There are five main Internet browsers for accessing the Internet. These browsers are Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, and Apple Safari. All of them have one primary purpose, which is to enable users to surf the web, so whats the difference between them?

Which Web Browser Is The Best? The Differences In The 5 Major Web Browsers

The five most popular Internet browsers have numerous things in common. All five offer: no cost, start-up time less than five seconds, tabbed browsing, integrated search engine, smart toolbar, frequently visited web pages list, RSS feeds, automatic updates, password manager, find on page, pop-up blocker, anti-spyware, anti-virus, anti-phishing, clear history, on-line help, tutorials, user manuals, FAQs, user forum, and supports Windows XP and Vista.

The differences between the browsers are very few, but considering your needs should help you decide which one to use.

INTERNET EXPLORER

Internet Explorer offers a thumbnail preview where you can view a closed tab without opening it. It allows users to save a set of tabs to be opened when surfing is resumed. You can also customize your browser. IE offers the ability to synchronize information from the web between browsers, mobile devices, or documents. Parental controls allow parents to control their childrens Internet activities. IE also offers telephone and email support.

MOZILLA FIREFOX

Firefox offers saved tabs, customization, parental controls, and spell-check. Firefox is different from the others in that it offers Open Source Development, which means it was built and maintained by a network of users. Volunteers are encouraged to make the software better. This browser offers a Seamless Download Manager, which means there are no pop-ups when downloading. Firefox offers email support and is compatible with MAC, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Vista.

GOOGLE CHROME

Google Chrome was introduced fall of 2009. It offers thumbnail preview, synchronization, Open Source Development, and Seamless Download Manager. It is only compatible with Windows XP and Windows Vista. This browser offers no parental controls.

OPERA

Opera offers thumbnail preview, saved tabs, customization, synchronization, and spell check. Out of the five browsers, Opera offers extras the other does not. First, they offer Mouse Gestures, which is where the mouse movements represent commands. This is very similar to shortcut keys. Second, they offer Voice Interaction where a user can use a microphone and headphones and speak to the browser or the browser will read to the user. Opera also offers Seamless Download Manager. Opera has email support and is compatible with MAC, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Vista. This browser offers no parental controls.

APPLE SAFARI

Safari offers save tabs, customization, and spell check, and is compatible with MAC, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Vista. This browser offers no parental controls.

CONCLUSION

Internet browsers are your gateway to the Internet. In looking for a browser be certain to look for good security. You want a browser which will guard against pop-up windows, viruses, and phishing frauds. Most all browsers offer the same features, but its the little differences which will help you decide.
