A collective post about web browsers.
Internet is huge collection of data and it is very important which tools you use to extract that information. Web browser is the most important because it is the entry point. If you use it effectively, it will definitely improve your internet experience.
My personal experience, I started internet browsing from 1999 with dial-up connection. Within few days I dropped Internet Explorer and switched to Opera. I never liked Netscape somehow. Opera is a great browser, its most important feature is tabbed browsing and speed. It also beats other common browsers in terms of resource consumption. But unfortunately, it gives problem with some websites e.g. new yahoo mail interface etc. Hence few months back, I switched to firefox 3. Firefox is a great browser, little heavy and slow compared to opera but very much better, secure, faster than IE. In the mean time, Microsoft introduced several versions of Internet explorer, but they never impressed me that much.
Apart from these, I also tried Safari and few other browsers, but none of them impressed me. Linux also has lot many browser options, but they are all okay okay type.
So, at the end, in my view - firefox ROCKS !!! but Opera is also worth considering.
