What is the best internet web browser? I have IE8 but should I change?
People that use Firefox will swear by it. It is true that in the past, Firefox is probably safer than IE7. However, Microsoft has by and large closed off existing security holes when they release IE8. So now it’s mostly a matter of speed and features, when it comes to choosing which browser to use. Depending on whom you listen to, IE, Firefox, and Google Chrome are the “best”, and everybody has their own reasons. What tips the balance for me iin favor of IE8 is that there are still certain web sites that are only designed for IE, and may not appear correctly if you use other browsers. For example, the Microsoft Update web site (surprise, surprise!) won’t work with Firefox, and probably not with Chrome either. So if you have to have a single web nrowser, then IE8 is probably the best bet. Sure, the other browsers may be “cooler”, but there is no question that IE is still the prevalent browser, and there are many practical reasons for that.
