Comparison of all wth the latest versions.
Firefox is safest & fastest.
So , from My point of view Firefox is the best web browser so far.
Opera by far... if you like control of what buttons do what, how each individual site opens up (yes javascript, no pictures, no flash, yes sound, no cookies, etc), if you want always fastest too many tabs browsing, if you want sucessfull control to popups, and much more... OPERA man OPERA!
I use and recommend a simultaneous dual browser arrangement:
You can have as many browsers open as you want at the same time , without major problems.
Use FF for general & everyday surfing needs, especially to sites you don't know anything about. Depending on how many plug-in's and add-on's you "hang" onto FF, it's faster than IE, & inherently safer.
Note: Current threats include 'Antivirus 2009' or variants.
Because architecture of the Internet (notably 'Flash' scripopera firefox comparisonting), vulnerabilities are readily exploited in Internet Explorer, & it is now urgent that you use Firefox with current 'NoScript' add-on, which will prevent "opacity-based attacks".
NoScript:
Try viewing a site with FF first, and if it does not allow the interaction you require, switch & use IE (but only when it's absolutely necessary), or to use 'Active X' or 'Flash' scripting: but use these at your own peril.
This dual set-up, & using 'Sandboxie' as described below, will drastically reduce web based threats to your system.
**********
And for even greater security, without limiting functionality of either browser, get "Sandboxie": This runs your programs in an isolated space which prevents them from making permanent changes to other programs and data in your computer.
Use it for: *Secure Web Browsing* Running your Web browser under the protection of Sandboxie means that all malicious software downloaded by the browser is trappeopera firefox comparisond in the sandbox and can be discarded trivially.
*Enhanced Privacy* Browsing history, cookies, and cached temporary files collected while Web browsing stay in the sandbox and don't leak into Windows.
*Secure E-mail* Viruses and other malicious software that might be hiding in your email can't break out of the sandbox and can't infect your real system.
Not overly difficult to use, but don't assume you can do anything with total impunity: it does have limitations.
