Mozilla vs IE vs Opera
Tuesday, August 26, 2008
3rd place Internet Explorer.
Internet Explorer 7 was a major improvement compared to I.E 6. The first thing that stood out in the new Internet Explorer is its completely new navigation bar. Apart from the URL box, everything else was new and an interesting design. it has the tabbed browsing. Another nice change was the addition of the Zoom function at the bottom of each page to instantly zoom in and out of the current page. The “find next” tool is still weak. Yet it still has an impressive plug-in range. When I use IE, I tend to have more bugs each day when I would run Spybot-Adaware tools compared to the others. Although I.E 7 is a great improvement for security and new features compared to it’s predisessor I.E.6.This is still a very good browser and should never be underestimated and is still a must have.

Winner in 1st Place Firefox
The Winner has to be Firefox, it has a tabbed interface: pop-up blocker/built-in multiple search tools: and built-in RSS reader, handles nice and is always stable. The spellcheck for text boxes uses the familiar dotted colored lines under words . although the others has this feature. If you need an Extension for something? the Firefox Extension capability is powerful, elegant and easy to use, It’s also offers many theme. I have been using Firefox since day one and compared to the other’s is in a class by itself although Opera does come extremely close… Like all browsers. Firefox can be downloaded, installed and run in conjunction with any existing browsers you have with no problem. Note: Firefox does not currently support ActiveX.
Supports all Windows 98 to XP, as well as Mac OS X and several varieties of Linux and Red Hat Linux 8.0.
