Alternative Browsers

[bm]

At present I use Internet Explorer and I am now being encouraged to try 3

other Browsers.

Has anyone experience of these other Browsers and would they recommend using

one of them as a better alternative

Tried Opera for a while once but didn't like it, very confusing.



Tried Fire Fox (FF) and that was good. I used that for a long while and

liked the way you could synchronise your bookmarks between FF & IE. Then,

unfortunately, after a FF update that capability became compromised so I

ditched that also. However, if you want to try a different browser to maybe

replace IE then FF was comparable in the IE6 era ......... not in a position

to compare like for like in the IE8 era though.

Depends on your needs and wants.

Try them fo ra while to see if you like them.



I find FireFox is better at editing on-line web pages such as those at

Google Sites or Weebly. IE8 seems to stall.



Opera is an interesting alternative but I do not need the integrated

mail client so I don't use it.



Safari seems nice but you have to manually clear web caches and history

files. There is no clean on quit as far as I can see though I just

started trying it.



Google Chrome I didn't "get," had issues with it, and summarily deleted

it.



K-Meleon is based on Mozilla so its underlying engine is the same as

that driving ForeFox. Maxthon and a couple of others are just front

ends offering some bells and whistles for the IE engine.
