What is the Best Web Browser Part 2

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ-a358QmX9uWkMXdoniAwc0YRwZin8JmRS7ADJ7aRZfnfolvG84mh4d5ks4mY07svqTA3UhcweTpwBS5-Cc3ArRUU5_1v-ov6pJ0ViRUvi0Pqf8a1g0cCbbRw62Opn1SeT6kDs7P3Y9E/s400/Browsers.JPG
A browser's capability that's beginning to be important in today's age of various scams all over the internet is security. Again, we see that all the browsers have this capability, but security experts claim that Firefox leads the team with respect to integrated security and anti-phishing tools.
Last but not the least, is the speed of the browsers. But in so far, as the faster browser is concerned, we hit a certain problem. At this point, it is unsafe to speculate because there are too many speed results published all over the internet. I could not be absolutely sure which is the fastest.
For example, just recently, when google chrome was l;aunched, experts claimed that it was 4 time faster than safarti, firefox, IE and Opera. however, during the same week, safari released another update and improvement of their browsers claiming faster processing of pages making them twice as fast as the recently released Google chrome. And immediately after, Opera released its Alpha Version of Opera 10, which again claimed to be the fastest in the browser competition. And if that was not enough, just a week after, Google announce it made significant and snappier developments., the declaration go on an on and users are confuse: Which one is really the best?
Well there is one thing that i am sure of: Despite the usability and security of Firefox, IE still has the largest sale on the market worldwide, but developers of other browser are claiming that they are catching up extremely fast as more and more people are depending on firefox and in their everyday browsing and Internet experience.

What is the Best Web Browser Part 1

Before, there was only one Web Browser. Today, there are more than a hundred browsers out there. But only five compete againsts each other: Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari, and Google Chrome.
A Web Browser allows a computer user to gain access to the web pages. This was its original definition. Today, however, have come along way from its humble roots, and now along the showcasing of pictures, the streaming of Web Media, and even online collaboration through office applications.
What Users Want?
One of the things which users look for is the availability of tab browsing. Before, the only browser that offered it was the Mozilla Firefox. However, because of its popularity, IE, Safari, Opera and Google Chrome have all integrated the tabs to their interface. Another feature that users look for is the availability of add-inns. (Add-ons in Mozilla Firefox)
Add-inns are small applications that can be installed directly into the browsers; these let the users modify their browsing experience. Some of the most popular add-inns include quick image viewers (you point your mouse to the thumbnail pictures and it shows you a bigger view of the image), Web Browser Summary (it gives you the list of the content of the web page's content), and more. As of now, only Opera and Firefox support Add-ons. However, Google Chrome may soon be integrating this feature to their look. The winner in this category is Opera and Firefox.
Now, let's look at the fun side of the browsers and their ability to support themes.

(Customized Theme in Google Chrome)
Themes are the looks that users apply to their browser. Whether using the Halloween, Valentine or Holidays, themes can always add some "mood" or "personality" to your browser. You can even search your own image to it. In this category, even Firefox provides a solid theme database, Google Chrome has a ready to install theme. Safari theme is said to be the most popular even in it's default settings. In this category, Safari and Google Chrome are the winners.
I will continue the "battle of the Browsers" in my next post.

What Browser Should You Use?

What browsers should you use? There are actually few choices, but this guide should help you make a quicker decision as to what browser to use on the web.

Internet Explorer.
Unless your using the latest version (version 8), you're likely to get computer viruses and other online nasties.
Some websites like banking sites and Microsoft.com will not work if you're not using Internet explorer.
Old versions don't have tabs so in order to open many sites at the same time, you'll have to run Internet Explorer many times.
There's No updated versions for Mac.


Google Chrome.
It has a simple interface, created by Google.
No version for Mac, so far, but this will change for sure.
Unlike IE, Google Chrome has Tabs, so one program can open several sites.
Claims to be faster than Webkit or Safari.



Mozilla Firefox.
The geek's favorite, because of the way you can add plug-ins to it that can change the behavior of the websites.
Before the advent of Gmail themes, you can already decorate Gmail using Mozilla FireFox.
It has an excellent password remembering tool.
Less vulnerable to viruses.


Flock
Flock is a version of Firefox.
It has a built-in social networking like Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and more.
You can easily open your email. There's a menu for it.
You can also blog directly from Flock. Easy!



Opera
The "Remember my Password" option doesn't work.
It has a built-in torrent so you can download anything!
No need for Extra programs.
The Opera cache (which is located when you type "about:cache") contains anything you download including Youtube and megavideo streams. Hint, hint!
You can also search with just the mouse using special mouse movements.


Safari/ Webkit
The Webkit version is supposedly the fastest browser around.
Standard browser in the iPhone and the Macintosh.
Add Inquisitor (a plug-in) - and even if you haven't finished typing, results already appear: http://www.inquisitorx.com/safari.



My personal choice? Flock and Opera. Flock has the strengths of Mozilla Firefox and Opera has Torrenting built in which id useful sometimes.


I can't Sign-In with my Yahoo! Mail!

http://www.createafreewebsite.net/images/yahoo-signin1a.gif

I got so much trouble Signing-in with my Yahoo Mail this past few days. I was able to reach the page where they ask me to enter my email address and my password as well. However, after filling up those information, the page went back and redirected me to same login page. This is quite frustrating in my part because i am barely relying on my Yahoo mails. I just can't live a day without peeking out my mails.
I checked my Antivirus settings to know if this software blocks me out from yahoo mail. I also checked my firewall setting if it is set-up correctly, but the issue still persist.
Luckily, a friend told me to visit a site that will allow me to view my mail without logging in into YahooMail.com. The site is http://us.m.yahoo.com/.
Unlike Yahoo! the navigation of this site is largely different from the usual Yahoo mail. Just click on the link that says "Mail" in the upper right corner of that web page and then it will take you to a page where it will ask you to enter your user information( email address and password)
I was able to sign-in in my account and was able to view my mails. Take Note that Spam Mails or Junk Mails is not visible in this site.

One of the reason why we cannot sign-in with our Yahoo Mail is because of a Browser issue. If you are using Internet Explorer and it doesn't allow you to sign-in for your Yahoo account, then try another browser like Mozilla Firefox. It is the same procedure if you are using Safari as your browser. Mozilla Firefox is pretty easy to download and it will just took less than 30 minutes to finished the downloading process.
However, If the problem occured in your Mozilla Firefox, then try to sign in using your alternate browser which is either Internet Explorer or Safari.

If the procedures above didn't work out and the problem still persist, there is a big possibility that the problem is in Yahoo! and the best option that we have is to contact them and have them resolve this issue for you!
