Firefox vs. Chrome vs. IE 8

MWahl | October 18, 2009 | 3:51 pm

Internet Explorer 8 – With Microsoft behind it, IE hangs on to a reputation of safe and reliable browsing. When you open a new tab from an existing page, the new one opens directly to the right of the originating one, and both tabs are given the same color. Also the new ability to reopen tabs. To reopen the last tab you’ve closed, you press Ctrl-Shift-T Each tab is isolated from the others, this is helpful if one tab crashes, the entire browser doesn’t go down. You can  restore the crashed tab it reloads with the information that had been in it when it crashed such as  a blog or email you were writing.

 

 

Google Chrome - Chrome’s multi-process architecture makes a bad Web page less likely to take down the whole browser.  Chrome loads pages fast and makes use of all the screen space. There is an “Incognito” mode that lets you leave no footprints from where you’ve been.

FireFox – Also loads pages fast, and has a huge library of plug ins to make your browsing and online collaboration easier.
