BATTLE OF THE BROWSERS






Battle of the browsers, all of us know that there are a lot of browser out there that exist  in the cyber world, but you might want to ask what is the best browser that we should really use? I mean we have lot of them like firefox, chrome, IE, safari, opera and flock(which is dead by now) and plenty more. You might wonder which one is the best, and which one suck?


Well it really depends, there are lots of surfers out there with different needs, and style and perspective,it really vary but I guess web designers and web developers use them all, here are some pros and cons of the browser I used. This is from my personal experience and little research.(So if you would add some features and things that I did not include feel free to comment below )


First one is Mozilla Firefox. Mozilla Firefox a free and open source web browser descended from the Mozilla Application Suite and managed by Mozilla Corporation(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_firefox) .Currently Firefox is the top rated browser most used by people in the world(source by w3schools.com) having 38.7% usage but currently it's declining due to the rise of chrome.
Pros:
Speed: fast
Cool themes
Add-ons
Supported almost all OS
Easy to use
Cons:
Themes and add-ons(since this things can slow up the speed of your browser by bandwidth Or process)
Font Color Display
Scripting Issues






Next stop and the second in our ranking in terms of usage is Google Chrome. Google Chrome is a beta browser, develop by Google(obviously). This browser is ridiculously fast and simple. Currently it’s being used by 32.3% of people in the internet and it’s rising and possibly overtaking the throne of Mozilla Firefox.
Pros:
Speed: Super-fast
Simple
Lightweight
Easy to use


Cons:
Limited add-ons.
First Beta
Missing Features




Third is Internet Explorer. This browser is been in the business for a long time but why do people don’t use it much compare to those browser above? Well I guess it is because it lacks some feature that the two browser above have. Its current usage is 21.7% and declining
Pros:
No need for download it’s already there in your machine (windows user only)
Cons:
Speed: Slow
Bad interface
No add-on
Scripting problems


 The choice really depends on what you really need and what suites your style. For me I use both chrome and Firefox but my primary browser is chrome since it's fast. I only use Firefox when I want to download something or when I'm cross-site scripting.
You might want to see this. I search a little and I stumbled upon this comic strip:
