Although Internet Explorer is used by variety of people and has an easier way of operating, I feel that Internet Explorer is obsolete (not as good as) the other types out there. I would recommend Google Chrome because it is apart of the Google community and overall it has a faster speed and can be very compatible to hardware.
ReplyDeleteOn the Net using Firefox is the best option because it's a straight-foward way to get to your various destinations unlike browsers such as Internet Explorer which is cluttered with tons of features that tend to cause a distraction.
ReplyDeleteI think that internet explorer and firefox are very similar. They both offer many of the same things, and are both very fast. I would suggest using firefox because it is very fast, and easy to use and navigate.
ReplyDeleteAt home, I use Google's Chrome on my computers. I started having problems with Firefox on my desktop, and it's memory leaks are just too much for my laptop to handle.I use Internet Explorer only in extreme emergencies. I hate Internet Explorer. It's slow and clunky. I would recommend google chrome also fast, and efficient.
ReplyDeletei think they are mostly the same thing.You can use firefox cause it is a little faster
ReplyDeleteFirefox opens up faster that internet explorer. Sometimes the internet won't pull up on internet explorer, there are more problems on with internet explorer that firefox.
ReplyDeleteInternet Explorer is used widely throughout people today. I feel that Google Chrome is better because it is a all over better search engine because it is a part of Google. On Google Chrome there is better security. On Internet Explorer it is basically in general everything but Google Chrome is better for research projects and so on.
ReplyDeleteGoogle Chrome, although newer than IE, Safari, and Firefox, is the best technology out there at the moment for Internet browsing. One major advantage to Chrome is its speed. Chrome has the ability to not only compete with its predecessors in technological advances, but also in it speed in response to the user.
ReplyDeleteAlthough Internet Explorer is a great web browser, and is easy to use it is my least favorite out of all the web browsers. It is the slowest, so it takes longer to look up something. Firefox is very similar to Internet Explorer, but it is a lot faster. Safari is very different from Firefox and Internet Explorer and is my favorite to use. It is fast, easily used, and it very well thought out. I have never used Google Chrome so i can not say weather it is a good web browser or not.
ReplyDeleteI think over all most web browsers are quite similar. Firefox has some interesting ways to customize and personalize your firefox but thats not why i would choose it as my favorite web browser. I like Firefox the most because it is so easy to use,all of its features are there for you to see.
ReplyDeleteBeing at this school is my first time using firefox , although @ home Iuse interent 7 . they are very similar. I like firefox better than windows interenet because they have tabs , which allows the computer to run MUCH quicker , so you wont have like 3 web pages up . Also Ilike how on firefox its simple to type into google what you're looking for . Its the first thing thats comes up . I havent used any of the other types of web , so I couldnt really give feedback on them.
ReplyDeletei use internet explorer and Firefox at home and school. i prefer internet explorer because it has so many options and i like the way the start up screen looks better. I think that most people have never used Firefox before so its not as common as internet explorer
ReplyDeleteI prefer internet explorer because it has tool bar similar to the one used in word and makes it easier to copy and paste onto a word document. It also has a print option and Mozilla Firefox does not. this allows for a much easier system to work with when completing assignments.
ReplyDeleteGoogle chrome and firefox have always been best for me, but i primarily use firefox. They are quick and efficient and whatnot. Oh and Internet explorer is slow...
ReplyDeleteComparing Internet Explorer and Google Chrome is like comparing an old reliable truck and a new fast unreliable sport car. Even though the Internet Explorer is over-used it is still extremely reliable. Google Chrome may be extremely fast but it also uses up huge amounts of memory.
ReplyDeletei don't like internet explorer because it is slower and it's ugly. firefox and google chrome are faster and they look better. i prefer google chrome because it seems easier to use and a lot faster
ReplyDeleteinternet explorer is the slowest out of everything. I think that firefox and google chrome are the best and the fastest.
ReplyDeletei used to use internet explorer, until google chrome came out. google chrome is a lot easier because i have a gmail, and all my teachers use the google apps. Internet explorer is way outdated compared to google chrome.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy using internet explore for some reasons but Firefox is faster, one thing I enjoy about Google chrome is that there is only one search bar and you don't have multiple bars to use to search I also like the way Google chrome looks, its very simple
ReplyDeleteinternet explorer is really popular, but firefox is faster. but even still, google chrome is more advanced then both. i use and prefer google chrome, but i like firefox too. browsers like safari and opera are ok, but they can be a little confusing and hard to navigate.
ReplyDeletefire fox is a great web browser as opposed to internet explorer, because it offers more customizable options. it also protects the computer against viruses more than internet explorer. fire fox was also a newer version so there are various updates that make it superior
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, firefox and google chrome are the fastest and easiest. Safari is kind of slow so its not as good.
ReplyDeleteI have always hated Internet Explorer. Its slow and primitive, with tons of crashes, and I'm never quite sure what its doing. I use Firefox, simply because I'm to lazy to download Google Chrome. However, Safari is a really nice browser too, and I use that on my Macbook and iPod.
ReplyDeleteI found this interesting website who compared them in a comedic way and it said: internet explorer is worthless, but good for the occasional bashing. Firefox is fairly well rounded, but nearly unusable because all of its stupid add-ons. Safari while very efficient, its quality is vastly exaggerated by the people who use it. Chrome is very fast and thats about it.http://www.favbrowser.com/the-difference-between-internet-explorer-firefox-google-chrome-opera-and-safari/
ReplyDeletei, myself am not a fan of Internet Explorer. At home i use Firefox, mainly because i find it to be faster and easier to uses. On occasion it quits which gets annoying but over all I prefer Firefox to Internet Explorer and I'm not a big Safari fan either.
ReplyDeleteBetween all of the four listed internet connections, I have only ever used three: Safari, Fire Fox and the all popular Internet Explorer. I don't like fire Fox. Just point blank, I don't like it. It's slower than Safari and Internet Explorer, I also just don't like how it is arranged on web pages. Safari is a faster and it makes more sense to me, Internet Explorer, I think, depending on your computers programs is fastest. Of course, it's probably only my favorite because I've been using it since I was five and know how it works much better than the other two.
ReplyDeleteInternet Explore is a popular browser but one of the slowest browsers, because at of all the mainly used web browser Google Chrome is to be said the fastest web browser. Internet Explore may come with all the PC's but not the Apple Computers, and if you want to get faster web browsers you can easily serch for the best web browser and download it to your operating system and set it as your mainly used web browser.
ReplyDeleteInternet Explorer is used widely throughout people today. I feel that Google Chrome is better because it is a all over better search engine because it is a part of Google. On Google Chrome there is better security. On Internet Explorer it is basically in general everything but Google Chrome is better for research projects and so on.
ReplyDeletei think Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Google Chrome are all good choose. I prefer Firefox because its fast, basic, and doesn't give me to many technical problems. Different people prefer different things and have different opinions
ReplyDeleteAt home, I use Firefox. It's one of the newer browsers, though it has more customizable options as opposed to Internet Explorer. I have recently discovered Google Chrome which is another very updated browser that I like alot. Any of the popular browsers are easy to use, the main point is what kind of computer you hsve and your personal preference.
ReplyDeleteFirefox is a little faster and offers more things. So I would recommend Firefox or Google Chrome. I use Google Chrome at home and it's fast and efficient. But it also depends on your computer. The different Web browsers work for different computers so you should probably try them out before settling on one.
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm home i use Google Chrome. Google Chrome is a lot faster than the Internet Explorer. Google Chrome also downloads files faster than the Internet Explorer. At first Google Chrome wasn't able to watch videos but they have changed that so now you can. So basically Google Chrome is overall better than the regular Internet Explorer.
ReplyDeletei use firefox but sometimes I might use internet explorer even though it moves very slow
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I never thought about there being other web browers. I didn’t realize there are more out here besides internet explorer and firefox. All my life ive used internet explorer and im fine with that. Yes it does mess up a lot on me but I don’t like change so ill stick to using it. I use firefox at school and I don’t like it, no reason in particular. Google chrome sounds more advanced, faster, and easier but I don’t think ill be switching web browsers anytime soon. Theyre all pretty similar.
