What Is The Best & Fastest Browser? Internet Browser Reviews: 2012

What exactly is the best and fastest browser? What’s good for the goose may not be good for the gander. Let’s say John and Jane test drive every available browser. John may decide that Firefox is the best browser while Jane is sure that Internet Explorer is the best. Who is correct? Answer: Both! That’s because the best browser is the one that meets your needs and more importantly, those of your PC.

It’s all about individual preference – for example, if every member of your household had the same PC and specifications, they would still never agree on which browser is best. Why? Because each PC will have different amounts of hard drive space/capacity/shortage, etc. Each PC will have their desktop customized with fancy visual gimmicks and so on. The add-ons, and toolbars each has, as well as many other factors is why it’s important to find the right browser.

The most common browser used today is Internet Explorer. Many people think there are no others – but there are and much better. So, what exactly is the best and fastest browser? These questions are very common, but have many answers. Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome are the top two rated browsers.

Browsers are like vehicles: in as much as you want to travel fast, securely and in style with lots of cool features. Test drive each browser and observe its performance. The browser I use depends on my journey. A change of browser can result in better performance. Faster page loading and videos that buffer seamlessly. If you do decide to use different browsers, you’ll soon notice how different they each perform, from surfing the web, page scrolling to variations in performances and more.

Having a variety of browsers installed on your PC makes using the Internet easier. Because all browsers are not compatible with every website you visit. Most times you won’t even realize what your not seeing. Browsers also have tools and other gimmicks that are unique. What ever you decide, never uninstall browsers that you don’t use. It’s best to keep them for a rainy day when you have problems with the ones you are using. If you decide to switch to another, I recommend that you never uninstall ‘Internet Explorer’ from your PC because it is an integral part of your computer. Having numerous browsers installed on your PC is not a problem provided you have enough disc space!

Browsers get slower and slower the longer we use our PC because the hard drive gets fuller so to speed things up you could do a variety of things such as remove unwanted applications that you don’t use. Clear your Internet cache files regularly. Reduce your browser plug-ins, Spy-ware and Ad-ware. Disable images within the browser settings, especially if you are only using them for script-based searches. Turn off flash, Java, images and sound, etc. Close tool bars and other programs when not in use which is very useful if you’re one of the remaining few dial-up users! or instead of turning off individual features from your favorite browser, try selecting another browser and turn off all the features you don’t use. This will enable faster page loading and provide more time for surfing/researching. You can simply switch to your existing browser when you need to…

I have been using Firefox since day one and, compared to the others, it is in a class by itself — although Opera does come extremely close.

Safari is a webkit based browser native on all Apple products, it also has a PC version though most PC users tend to choose Firefox as the main alternative to Internet Explorer.

Safari excels on Apple computers because it links very well with the mac’s other applications which makes it an easy natural choice. Sending email links or live web pages couldn’t be easier. The history function is also very helpful as it uses (iTunes style) cover-flow to scan through large thumbnails of the pages you have visited. It’s particularly useful when you can’t remember the name of a URL but can remember an image or what it looks like.
