Ok, so for the people who have no idea what a web browser is. It’s the software that allows you to view the Internet, this page for example. You double click to open it when you go on the Internet. Now, for people who use the Internet as much as me, and people who do websites, also like me, there are a few different browsers to choose from. When making websites, you also have to make sure websites are compatible with the top browsers, which means, I have for too many browsers. So because I’m bored, I’m going to ramble on about web browsers, for no apparent reason, other than to get over this extreme boredom. Microsoft Internet Explorer The browser that most probably came with the computer you are using, that is, if you have any version of Windows. If you didn’t change the browser, you’ll be using this one. Two versions exist that are most used. Version 6, and Version 7. I personally use Version 7 for all of my browsing needs. Mozilla Firefox Is the biggest competitor to Internet Explorer, and seems to be everywhere now. I used this for a long time, however, the constant memory dumps gave me the shits, so I no longer use it. Opera Not many people know of this one, but it’s a big player. Version 10 Alpha is used on my PC a lot, and I like it, a lot. Chrome Google do everything already. But they needed a browser. I haven’t used it much, but it looks like… a browser. Netscape Long live Netscape. It was the biggest, it was the best, and everyone had it. That was, until Microsoft decided that Windows just wouldn’t be real without Internet Explorer. AOL took over, and in AOL style, the company gave up trying. Safari Even Apple get’s in on the Action on a Windows based PC. From what I’ve heard, a very reliable browser.
