What Is The Best Browser?




Firefox screenshotFirefox. I have been using Firefox for three years now and I have no intention of defecting to another browser. What makes Firefox stands out from other browsers is the potential for user customization. I can select from many available themes and “skin” Firefox to an entirely different appearance. I can add extensions such as the Gmail Notifier to alert me of a new email from Gmail or—one of my favorites!—the Video DownloadHelper to download videos from supported sites so I could watch it at a later time. The choices are endless for add-ons that range from bookmarking to privacy and security, and from news feeds to search tools.

Even without the add-ons, the built-in features of a bare Firefox are
awesome such as tabbed browsing—though browsers at present have this feature—and spell-checker for text boxes. It also allows users to run different profiles of Firefox and distinctively customize each of them.

The one great thing about Firefox is that it runs on several platforms. Since I have Windows and Ubuntu installed in my PC, I can also use Firefox as my personal browser in Ubuntu. And guess what? I was able to export my Firefox bookmarks in Windows to my Firefox in Ubuntu.

Thus, Firefox is the best browser because it enables users to have complete control of, well, his/her Firefox. For those interested in Firefox, click the Firefox button located at the sidebar and explore why Firefox should be your own personal browser.
