There are many programs for viewing web pages, that is, browsers. Burnt users who managed to work with most of them, of course, have long decided which browser is better. In this case, “better” should be understood as “better for each of them”. Because if you turn to them with such a question, everyone will categorically name a specific browser, and with foam at the mouth will prove that he is the best. Moreover, each computer genius will call, of course, different browsers. Try to figure out the inexperienced user!
In general, the browser today is one of the fundamental programs without which neither digital professionals nor the weakest users can conceive of life. Without the Internet today, it is simply impossible to live or work. This is the surest way to get information. Absolutely any. And from a wide variety of sources. Moreover, this is the fastest way - it takes literally several minutes to “extract” information. Today, no library can compete with the Internet.
So, conclusion number one - there are many browsers and each of them is good in its own way . Everyone decides which browser is best for him. The choice, as a rule, is made on the basis of personal preferences and features of using programs.
The most popular browsers are Internet Explorer, Opera Safari, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.
Among Internet users, a survey was conducted on the topic "Which browser is better to use." The popularity of browsers according to its results is as follows.
- Internet Explorer - 41.56%
- Fire Fox - 28.71%
- Chrome - 11.75%
- Safari - 9.26%
- Others - 4.47%
- Opera - 4.25%
Most readers who already use some kind of browser will immediately begin to resent: Well, how so? Is Opera worse than a safari? No! I like her more! I agree. Again, we draw attention to the subjective nature of these estimates. Choose you. We will try to give an objective description of each program so that we can understand the differences between them and make our own choices.
Remark for clarification
The popularity rating does not really show which Internet browser is better, but what programs people use. At the same time, most people call the program used “the best,” because they simply do not know about others and they have nothing to compare with.
As for the Internet Explorer, this browser is objectively almost the worst. Its popularity during the survey is due to the fact that it is installed together with Windows. Many do not even know that there are more convenient programs and use Explorer by default.
By the speed of loading and opening the start page, browsers can be ranked as follows:
- 14.0 Fire fox
- 10.6 Safari
- 8.5 IE
- 8.1 Chrome
- 7.1 Opera
By the speed of page changes, the order changes slightly:
- 7.8 Safari
- 7.4 IE
- 7.3 Opera
- 7.0 Chrome
- 6.4 fire fox
One of the main parameters that you pay attention to when choosing a browser is functionality . Which browser is better in this case?
The clear leader in this regard is Firefox. And the weakest link is Internet Explorer, in which no plugins, extensions, etc. are implemented.
Prior to version 11, Opera was also very weak in this regard, which did not support extensions. Now these defects are corrected by the developers.
By the security criterion (that is, by software flaws that can make data from your computer accessible to other users), browsers are ranked (to reduce the degree of reliability from greater to lesser) like this:
- Opera
- Firefox
- Internet explorer
- rest
Opera's security is due to its relatively low degree of use. While the giants Internet Explorer and FireFox are often attacked by evil computer geniuses.
Now we can draw some more or less objective conclusions. It’s still difficult to say which browser is better. Perhaps the most optimal solution for those who have not yet decided on the choice of browser is Opera - fast, convenient and fairly reliable. Give it a try. If you do not like it, there are still many options.
