Browsing Browsers

Interesting time spent tonight hunting browsers.  I had always used the standard pre-downloaded explorer browser on my home operating systems until my sister-in-law recommended Firefox several years ago.  Since, then I have become a somewhat frequent listener of Kim Commando and have heard her laud the security advantages of Firefox.  So, I have stuck with it.

However, after tonight's perusing, I may consider changing.  I will first want to research the security of the other browser options.  The two that I used tonight were:

1.  Chrome:  I found it to be very fast and it has a much cleaner bar area.  I liked the how when I opened a new tab that all of the recent pages that I visited showed up.

2.  Safari:  At first I was somewhat unimpressed with this browser.  That was until I discovered the small boxes/ new tab key.  It was a little hard to find, since I didn't know what I was looking for, but it was very impressive once I found it.  It was almost like I was viewing a panoramic magazine.  The two choices of top sites and history made internet hunting very fun and easy to read.  At this point, I think Safari will be my new choice of browsers (assuming it is secure).

  1. As far as I know,Firefox, Chrome and Safari all have higher marks for security than Internet Explorer. (Microsoft products are notorious for their security issues - but then they are out there the most and the easiest target.)

    Glad you found one you liked!
