Five Best Web Browsers

1. Chrome

Web Development
Windows only (for practical purposes, but soon on Mac and Linux, if
we're lucky):
Some browsers have roots going back to the early 1990s—Chrome,
on the other hand, is the new kid on the block. Although Chrome
has a distant relationship to Konqueror and is a cousin to the Safari
web browser—both share the speedy WebKit rendering engine—
Google's browser is less than a year old.
Despite its youth, it's already garnered praise for its minimalist
interface and snappy page rendering. Chrome also handles site
errors and quirks well, and each individual tab is a unique process,
so a crash or lag in one shouldn't pull down or crash the others. In

general, though, Chrome has caught attention for running a
performance-focused JavaScript engine in a lightweight GUI.
Also worth noting, Chrome has been holding its own in the recent
Pwn2Own security challenge, with the distinction of being the only
browser left standing after the first day of security exploits and
attacks.

2. Opera

IT 316
Web Development
Windows/Mac/Linux: Opera is a rock-solid browser with roots
stretching back to 1994. Many of the features baked right into
Opera are either not implemented in other browsers, or require
multiple extensions at the cost of system resources—navigation by
mouse gestures is one of the flashier examples.
Despite being feature-packed, Opera has a fairly small market
share, due largely in part to being trialware up until 2000 and
advertisement-supported until 2005—many people were turned off
by the expense, if not the ads. Still, Opera proponents have long
claimed that Opera beats Internet Explorer and Firefox when it
comes to speedy rendering. Another selling point for Opera is the
quality of the built-in tools.

For many users, the built-in RSS reader, email client, and BitTorrent
client do their jobs admirably, cutting down on the number
applications they need running at once. Opera is extensible, but the
pool of available extensions is radically smaller than that available
for Firefox.

Windows/Mac/Linux: Firefox is the grandchild of the venerable
Mosaic browser and free-roaming son of Netscape. Although
Firefox has a myriad of user-friendly, forward-thinking features, a
decently secure framework, and an open-source ideology, its most
prominent is extensibility.
When convincing a Firefox user to abandon Firefox for anything
else, even temporarily, you won't have to fight them over giving up
the AwesomeBar or about:config tweaks—you'll hear a common,
understandable refrain: "What about my extensions?" The
repository of extensions maintained by Mozilla currently has over
6,000 entries, covering everything from blocking advertisements, to
managing your clipboard, to allowing you to further customize your

browsing experience with scripts a la Greasemonkey (here's 10 of
our must-have picks). Combine the passion people have for
extensions and the ability to sync those extensions across multiple
computers and portable installations, and you've got a force to be
contended with.

Windows only: Internet Explorer still commands a healthy chunk of
the browser market, mostly because it ships with the most popular
operating system on Earth and fits, if not exactly elegantly, into
corporate computer plans.
While many or most IE users stick with it for lack of wanting to try
something else, Lifehacker readers definitely don't fall into that
crowd—the majority of readers who voted in favor of Internet
Explorer are sporting Internet Explorer 8. By contrast, nearly 20
percent of those surfing the web right now are using Internet
Explorer 6, which had its initial release in 2001. Version 8 could
mark a resurgence for the brand, though. It's the first version of
Internet Explorer to have a strong focus on web standards
compliance, as well as increasing rendering speed. And like Chrome,

Internet Explorer 8 maintains a separate process for each tab to
increase stability and security. Internet Explorer 8 has also beefed
up its security measures from previous versions, including active
filtering against malicious cross-site scripting and ActiveX isolation
from the core of the browser.

Windows/Mac: Safari is Apple's contribution to the web browsing
world, built originally to fit snugly inside OS X. Like Chrome, Safari
runs the speedy WebKit rendering engine for snappy page loads. In
addition to its WebKit core, Safari also has the Nitro JavaScript
engine, which lays claim to radically faster JavaScript execution than
Internet Explorer and Firefox (in its own testing reports, anyways).
Safari sports Apple's Cover Flow browser for perusing your history
and bookmarks and an eye-catching display of the top 24 sites
you've visited as the default page when Safari is loaded.
