FREE Internet Browser Software that works for you

These days a Internet Browser is a 'must' for Windows operated Computers and below are some of those that seems to have a good reputation and still be free

Internet Browser Software

 

 

At present these 3 are the main ones

 

Mozilla Firefox [open source independent browser]
They state: We Believe in an Open Web
And we’re dedicated to keeping it free, open and accessible to all.

I can safely state this is the best current browser available around. It was born from the first browser ever, Netscape and called the Mozilla Project on which other branches were born [i.e. variations of browser and also email programmes, etc.] and also you can see how much Internet Explorer is 'following' closely its development - even Safari [Apple] in my view is a mirrored version of Firefox!
It is a great browser with thousands of very useful extensions, but too many installed and it may make this browser too heavy and sometimes unstable [that also depends on your computer elasticity] - just uninstall all extensions you do not really use and that is it.

 

Google Chrome [Google Company owned]
Their motto is: get a fast, free web browser !

This is a relatively new browser from a well established Company which is very slick and fast and maybe good for those that only need a very fast browser. But Privacy issues may have had a counter-effect on 'the geek' and avid computer users and made me think, why does Google need a browser? Think!

 

Microsoft Internet Explorer [Microsoft Company owned]
This is the most used browser mostly because all version of Windows generally come with it and users only knew about this one. It is said 60-65% of users have this as the main browser while Firefox keeps around 20-25%, but things change monthly - why does Microsoft need a browser? Think! Why are they using LIVE email? Think again!

Notes: I have to say the latest Internet Explorer 9 is better and they started to be 'more' compliant but still is not enough.
