About the Browser, Advantages, and Disadvantages of 5 Major Browsers - Features


There are so many browsers that you can use to browse the Internet, but today we will only look at the top five browsers based on computers. The five major browsers mentioned here include Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Opera. Now, let's go.


1. Internet Explorer

About the Browser, Advantages, and Disadvantages of 5 Major Browsers - Features


Internet Explorer is an Internet browser developed by Microsoft (MS). It can only be run under the Windows operating system [*], and it is also the default browser when you install Windows. Originally, Windows was not the default browser for Internet Explorer, but it was included in Windows to take advantage of the competition from Netscape in the '90s. At the time, Netscape and netizens criticized it as "tie-in," but Microsoft did not stop bundling, and now it's the default program for Windows. Because it is a basic browser, it is used by many people who are not interested in computers. Due to the nature of Korea, it is widely used because ActiveX security programs are often executed only in Explorer. It is a browser that can never be ignored when developing web pages.



[*] In fact, not all Internet Explorer supports Windows only. Until IE5, there was IE for other operating systems such as Macintosh as well as Windows.





About XP and IE8 | Although official support for Windows XP is now officially closed, there are still a few computers running on Windows XP. Windows XP does not support the latest version of Internet Explorer 11, but it is still in IE8. Because IE8 is an outdated browser released in March 2009, it often fails to display web pages properly and is slow. When I first learned about Chrome when I was using Windows XP, I was not surprised by the huge difference in speed.


Latest Version | As of February 2015, the latest version is Internet Explorer 11, but depending on the version of Windows, there is a difference between the highest version that can be installed


2. Google Chrome

Chrome is a fast and widely used browser because of its ability to interact with Google. Because it is a browser that supports Google, it also supports the various media codecs, and the connection with Google products such as Google Ducks, Gmail, Hangouts, YouTube, AdSense and Google Maps is surely good. Also, the speed is fast.



But there is a drawback to this chrome too, right? Chrome manages each tab as a separate process. In other words, if you open two tabs, it's like two chrome drives. It is also true that on a low-specification computer, the browser is considerably heavier than other browsers.





Apart from the shortcomings of the browser itself, there are often people who do not want to worry about whether my information is being pulled into the NSA (the US National Security Agency, or NIS). However, regardless of the browser, Google or Facebook is known to go out of the information, and in Korea anyway, personal information is already public property, so if you want to protect your personal information a little bit more, I recommend you use Chrome. not.



3. Mozilla Firefox

Firefox is my favorite and favorite browser! Because of this, when writing an evaluation, I tend to write something that is biased against my opinion, but I think I should maintain a neutral attitude. Firefox has a lot of added features. Chrome has a lot of add-ons, but as an add-on from the past, Firefox has come to think of it as an added bonus that can not be ignored in Firefox.



The Mozilla Foundation, which created Firefox, is also a non-profit organization and does not work with the NSA. Because of this, the Tor browser used to search for deep webs (mostly web browsers, often using proxy bypass to connect with exposures for that purpose) is also a Linux Mint / Ubuntu The default browser is often based on Firefox.





I see a lot of attention to tab browsing too. There are a lot of things to refer to when you write. There are dozens of open tabs. Firefox is a browser that helps you manage tabs better than other browsers. Dragging tabs to the left or right to view, bookmark all tabs, close all but this tab, and revert closed tabs. While these functions may overlap with other browsers, browsers that feel as though they are the most convenient to use It sounds like Firefox.



The shortcoming of this Firefox is that it is a nonprofit foundation created by the big companies Apple, Microsoft, Google, and other browsers.



4. Safari

It is a browser developed by Apple. Therefore, Apple's mobile devices such as iPhone / Pad / iPod are built in by default, so the share is quite high, but this article is about the PC's five browsers. In the case of Windows, frankly, I find that it is far superior to other browsers. The purpose of Safari's development is far from Windows. Also, since people who use Macintosh on a personal computer are much less than those on Windows, they do not get much stamina on PC. However, as it is included in the top five browsers, it is a browser that can never be ignored when developing a web program or creating a site.

5. Opera

Opera is a browser developed and distributed by Opera Software in Norway. It is characterized by long and thin longevity. It also supports a wide variety of platforms, so it is also a browser that has more impact on mobile / PDA devices than on PCs like Safari. Opera Mini on Android, Opera on the iPad, like the cost of the original Opera is a little bit different.



First of all, Opera is a browser that is very concerned about running in various environments, especially on slow networks. Opera Turbo is a good example of this, as it compresses a web page and sends it to you on a slow network for faster retrieval. 'Opera only' atmosphere and personality are strong, there is a fixed user base.





The Opera on PCs will replace existing engines with chrome-based engines starting in 2013, which has improved considerably in areas such as the actual loading surface. However, it is not supported by a browser that is developed by a large company with few users.
