Which is the best Browser – Chrome, FireFox, Internet Explorer

 
The real experience of the Internet comes from its speed. Obviously, a person on a video call would want a live smooth streaming of the video rather than in the form of images like slide show. It is all about buffering and the speed. The existing Windows web browsers are coming up with new versions every day.

They are adding new attractive features and are speeding up to give a smoother experience. This is a small survey that shows the comparison between four different web browsers namely Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla FireFox, and Opera. The comparisons were made making the base of the following features: Cold Boot-Up, Tab Loading, URL loading, Cold Restore, Java Script, DOM/CSS Performance and Memory Usage (with 9 tabs open). Here goes the survey:

  1. I found it confusing that you considered firefox, which won 1 in 7 categories, better then opera, who won 3 in 7, the same as google chrome. Besides, in the memory usage, Opera beat Chrome. I’d like a clarification on that…

  2. My bro bookmarked this web page for me and I have been going through it for the past several hours. This is really going to assist me and my classmates for our class project. By the way, I like the way you write.
