Internet Browsers- An Overview

An overview on all web browsers.Since the launch of Google’ s chrome all spotlit was turned over it..
and in the meantime we have completely forgotten old browsers.
Here’s a list of the famous browsers that are used popularly…

1. Internet Explorer
The King in the world of internet. Microsoft’s browser it still has the world’s largest share of users. Recently IE-8 was launched, it again came in the spotlight. It’s faster…and has more features than any other browser (except Firefox). But the worst part it’s a property of Microsoft and they use it mostly for their own use such as spreading Windows..But that’s OK..

2.Firefox
It’s the second most use browser. And potentially the biggest threat to IE(Microsoft). It has a huge user base. It’s completely open-source and hence loved by Linux people and is almost used with every Linux OS. It has a huge no. of Add-ons and features, A trick to improve its speed available at my blog. The Firefox’s latest version created a record for the highest no. of online downloads by any software.

4. Chrome
The Official Google browser. It is recently lauched and caused a turnmoil in the computer world. Still i have no Idea why google intended to launch the browser as it alreay helps Firefox or it amy be a part of Anti-Microsoft campaign. Whatever it may be but the browser’s really simple and lack a lot of features, waiting for its’ update. But still has a lot of great features like the direct search from address bar..and many more..

10.K-Meleon
K-Meleon is a web browser for the Microsoft Windows platform. Based on the same Gecko layout engine as Mozilla Firefox, K-Meleon uses native Windows API to create the user interface (instead of using Mozilla’s cross-platform XUL layer), and as a result, is tightly integrated into the look and feel of the Windows desktop;[1] this approach is similar to that of Galeon and Epiphany (for the GNOME desktop), and Camino (for Mac OS X). This also makes K-Meleon less resource-intensive and more responsive to user input.

11.Avant Browser
Avant Browser is a popular freeware web browser from a Chinese programmer named Anderson Che, which unites the Trident layout engine built into Windows (see Internet Explorer shell) with an interface intended to be more feature-rich, flexible and ergonomic than Microsoft’s Internet Explorer (IE). It runs on Windows 98 and above, including Windows Vista. Internet Explorer version 6 or 7 must be installed.
