IE or Mozilla or Opera

 

As i said in the Disclaimer (which i believe you haven’t read yet), its all about keeping it simple yet stylish. So, based on that, and some other features, let us see which browser is the best. I’ll rate them according to the features below:

Browsing Speed:

IE - takes a lot of time in sending and receiving requests, and what makes matters worse for it is the fact that it refreshes the web page when you press the “go back” button

Mozilla - again,refreshes the pages every time but the sending and receiving of requests is really fast, so that makes it better than IE

Opera - It does not refresh d pages when you go back to them(thats the bets part), so if you are a kind of user who browses through lots of pages everyday and like things to be fast, then opera is what yo need.

RATING: IE 5/10, Mozilla 8/10, Opera 9/10

Bandwidth Consumption :

Maximum>> IE - because of the reloading of pages and also because of the adds that keep popping up.

Mimimum>>Opera - no reloading thing and you can block all adds, plus it has the easily accessible option of hiding the images in a webpage which reduces the bandwidth consumption greatly !!

In Mozilla, the consumption is considerably higher than Opera but lesser than IE because it also blocks adds effectively

NO RATING !!

Security :

Based on personal experience, I’ve arranged them in decreasing order i.e. the most secure browser first. I havnt’t given any more info on this because i don’t want to get technical( or may be i can’t….he he)
Mozilla>Opera>IE

RATING: IE 4/10, Mozilla 8/10, Opera 7/10

Looks n Style :

IE: Not Bad, the latest versions do look good but the skinning is quite limited

Mozilla: Same as IE, only the address areas can be skinned

Opera: Better than the two, greater area for skinning,the speed dial feature makes it possible, plus you can change the colors of a particular theme too!!!

RATING: IE 7/10,Mozilla 7/10,Opera 9/10

These are the only comparisons i can think of right now, I’ll add more when i find more. Other than that,ive pointed out things which make every one of the three browsers important to have :D

IE: There are some old old sites on net which are only compatible with IE, thats the only reason why you need IE

Mozilla: Its compatibility, opens almost every site without a hitch,then you have unlimited add-ons to go with it,all combine to form one great application

Opera: Fast browsing, extremely simple interface, inbuilt notepad(rocks),inbuilt download manager,its own widgets,great style and Speed Dial Feature, check the official opera site to find out what it actually is .

Overall , for me Opera is the best, followed by Mozilla and then obviously IE.

PS:

  1. IE stands for Internet Explorer :P
  2. All the description is based on personal experience …….. nothing personal :P
