So here's a review of the Top 5 Web Browsers
A.) INTERNET EXPLORER
FORMAT PROTOCOL
IE is created by Microsoft, therefore owned by Windows. Personally, I won't recommend this browser for it is quite slow and it's somehow non-responsive. Unlike any other browsers, IE includes lots of add-ons which I guess made it slower.
PERFORMANCE
I'm not satisfied with IE's speed. Like I said, it is slow and non-responsive because of its add-ons.
PLATFORM INDEPENDENCE
Basically owned by Windows, but it is available on most common operating systems including Mac OS.
POWER
IE's not that powerful, too. Because of its speed, power got compromised also.
B.MOZILLA FIREFOX
FORMAT PROTOCOL
An open source web browser, which means it's free for downloading (at least, it's free).
PERFORMANCE
Before, this was my choice. But as it upgraded, it did not improved its performance. It became slower and much like IE, it now requires some add-ons.
PLATFORM INDEPENDENCE
It is an open source browser, so I think it is available on most operating systems.
POWER
Like I said, before, Firefox is powerful because of its speed, but later on, it became more like of IE/
C.OPERA
FORMAT PROTOCOL
Another open source browser, and it includes a mobile phone version.
PERFORMANCE
Opera's speed is quite impressive considering it is usually used on mobile phones.
PLATFORM INDEPENDENCE
Its mini version is available on most newly released mobile phones today.
POWER
It is quite powerful(mini version) and capable of loading applications but not as fast as the PC version.
D.SAFARI
FORMAT PROTOCOL
Owned by Apple, but also available on most operating systems. It's quite fast, too.
PERFORMANCE
Impressive in terms of speed, but not as fast as Google Chrome.
PLATFORM INDEPENDENCE
Again, owned by Apple but it is also an open source browser and available on most operating systems.
POWER
Its capability of loading is good and pretty fast.
E.GOOGLE CHROME
FORMAT PROTOCOL
Owned by Google, its simplicity defines its speed. For me, it is the fastest browser so far.
PERFORMANCE
Superb speed and user-friendly because of its simplicity and easiness.
PLATFORM INDEPENDENCE
Owned by Google, but it is an open source browser which means everyone can enjoy its speed.
POWER.
Capability of loading is good. Also operates on tab mode, and even though a lot of tabs are opened, its speed is not compromised.
WEB PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES SECURITY
CGI
Or Common Gateway Interface, a web daemon which executes a program on the server and returns the results on the client. It is widely-used so I guess it is safe.
HTML
Even though it is widely used, it is still not safe because the binary codes are executed from an untrusted source.
CONCLUSION
A.) For me, the best Web Browser so far is Google Chrome because it is user-friendly and it is very simple to use, and of course, it is FAST. In terms of web PLs, HTML is quite dangerous to the security of the web. I think because it is simple to use and the code syntaxes are not that hard to remember.
