera
opera browsers wand similar to other browser's Remember Password, but easier to use
browsers quirks
NO AUTOCOMPLETE - highly irritating
opera will suggest url addresses based earlier browsing, BUT all search engine queries must be re-input over and
over. HASSLE.
in order to get MULTIPLE WINDOWS in OPERA BROWSER, you must UNCHECK "OPEN PAGES IN TABS" (TOOLS - PREFERANCES -
GENERAL). "tabs" means something strange in the opera browser; as far as i can tell, THE OPERA BROWSERS DON'T HAVE
TABS...
(the opera browsers seeming FAST is a bit of an illusion- they cache more fiercely than other browsers. i know that
because, when i'm editing webpages, all my other browsers need is a EMPTY CACHE and PAGE RELOAD. opera
needs more finessing.)
safari
best browsers
safari browsers for the pc
i've only just started using mine
love the glossy look and speed
HATE the way apple keeps trying to force me to accidentally download i-tunes and quick-time
a minor but irritating complaint, about the way saf auto-completes URLs. it's insistent that it's guessed
correctly, and requires extra mouse-work to delete the added URL portion
ALSO - the user has very little customization control over safari
google chrome
best browsers
i have no idea
reportedly a nifty browser
less vulnerable to security risks, due to "sandboxing"
BUT
privacy issues
(why do users get assigned a unique id for a simple search? i understand goo's interest in collecting
enourmous amounts of data on everything and everyone- i'm just not sure i trust them)
best browsers - not!
i explorer
NOT the best browser
because 1)it's
enormous popularity attracts black hats, who can do
the Most Damage exploiting it's vulnerabilities,
and 2) because it HAS so
many vulnerabilities -which ms is slow to fix
best browsers? - NOPE
the browsers avant and maxthon are both SHELLS or FRONTENDS for i explorer - they are most likely prone to the same security issues and problems.
