Let's start with Firefox. In 2003, Mozilla's browser, Firefox started competing with Internet Explorer, becoming more popular than Explorer quickly. Due to being a cross-platform browser, working on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, its popularity increases greatly, and it is one of the most standard-compliant browsers. Among its most appealing characteristics are the better rendering of the web pages compared to Internet Explorer, in other word, the speed at which the web pages load, add-ons and extensions that allow you to personalize you searches, session restoration, a download manager por-up blocking. It also features the all-in-one address and search bar. This means that the bar where the URL of a web page appears can be used either for the direct search of the web page by means of the URL or can be used to search as if it were the Google main site that we all are familiar with. However, it also has a separate search bar that you can personalize to browse in Google, Yahoo, Bing or even other websites, like dictionaries, Wikipedia, etc. It supports HTML5, CSS3 and it enable developers to create full-screen content apps. In my personal experience, it is also better than Chrome and Safari at the time of playing application that require Java for their view. In terms of speed, I consider it to be faster than Safari but a bit slower than Chrome.
Going on: Chrome. This recent browser, it was launched by Google in 2008, was meant to rethink browsing completely. It is nowadays the most used browser, and its popularity continues to grow, as it has lived up to the users' expectations. Chrome was the first browser to introduce tab isolation and one box for both addresses and searches, and it started as a faster and cleaner browser. This new characteristics that revolutionized the experience of surfing on the web were promptly copied by competitors due to the great ideas that they were, and nowadays we see these features in every browser. Aside from all of this, it also includes some useful features, like a quick calculation system included in the address bar, or drag and drop downloads and searches, as well as developer resources. it also enables multiple profiles in one window, and allows you to access your printer from any enabled web app through Google and Cloud Print.
Last up, is Safari. Apple's Safari was initially developed for Mac OS, but it was later introduced to
Windows (XP, Vista or 7). It is the default browser for Mac, but it doesn't rank very high in number users, since most users are those who have a Mac and use Safari as a default user, as well as those with any other Apple product such as iPhone, iPod or iPad. Standards-compliant, browsing with it is fast and secure, and supports HTML5, CSS3 and SVG. An interesting feature of this browser is that it removes advertisements and pop-ups and leaves just the text, to allow you to read any given article without being bothered by these. Like all browsers now, it enables DNS prefetching to allow users to make searches using the address bar.
In conclusion and in my opinion, out of these these three web browsers, Google Chrome is the one I use the most and which I consider to be the best. Although there has been a point in my life in which I have used the three of them quite a lot, I can say that the best experience has been with Chrome. Although I am a declared Mac user and have used Safari a great deal, I can say that the best experience has been with Chrome. The speed of Chrome is incredible, and it is extremely reliable. It has never given me a problem, and its total integration with Google comes in very handy in numerous situations. Plus, the way tabs are organized, and how it automatically selects the websites you visit the most in order to put them in you main site when opening the browser is extremely useful (although Safari also has this feature). Therefore, I highly recommend Chrome to everyone.
