Alternatives to Internet Explorer

Is your current browser Internet Explorer (IE)? For over 60 per cent of Internet users it is? However, the most popular Internet browser also happens to be most vulnerable browser to hacker attacks. In fact it is the Internet explorer's popularity that makes it an ideal choice for hackers.

So what options do you have if you are an avid Internet Explorer fan and have never ventured onto the web on a competitor's browser? Actually, a lot. There is a wide range of free, feature-rich internet browsers available to internet addicts and casual browsers that offer great (if not much better) alternatives to Microsoft's Internet Explorer.

Mozilla Firefox

Mozilla's Firefox browser has quickly become an industry favorite. With around 25% of the web browser market (in December 2009) the open source web browser incorporates tabbed browsing, advanced online security, password management, session restore, spell checking, one-click bookmarking, and a huge range of third-party add-on that let you completely customize your browsing experience.

Google Chrome

Google Chrome was made available to Microsoft Windows users in a public beta during 2008. A Mac version appeared in December 2009. Google's Chrome has been dubbed the 'Speedy Gonzales' of web browsers.

It sports sophisticated security features and keeps a blacklist of phishing and malware sites, warning users before they visit sites suspected of being harmful to their computer. The browser combines the search and address bars into one for a cleaner (and more practical) graphical user interface and enables customers to completely stylize the browser with artist-created themes

Opera

Opera boasts re-sizable thumbnail tab browsing, Opera Turbo for high-speed browsing on slow internet connections, built-in email client, an in-browser spell checker, a real page zoom that lets you hone in on tiny fonts and pictures, and automatic security update downloading for safer browsing.

Users can also synchronize personal data and browser settings over the web enabling for a personalized browsing experience across a range of different devices.

Safari

Safari is Apple's proprietary internet browser but that web-browsing platform can also be used on Windows-based PCs.

The browser features a VoiceOver Screen reader that can read text on any website to you, enhanced keyboard navigation for mouse-free browsing, full page zoom, synchronized bookmarks and integrated bookmarks bar, automatic identification of your favorite websites displayed in graphic thumbnails, tabbed browsing, spell checking, grammar checking, built-in RSS reader, parental controls, pop-up blocking and advanced security and privacy.

भई मेरे ख्याल से तो फायर फोक्स सबसे बेहतर है इसकी स्पीड सबसे बेहतर है , अगर इसमें कुछ बदलाव किया जाय तो ये और से और भी बेहतर अनुभव देता है ?
ये मेरा व्यक्तिगत राय है जो की एनी ब्रौजर को उपयोग करने के बाद की है

जी हा मैं पुरे ४ साल से फायर फोक्स का पर्योग कर रहा हू आजतक कोई भी समस्या नहीं आई है

इंटरनेट एक्स्प्लोरर में एक खामी थी कि अचानक ही बंद होकर डेस्क टॉप पर ले आता था.
मैंने लगभग तीन साल पहले से फायर फोक्स इस्तेमाल किया शुरू में कुछ दिक्कते आती थी. फिर जब इसके अपडेट आये तो उन खामियों को दूर कर दिया गया. लगभग ढाई साल से फायर फोक्स में कोई गडबड नहीं पायी.
फिर जहां हिंदी साथ में काम आती हो वहां तो इसका कोई मुकाबला नहीं है
