War of the Web Browsers

Well folks, actually, there is no war… chillax. Nobody’s fighting anybody. All browsers are used. You’ll find fans of each browser. It’s just a matter of personal preference. As a matter of fact, if you’re a nontechnical regular user into emailing and youtubing, all browsers will deliver equally. But if you’re a techy, you’ll find all browsers have the potential to irritate you somehow.

Come let’s degrade them all!

Google Chrome

Google Chrome seems to be a perfect browser when it comes to typical browsing. Its 100% HTML5 compatible, quick and decently capable of handling various types of pages quite well. However, there are some tiny little problems with this browsing devil.

We found it to be incompatible with certain types of WYSIWYG Rich Text Editors and some websites. Though not very common, but the browser has got to be 100% compatible with whatever you are accessing through it.

Another tiny problem is Chrome’s download manager… or should I say, Chrome’s no download manager. Whatever stupid thing Google is trying to call Chrome’s download manager is a sheer painful nonsense. It shows the downloads in an irritating big thick bar on the bottom of the window hence cutting off your working area. Plus why should one see all the ongoing downloads while browsing? Weird idea! And there is no way that you can turn this behavior off. Neither can you hook up any other free download manager or accelerator with Chrome. It supports none!


Mozilla Firefox 

Mozilla Firefox is a famous open source browser which means there are a couple of other browsers available which have Firefox running in their core. Firefox has always been on the forefront of ingenuity in the field of web browsers. And it delivers quite much to majority of the technical users out there. There is an infinite supply of add-ons and plugins available that you can hook up with your Firefox for various useful and useless things that you do online. A problem associated with the installed plug-ins and stuff though is that Firefox would update them every now and then and while it does so, you would have to wait. That is seriously sick!

But unlike their inventiveness-drive running wild in the past, Firefox has recently fallen a little cold. It is seriously suffering from incompatibility with HTML5 which is a plain disappointment.


Microsoft Internet Explorer


So… what do we have here… it’s the mighty Internet Explorer by the mighty Microsoft. Ok let’s not be sarcastic… we found the Internet Explorer to be a horrible web browser. It is 100% compatible with HTML5 and all kinds of websites. Other than that, to appear modern, it has copied the stupid single button control and the big thick ugly download manager on the screen’s bottom from Chrome.

But Internet Explorer has proven to be the most constipated web browser. It’s like a baby born without a limb. Yes… it’s physically handicapped. It does not come with a built-in spellcheck. We can think of no viable reason as to why wouldn’t Microsoft put in a spellchecker. Maybe it’s one of those unethical lame policies that Microsoft is so in love with.

The browser does support plug-ins and extensions but here’s the misery… if you have a couple of plug-ins installed, Internet Explorer would suggest you to “speed up browsing by disabling plug-ins” and it sticks the suggestion onto the bottom of the screen and doesn’t bother to remove it after a while. So every time you run the miserable Internet Explorer, you have to swear in the name of Almighty that you don’t want to close down any plug-ins.

Apart from all these troubles, the most heinous unforgivable sin is that Inter Explorer is prone to malicious Trojans and malware attacks. Every now and then, your antivirus (if you have set to live scanning) would report various attacks while you are browsing.


Apple Safari


At last, we have Apple’s Safari. Hmmm let’s see now. Naaaa lets see again. Hmmm well I’m speechless. What should I say about this browser… oh no I am so sorry… I meant to say iBrowser. Safari is actually just a silver colored shiny and bright web browser that browses, yes, it does, oh no sorry again, it does not browse, it iBrowses. I have nothing to say about Safari. Maybe its good, maybe it isn’t. Well whether it’s good or not, it’s still made by Apple and Apple’s fans say “we will use anything that is shiny and made by Apple”. No more comments!



Note: All web browsers have copied the single button control panel and tabs in the window’s title bar from Google Chrome. You know what, Google should have patented that. Too bad Google!
