What is the best internet browser to use?


Question Posted Monday March 22 2010, 1:20 am

Hi there!

I have a computer work at home (W@H) job that I've been doing for about six months now. Unfortunately, the company I am currently working for is closing down and I will be forced to find another job with another company. I am happy that they have given me some notice of this but am still shocked from the news.

Anyway, I have been researching some more internet-based or computer-based Work@Home jobs that are legit. As I was filling out one application, it asked me what my preferred web browser is right now. I realize that this question is there to get to "know me" better.

Personally, I like to use FireFox but I don't know much about other web browsers other than IE (Internet Explorer). Heck, I don't really know much about the web browser I use! I thought it might be impressive to start using a better browser and to know about it so that if they happen to "casually" ask me about it on the phone interview I won't go blank and be clueless.

What is the best web browser to use and, more specifically, why?

And, yes, I realize that all will have their flaws!

In my opinion, Internet Explorer is the best web browser for me because it does everything I need it to. However, if I would recommend to you another web browser, it would be Firefox. I have found that it runs my programs much faster than Internet Explorer. As well as there are much more customizing options on Firefox, such as you can customize how your web browser actually looks (you can do backgrounds, different colors, etc.) and it makes your web browser more "you" in a way. It's very personalized.

It depends on what you want to do. In the geek community, Firefox is typically considered the best one. Some others are Opera, Google Chrome, and Netscape Navigator. Those are probably the best known ones. Google Chrome is still slightly obscure because it is so new. For the most part though, they are all fairly similar. Firefox is more secure, Chrome is the fastest, and IE is the most likely to show the website exactly as the designer intended, because it is the most common and most supported browser. Opera is kind of middle of the road, good but not great in all departments, and I haven't used Netscape Navigator in like 10 years, so I don't know what's going on there these days.
