Which Internet Browser do You Use?
An internet browser is a program or software that allows you to view or display files on the web. It could contain text, graphics, video, image and sounds.
There are many kind of internet browser software out there, such as :
Internet Explorer
Internet Explorer is the most commonly used browser. It comes bundled with the windows operating system, which many people use. IE has all the necessary components needed to allow users to browse the internet.
While IE is a browser that does the job well, it is also open to a lot of attacks from viruses, malware and computer hackers because it is the most common. But this issue can be protected using internet security software or anti virus software.
Firefox from Mozilla
Firefox is an alternative internet browser, it is open source software and it is FREE. It has a pop-up blocker and allows tabbed browsing so you can open several sites at once without using multiple windows. Firefox also has customizable buttons and tool bars, smart keyboards and excellent security features.
Firefox is quite easy to use and makes browsing the internet convenient. If you download files, for example, it can save these to the computer’s desktop, making them easy to locate.
Opera
Opera is another free internet browser that allows you to load web pages quickly. It also has plenty of extra features that let you have fun while browsing. Like Firefox, it also uses tabs and a built-in pop-up filter and Google search. If you don’t like the way your basic browser looks, you can even change ’skins’.
If you’re currently an IE user and are switching to Opera, this browser even lets you import your IE settings and e-mail clients. The user interface is designed for ease of use and secured browsing. Once you start using it, it shouldn’t be long until you find you’re breezing through the World Wide Web with ease.
Other browsers
There are other internet browsers that you can use such as Netscape, AOL and Crazy. How well they perform from your perception will depend on what you expect them to do and what you want out of your internet experience. Consider the type of internet usage you have when choosing your browser.

I used to use Opera, but I use firefox 99 percent of the time. the other one percent goes to checking if explorer is compatible with what i am building. I sure wish people would give up explorer, it would make the world that much easier.
