Evolution of a Vital Software - The Internet Browser

noreply@blogger.com (Jenny) — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 11:02:00 +0000

Internet browsers are software applications which are like an orifice which opens up and gives you the exposure to access the information present on the global network called Internet. Without them one cannot access Internet as they are the only means to transfer data at node level aka the client level. To use Google or Yahoo or any other websites you need to go through the tunnel called Internet browser so, this utilization that makes this an essential application.

First Internet browser made its appearance in front of this world around 1991. When Tim-Berners Lee introduced the first browser called Worldwide Web, it became the threshold of inception for several new technologies. They had used the NeXT computer developed by NeXT which later transformed into Apple's famous Macintosh series. This NeXT's computer became world's first web server. Worldwide Web used hypertext to transfer and share information.

Then next to come was the NCSA Mosaic which began the era of graphical browsers. But Mosaic didn't get too far instead it got transformed into a famous company called Netscape. Netscape introduced the browser called Netscape Navigator in 1994 and it became a wildfire success. Seeing the buzz how could Microsoft sit back and watch the drama. Microsoft introduced its ace called Internet Explorer in 1995. This introduction initiated the browser wars.

As Microsoft, who enjoyed a sort of a monopoly over the operating systems market during that period, introduced Internet Explorer as a free tool along with its Operating system, Microsoft Windows 95 and thus the famous arch-rivalry started between Microsoft and Netscape. Versions after versions were introduced by both the Internet browsers to capture the maximum market share. Then came the year 1998 which led this famous rivalry to the famous United States Microsoft antitrust case after which everything changed. Netscape was washed out of market and Internet Explorer became the new definition of Web browser.

Over 94% of people surfing Internet used Internet Explorer until 2004 when the open source Internet browser named Mozilla Firefox entered the market and problems began for Microsoft. Microsoft's market share reduced to a great extent and Firefox started spreading like wildfire. Even Opera retooled itself to the current web surfing practices and entered the market. And the newest one to enter was Google's answer, Chrome. Chrome too is an open source web browser and now there are several strong contenders in the browser market. Firefox and Chrome are providing a considerable fight to Internet Explorer.

So, at present only time can predict which browser comes out victorious through this browser war. We as consumers have to keep a watch on all the updated versions and the upgrades provided in them so we can get the best of their competition.

If you find that you are getting an error report saying '404 Error' server not found, It means you need to look into the problem.

The first step is to try to restart your computer. After it reboots double click your browser Icon and try again.

If you are Unable to connect to Internet try the Internet repair tool. If you right click on network icon (looks like two monitors) visible on your computer at the right hand side at the bottom of the screen where you see the clock. When you right click it go to 'repair' and select it. If you can not find the icon then you will have to go to the control panel and access network connections. Then right click on the connection you are trying to repair, the wireless network or the LAN and then select 'repair'. If you are using Windows Vista instead of XP then you will find the steps are the same only wording may be different instead of repair you will find diagnose and repair option. Once you select the correct option Windows will automatically try and repair itself. You will get the message once it is done and you should be able to use internet effectively.

If you are are still unable to connect to the Internet try to reboot your modem that your Service Provider gave you. The problem could be at your internet service provider's end. Make sure to call him and ask him to reset it at his end if you still can't connect. He can also check to see if your connection is good. Generally by taking these steps you can repair your internet connection.

Sometimes you get connected but the speed is very slow. To increase the internet connection speed you need to take few steps. (If you don't understand this call your local service provider or contact a technician).

o You can check your IP address and gateway for internet connection. (normally you will need your Internet provider to help you with this)

o Disable network connection and again enable the connection.

o Restart your computer.

If your computer has viruses then it will affect the internet speed. To keep spyware, adware and Trojan viruses off your computer you need to use effective anti-virus program. Also Remove all history and temporary files from your computer. Go to internet option in Internet Explore and select 'delete browsing history' and 'delete temporary files'. This may vary according to the browser you are using.

Web Browser Conflicts Explained

noreply@blogger.com (Jenny) — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 12:15:00 +0000

A quick look at Wikipedia reveals that Mosaic was the first popular World Wide Web browser to mix image elements with text. It was developed at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications in 1992, released to the public in 1993 for non commercial use, and orphaned in 1997.

Mosaic project alumni and other users established Mosaic Communications Corporation which eventually became Netscape Communications Corporation, producing Netscape Navigator. A different group established Spyglass Inc. with their own version of Mosaic. When Microsoft was not allowed to license the Netscape Navigator, they made a deal with Spyglass for fees partly based on browser sales. Microsoft called their browser Internet Explorer and introduced it as an add on to Windows 95. MS bundled IE with later versions of Windows, thus having no sales revenues on the browser, which caused Spyglass to threaten legal action, resulting in $8 million settlement to Spyglass.

Netscape had initial market dominance, based on user acceptance. IE gained dominance via distribution with Windows. Such competition fostered both proprietary code and the evolution toward similar user interfaces. As of this writing, Netscape has been discontinued, and the non-profit Mozilla Foundation has continued Netscape concepts into the open source FireFox browser and related applications.

The Safari browser was developed by Apple Inc. for distribution with Mac OS X. It was first released as a public beta in January 2003 and is now available for Windows. It is claimed to be significantly faster than the alternatives.

The Opera browser ranks behind Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, and Netscape in popularity. It is now free for personal use. Some of its security concepts and other features have influenced development of the other main browsers.

Computer Repair Avoided by Proper Browsing Habits

noreply@blogger.com (Jenny) — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 12:02:00 +0000

It wasn't always like that like this but the Internet has morphed into a feeding ground for spyware. What was once a relatively clean network has turned into a minefield, figuratively speaking. Cyberspace is now glad it with a variety of viruses, Trojans, and ad ware programs. These items attach themselves to your computer and perform functions you do not want like unwanted showing advertisements, tracking where you go on the Internet, and stealing your personal financial information like your credit card number. In this day and age it is extremely important to protect yourself by using security software and learning how to browse the Internet in a safe manner.

Many people do not realize this but e-mail has become a very common way to spread spyware. Google's e-mail does the best job of filtering it but there is no e-mail filter that gets all. You might have some that end up in your mailbox. If you get an e-mail from someone you do not know or have never heard of, please delete it. In fact I would go as far as saying it is best to delete anything that seems even remotely suspicious. It is better to be safe than sorry. Do not open any attachment that you are not expecting. Downloading any file from a link that is not reputable is like playing Russian roulette.

While it may seem appealing out strongly recommend that you also not download links from torrent, P2P, warez, and other like sites that do not monitor what people put up there. Put an emphasis on not downloading anything from torrents as many of these files are usually loaded with things you do not warn your computer. If you need to download something go to an established and reputable site to do it. P2P sites like LimeWire may be appealing because they offer free music but expose your computers to many viruses and other security threats. Again, when you need to download music only use highly reputable sites.

Do not just click on any link you see. The Internet is flooded with many websites and these websites have various links on them. Be cautious of what you click on and use common sense when you're navigating from a website to another website.

An up-to-date browser is a great first line of defense for any security threats you may experience. The top browsers released updates on a regular basis when you see they are available you need to download them. Firefox is the best browser out there and releases updates at least once every 2 to 3 months.

By now you should know you need some type of antivirus software. Being on the Internet without some security program installed is dangerous. Keep in mind that no software, no matter how expensive it is, is infallible and you still need to use common sense and whatever you do. Do not become complacent and think your browser anti-spyware software will block everything. Hackers and virus makers are getting more sophisticated and security devices sometimes have not caught up as quick as one would hope.

Good browsing habits need to be learned by all because the Internet has become a useful but dangerous place. There have been countless stories of people having their whole identity stolen or going to their bank account only to see nothing in it. You have whole neighborhoods operating out of Nigeria and Russia where people do nothing but set up Internet cafés and still identities all over the world. Protect yourself and be highly proactive. Whether you live in Vancouver WA or anywhere else you need to be wary of anything you haven't seen before.

Multi-tabbed Browsers Ease Surfing Frustration

noreply@blogger.com (Jenny) — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 10:00:00 +0000

The solution to this quandary lies in the next generation browser that is exponentially more functional and user friendly than its predecessors. These multi-tabbed browsers that have found their way onto the desktops and into the hearts of surfers everywhere. There are many different multi-tabbed browsers currently available, some free, some not. Some examples of these include the Maxathon, the Avant, and the Crazy Browser. Each of these can be freely downloaded and will enhance your surfing experience.

The developers of these multi-tabbed browsers were definitely web surfers in a past life. They have incorporated numerous features into these products that make any task much more enjoyable and productive. All windows are opened in a single browser pane and each site's tab is clearly labeled with the site name and a progress meter. Login pages for traffic sites can be stored and managed in groups and simultaneously loaded by selecting that group. Depending on your connection speed, 10 or more pages can make up a single group. Another revolutionary feature that sets them apart is the "mouse gestures" option. By holding down the right mouse button and moving the mouse in a pre-determined fashion, you are then able to command the browser's forward, back, refresh, and close functions as well as opening new windows and viewing source codes. External tool bar selections allow you to open a different application without clicking away from the browser. They support all IE functions, but the features vary, so it is wise to do a little research to find the perfect one for your needs.

Is Your Web Browser Putting You At Risk?

noreply@blogger.com (Jenny) — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 11:03:00 +0000

It's free, it comes with Windows and it's used by approximately 94% of the Internet population. It also poses an unacceptable security risk. What am I talking about? If you guessed Internet Explorer, you're right on the money. So, is your web browser putting you at risk? If you're one of the 94% using Internet Explorer, the answer is a definite *yes*. By my math, quite a few people require critical information for protection.

What's the problem with Internet Explorer (known as "IE" from here out) and how does it put you at risk?

The main problem with IE is the numerous security flaws. As an example, between April 2001 and June 2004, Microsoft documented *153 security flaws* in IE. When a security flaw is discovered Microsoft releases information about the flaw and the potential impact. *Usually* at this point Microsoft provides a downloadable security fix to remedy the problem. Since many people don't know about the flaw and the fix, frequently people remain vulnerable for long periods of time.

Just how serious are some of these security flaws? Some of the critical security flaws allow attackers to basically gain control of your computer and run whatever malicious programs they chose. In many cases, your vulnerable computer can be compromised just by visiting the wrong website.

Here are but a few of the malicious programs I've seen loaded on people's computers through security holes in IE:

* Browser Hijackers. These are programs that do nasty things like change your home page to another page, usually something pornographic in nature. They can also install software and links on your desktop, of course *without* your permission.
* Spyware. This is extremely devious and malicious software, and in many cases, it's used by criminals for online identity theft. Once it's on your computer, Spyware sits quietly in the background recording information about you. Do you shop and bank online? This is one threat to be extremely concerned about.

What can you do to improve security?

Rather than continue to apply what boils down to "band aid" security fixes to IE, I recommend a more permanent solution. Stop letting IE put you at risk, and switch to another web browser.

How exactly will switching web browsers help? Quite simply, there are so many security exploits on the Internet targeted specifically to IE that just by using another browser, you'll happily avoid most of them.

The good news is that there are several alternative web browsers available free of charge like Netscape, Mozilla, Opera and Firefox. For more information a great website to visit is http://BrowseHappy.com. This website is dedicated to getting people to switch from IE. It's full of "real life" stories about why people switched, and what browser they're using now.

So, what's the best browser of the bunch? Well, it's highly subjective of course, but my vote goes to ...

Multi-tabbed Browsers Ease Surfing Frustration

noreply@blogger.com (Jenny) — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 10:53:00 +0000

If you are looking for a more productive and enjoyable surfing experience, multi-tabbed browsers offer all of the functionality of their predecessors while adding personality and adaptability for all of your browsing needs.

Case in point: Generating traffic to your website can seem like an overwhelming task and even more so when operating on a shoestring budget. Free Traffic Exchange programs have become an advertising staple (and launching pad for other list building methods) capable of delivering as much traffic to your site as you desire, assuming you are willing to put in the time to earn the traffic. This process requires hours spent "surfing" for credits by viewing other members' websites and hopefully taking advantage of some of the offers along the way.

Many gurus suggest joining 20 or more traffic exchanges for the purpose of promoting your site to as many fellow surfers as possible. In order to optimize your efforts, it becomes necessary to use several exchanges simultaneously. The end result is a multitude of open windows, clogging the task bar with dozens of minimized windows awaiting your attention. Inevitably, your task bar becomes a horizontal dart board as you blindly click on the tabs to find each site, manually load them by using the address bar or favorites menu, and finally logging in before any surfing can take place. Since I am the only guy on planet earth who still has a dial up connection, 30 minutes have already gone by.

The solution to this quandary lies in the next generation browser that is exponentially more functional and user friendly than its predecessors. These multi-tabbed browsers that have found their way onto the desktops and into the hearts of surfers everywhere. There are many different multi-tabbed browsers currently available, some free, some not. Some examples of these include the Maxathon, the Avant, and the Crazy Browser. Each of these can be freely downloaded and will enhance your surfing experience.

noreply@blogger.com (Jenny) — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 10:04:00 +0000

Avant Browser is a web browser that you can download free. This browser is an alternative to other browsers such as Opera, Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer. Just like the other browsers, you can download video files, set your browsing to private mode, bookmark websites and add toolbars. Besides the eight toolbars that Avant Browser offers, you can install additional toolbars and Avant Browser continues to update its system to work with other toolbars.

Google Toolbar

Avant Browser supports the Google toolbars. You can download the Google Toolbar free from the Google website. The toolbar has helpful buttons that can make your browsing the Internet easier. This toolbar has the ability to provide helpful search suggestions from your current Google bookmarks and your personal search history or popular Google searches when you use the search box. The Google toolbar lets you customize buttons for you to review and access your most visited sites.

RoboForm Toolbar

RoboForm is a small toolbar that allows you to access your favorite applications and websites without entering your login information for every visit. It automatically saves your login information when you first enter your favorite websites. After the initial login, you won't need to enter your information again. You can create a single master password that secures your login information for all websites and applications. The toolbar also allows you to enter your personal information, such as names, phone numbers, email addresses and home addresses into a system for use to complete registration or checkout forms online. Additionally, you can create separate accounts for various locations such as work, home or school.

Yahoo! Toolbar

The Yahoo! Toolbar operates with the Avant Browser. Once you download one of the Yahoo! Toolbars free from Yahoo!, you can see a glimpse of the latest news, check the weather, review your email, read your social networking sites and a host of other activities. For example, the Yahoo! sports toolbar gives you access to the latest sports news and scores for football, basketball, baseball and other sports. Additionally, the Yahoo! finance toolbar helps you track analyst coverage and stock information in real time.

Request Toolbar From Avant

You can request that Avant Browser add toolbars or new features to its toolbars. However, before sending a request Avant Browser prefers and asks you to review its Master Request/Suggestion List first. You can find the list in the Avant Browser forum under the "Avant Browser" category; click the "Avant Browser Requests" discussion and search for "Master Request/Suggestion List." You can review the most popular requested browser changes before you submit a request.

MS Internet Explorer: Not the Only Game in Town

noreply@blogger.com (Jenny) — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 12:00:00 +0000

MS Internet Explorer: Not the Only Game in Town

When you buy a computer you'll notice they all come
pre-loaded with Microsoft Internet Explorer as the
default browser. Everyone knows Bill Gates runs the
Internet, right? Wrong! When it comes to browsers for
surfing the Web, there are plenty of other choices...
if you know where to look for them. So if you thought
you were stuck using I.E., let's have a look at some
of your other options.

1) Safari: http://www.Apple.com/safari

Safari is the browser of choice for most Mac users.
Faster than Internet Explorer (at least that's the
claim), it contains a built-in Google Search, tabbed
interface to browse multiple sites at once, automatic
form completion and more. Free to download.

2) Mozilla: http://www.Mozilla.org/products/mozilla1.x/

Also known as "Sea Monkey," Mozilla is open source soft-
ware, so it's free. Mozilla is for Windows,Linux or Mac
users. Browse several sites at once with the tabbed
interface, block pop up ads and it even includes
IRS Chat and a built-in Email client with Spam filters.

3) Opera: http://www.Opera.com

For Windows, Linux and Mac users alike. There are two
versions; one free (which is ad supported) or for 39.00,
you can lose the ads. Opera is very fast with a built-
in email client that includes anti-spam filters. It
also contains the usual pop up blockers and a nice
little zoom function.

4) OmniWeb: http://omnigroup.com/applications/omniweb

An award-winning Web browser strictly for Mac users.
Cost is 29.95. Features include ad blocking, history
searching, website change notifications, even speech
recognition. This is one powerful piece of software.

5) Netscape Navigator:
[http://channels.netscape.com/ns/browsers/default.jsp]

Although Netscape doesn't have the market share it
enjoyed in the "old days", it's still alive
and well. Netscape 7.1 is based on Mozilla 1.4;
both programs are almost identical. Free to download.

6) FireFox: [http://www.texturizer.net/firebird]

Firefox (aka Firebird) is actually a stripped down version
of Mozilla and built for speed. It's only a browser with
no built-in email client, so if you need email you'll
want to download its companion, Thunderbird, at
http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird

Those who love Mozilla will find many of the same
features here. With Firefox you can block pop ups,
customize the toolbars, even change its appearance
with the use of themes. For Windows, Linux and Mac
users. Free.

These are the heavyweight alternatives to MS Internet
Explorer, but if you're looking for something a bit
different you'll want to take a look at some
of these browsers:

1) Avant Browser: http://www.AvantBrowser.com

A tabbed browser that's really fast and allows you
to view multiple websites in a split window interface.
Free.

2) SlimBrowser: http://www.FlashPeak.com

A Windows-based browser with a price tag of zero.
It's easy to customize the look of this browser
with the use of skins. Includes a spell checker,pop
up killers, and a tool for filling in forms. Also
includes a language tab for translating different
languages.

3) MyIE2: http://www.MyIE2.com

Fashioned after Internet Explorer, this tabbed browser
is served up at no charge, but they do ask for donations
if you're feeling especially charitable.

4) NetCaptor: http://www.NetCaptor.com

Built on top of I.E.'s interface (without the security
flaws), it's another tabbed browser for power users. Free
version is called "Personal Edition," which contains
sponsored ads or you can upgrade to "NetCaptor Pro" for
only 29.95.

If you're not happy with Internet Explorer, or maybe
you're just ready to try something new, download one
of these browsers and take "her for a spin." Like a
new Car you just meant to take for a "test drive," you
may fall in love and decide to keep it permanently.
Stranger things have happened!

Avant Browser An Internet Explorer Enhancer

noreply@blogger.com (Jenny) — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 05:23:00 +0000

The web is a vast and sprawling land, a place of sunlit clearings and shadowed recesses. With no path to guide us, any tool that promises to make the experience easier deserves a close look.

A few names stand out among the latest offerings in the world of free web browsers, including Opera and Slimbrowser, as well as the well-regarded Avant Browser. We took the latter for a test drive and came away with mixed feelings.

Not strictly a web browser by itself, Avant is instead a free, custom web browser application that sits on top of Internet Explorer, adding a wealth of features and functionality to the basic Microsoft offering. Some of its best features bring a new level of clarity and efficiency to the browsing experience.

A major selling point with Avant is its integrated utility for stopping pop-up ads. For those that haven't already installed a pop-up stopper (or that haven't installed Windows XP SP2, which packages a pop-up blocker with IE), this function is a must-have. Another useful feature is a built-in search engine that allows users to launch Yahoo! searches right off the task bar. The integrated Flash animation filter, which automatically heads off time-consuming animations before they begin, is yet another helpful feature in Avant Browser.

Other useful features in Avant that we'd be pleased to see eventually make their way into IE are the URL alias feature, which allows you to associate a short set of keystrokes for a URL (i.e. 'gg' for www.google.com or 'wp' for www.WinPlanet.com), and the record-clearing options, which make it quick and easy to delete traces of web browsing, including such items as your URL history, typed-in addresses, auto-complete passwords, cookies, temporary files, search keywords, and blocked pop-ups.

How to Fix Common Internet Explorer Errors

noreply@blogger.com (Jenny) — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 09:31:00 +0000

What is the most popular Web Browser on the earth? Of course, the answer is "Internet Explorer" (also known as IE). However, if you used to visit website with Internet Explorer or if you are using it as your browser, you must encounter errors popping-up dialogue box and forced to close the windows you were visiting many times. As long as you surf on the internet with IE, it is unavoidable for you to encounter such trouble. In this article, the author will share some specific methods with you so that you can solve such common problems manually.

1) "Internal Error Occurred"Error Message Using Internet Explorer.

*Symptoms*: When you are using IE to visit some website, perhaps you will receive an error message:" Application has performed an illegal operation and must close." If you click "OK" button, another error message would appear absolutely: "Internal Error Occurred....."Then click "OK", all of the webpage you opened with this browser will be closed immediately.

*Cause*: This Internet Explorer error would be caused by many factors such as shortage of memory resource, unmatchable IE security settings, conflicts with other applications, invalid or wrong code in the website you were surfing..... All of these could cause the error message. Try to fix this error with more patience.

*Resolution*: a. Close those webpage which you do not need to visit temporarily. Open too much webpage at one time will absolutely occupy much both physical memory and virtual memory. This action of course will increase probability of the error popping-up. If you try to run some large programs, it is highly recommended that you do not open more than five webpage at a time.
b. Debase the Security Level of Internet Explorer: Open IE--Internet Options--Security-Custom Level--Select Medium-low-OK.

c. Upgrade your Internet Explorer to the latest version. Download Link for IE 6.0 SP1: download.microsoft.com

2) Internet Explorer Cannot Open the Internet Site---Operation Aborted

*Symptoms*: You cannot open even a hyperlink on the website you are visiting. There is no any respond from the IE.

*Cause*: Such error would be caused by the broken module of the new window.

*Resolution*: Click "Start"---"Run"---Type in regsvr32 actxprxy.dll and regsvr32 shdocvw.dll respectively then click "Enter" to re-register these two Dll files. Reboot your computer after that. If you still fail to fix this error please re-register mshtml.dll, urlmon.dll, msjava.dll, browseui.dll, oleaut32.dll, shell32.dll again. Of course, another effectively way to re-register all of dll files is to download a registry cleaner to fix Internet Explorer errors directly.

Manage Your Internet Explorer

noreply@blogger.com (Jenny) — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 10:44:00 +0000

You may have notice that after you have downloaded some files or programs from the Internet, your homepage of the explorer will likely be changed. Many people resort to changing the settings of the Internet Options and some will ignore this. But most of them are not aware that the system has been secretly altered until the big errors occur. IE is the eye of the PC users to the outside world, which makes it the most possible one to be attacked by malicious programs. Because of this, you will probably encounter the malfunction of it and have to do something. You have to slow down your pace and take a look at the problems you may meet.

For IE 5, there will be problems caused by out-of-date files, incorrect or incomplete registration of files. You can use the explorer repair tool in the Control Panel. If the repair tool detects an error, it might correct it automatically; in this case, you need restart your computer to complete the repair process. For certain types of errors, if you have received the error message "Internet Explorer 5 cannot be repaired. Please reinstall it", or other errors, it means the above repairs do not help.

Internet Explorer 6.x is very tightly integrated into Windows, more so than other programs. Microsoft does not offer any way to repair it through the Add/Remove Programs control panel. To repair or reinstall the browser you need the Windows CD. Run "sfc /scan now" and you will be prompted to provide the Windows CD. You can complete it by following a few steps. There will be messages if the repair fails.

In this case, you can reinstall the explorer. But you have to edit the registry to make Windows allow a full reinstallation of it. It is really time-consuming and risky to do the registry editing. Any error in editing registry can potentially cause Windows unable to boot, requiring you to reinstall Windows. What can we do if the reinstallation fails due to that we can not do registry editing properly? Actually, we can be relaxed when our Internet Explorer doesn't work properly, because there are so many standby tools available in the market. They are designed for solve the situations that the Internet Explorer is not working smoothly. Internet Explorer always stays minimised, new windows can not be opened with Internet Explorer hyperlink, and so on.

What Is the Best Internet Browser ?

noreply@blogger.com (Jenny) — Thu, 26 May 2011 09:55:00 +0000

The Internet is an integral part of people's lives in the modern world, let's face it we can't live without it. This means that the Internet browser is one of the most important pieces of software on your computer, yet the majority of people just use the default browser that was pre-installed on their computer. Well, there are numerous alternatives out there that can improve your Internet surfing experience.

In the following article we will try to compare the alternative browsers under several different categories, whilst trying to remain unbiased. But ultimately only you will be able to tell which you prefer, so what is the best Internet browser?

There are a number of candidates for the title of 'Best Browser', but what should you look for in a browser. Well there are 3 simple categories to judge each other against; Speed, Security and Features.

Speed - How fast can you get online and surf the web, though this can depend on your computer.

Security - Browsers need to be able to protect you against things like viruses, phishing frauds and pop-ups whilst allowing you to keep control of your personal information.

Features - How easy is the browser to use whilst offering the option of add-ons to customise your surfing experience.

So let's look at them in descending order.

5. Internet Explorer

Accounting for about 50% of all Internet surfing, Microsoft's 'Internet Explorer' is the most popular web browser used by people today. This is mainly due to the fact that it is the default web browser on all Windows computers. Their dominance on the market is falling however, which is a result of growing competition, and that competition is better!

Speed - Explorer is reasonably quick to load pages, however explorer uses a high ratio of memory for what it is doing, which can slow your computer down. Admittedly it is getting better with each new release, but consistently is left lagging behind the alternative web browsers.

Security - Due to IE's popularity with users, there have been a lot of security breeches in the past. A simple web search will be able to show hundreds of stories about known vulnerabilities over the years, and it's not clear that Microsoft has resolved them all.

Features - Explorer is fairly straight forward to use and Microsoft has seen that add-ons are becoming more popular with users and have started offering more features to include with newer versions of their browser. Explorer isn't however compatible with macs though.

Summary - There are much better ways to surf the Internet, explorer is let down by persistent security issues. Despite this, it's dominance is still it's major strength. Web developers can test their snazzy new websites on all of the other web browsers, but if it doesn't work on IE, then it will be back to the drawing board.

4. Safari

Safari is Apple's default web browser which can be found on Macs, iPhones and iPads. It is also compatible with windows and Linux, so if your a fan you can download it and surf away on whatever computer you are on. It is currently the fourth most popular web browser, with it's popularity growing.

Speed - Safari is super fast to load and doesn't use too much memory allowing you to quickly switch between programs and multi-task. It's built in progress bar allows you to see how fast it is actually running, which is a really useful addition.

Security - Safari blocks viruses, spyware and pop-ups but lacks any protection against phishing schemes while browsing the Internet. This is a significant omission that may put people off. On a positive note, Safari makes it easy to remove personal information and browsing history, allowing you to surf with peace of mind.

Features - The browser is very simple to use, especially on devices like the iPhone and iPad, but is slightly let down by the lack of customisability. The lack of parental controls is surprisingly not included, which may discourage some people.

Summary - Safari is a great browser to use. Its fast and simple to use, which is perfect for your mobile device, but some security issues and lack of parental controls let it down.

3. Opera

There are a lot of people that may not have heard of this browser, but in recent years it has become the most popular mobile web browser with approximately 120 million mobile phones being shipped with Opera pre-installed. It has a growing number of users for the PC and laptop due to it originating many features that have later been adopted by other Web browsers.

Speed - This browser is reasonably fast. It's fast at initial startup, fast at loading and fast at running apps. It claims to be The fastest of them all, but that is debatable. Opera additionally doesn't use up too much of your computers resources.

Security - This is where Opera excels, offering the user a very secure online experience. The user can fully customise their security settings and protects against viruses, spyware, pop-ups and phasing schemes.

Features - As stated previously, Opera has led the way in recent years of browser feature that the other competition has since replicated in their own versions. Opera's voice command feature allows you to navigate the web by talking, and it will even read text back to you!

Summary - Opera is a very safe and quick way of surfing the Internet, whilst offering a good set of features. Keep an eye on this browser in the future as we believe this will be number one in our list in the next year or two.

2. Chrome

Google threw their hat into the ring in 2008 with Chrome. A very impressive simple, striped down web browser that is perfect for the casual user.

Speed - Chrome is super fast, arguably the fastest on our list, that let's users surf the web with ease, even at peak times. It's super fast at initial startup, super fast at loading and super fast at running apps. This browser has an inbuilt task manager, just like your desktop version, that allows you to see how much memory each individual website is using.

Security - Google Chrome is very secure to use, allowing people to browse the web safely. It protects against viruses, spyware, pop-ups, phishing schemes and malware. Chrome will warn you when you are about to access an unsafe site.

Features - There is a good set of features that can be incorporated to customise and make your experience much easier. Chrome makes it even easier to perform a web search for things by allowing the user to search directly in the address bar. Another very good feature is the ability to drag text or a link from anywhere on a page and put it directly in your web search bar, so no more need for copy and pasting!

Summary - Chrome is an excellent browser that offers great all round use for the web user. We highly recommend you look into using Chrome, however it is narrowly beaten to our top spot.

1. Firefox

Currently the second most widely used web browser in the world with approximately 30% of all web usage. Mozilla Firefox is an open source program that packs amazing speed and top-quality features into a great all round web browser.

Speed - Firefox was very fast when it first arrived back in 2004, but with each new release it has got faster and faster. It is very fast to load pages, whilst using minimal resources on your computer, and it boasts compatibility across the web.

Security - Mozilla Firefox is extremely secure for users to surf on. Protection against pop-ups, viruses, malware, phishing schemes and spyware is all included and it offers the user the option of private browsing. The download manager will scan all of your downloads for viruses without asking, so you can be safe knowing that you won't open a file that has anything harmful lurking inside that could infect your computer.

Features - There are currently over 6,000 add-ons for firefox that can be added to customise and improve your surfing experience. Anything from web development tools, social integration (Facebook, Twitter, AddThis), security, humour, games, blogging, news, privacy, and many, many more can be added. If there is something that you feel would improve your web browsing experience, then there is probably an add-on for you. If for some reason you can't find what you are looking for then just submit a request in one of the many firefox development forums, then one of thousands of developers will probably be able to suggest or even build something to fit your need.

Summary - Mozilla Firefox is an exceptional web browser. It's fast browsing experience, strong security features and an extensive amount of additional features make it our number one choice!

How to Have a Safer Internet Explorer

noreply@blogger.com (Jenny) — Fri, 20 May 2011 09:21:00 +0000

Internet users all over the world could already be in billions. Even after so many years had gone by, people are still fascinated on using the Internet because it is provides both knowledge and entertainment. These days, you can find almost anything you need and want to know from the Internet: stores that offer rare merchandise, articles with useful information, news from different countries, and whereabouts of friends and relatives.

However, along with these goodies that you get from the Internet, a bunch harmful data also lurk in all corners, always waiting for the right moment to attack. These are codes, files, or scripts that are created for various purposes: steal your secret passwords, shoot you with irritating advertisement; and worse, take over and control your computer.

You can eliminate these threats through these 2 simple steps:

1. Update the version of Internet Explorer you use to version 7. Or if your browser is the Internet Explorer, get one now. It is very easy to set up. You can find a free download from the Microsoft's website. After installation, you may need to reboot your computer.

2. The first time you run the Internet Explorer 7, a small window will appear with an option to turn on the anti-phishing filter. Click this feature's button and click "ok". Your browsing experience will be safer from now on.

Now that you have an updated version of Internet Explorer

With Internet Explorer 7, you'll experience tab browsing. You don't need to open separate windows anymore. Just add a new tab for each website you visit.

The Internet Explorer 7 is designed with an advanced technology of anti-phising and other additional security features. This browser guards your computer and automatically blocks any suspicious websites.

How does the anti-phishing feature provide security and safety to your browser? A new feature has been added to Internet Explorer 7 to enhance the shield of your browser regarding the SSL certificates. This is simply illustrated like this: if the background is green, the website you're visiting has a valid SSL certificate; but if the background is red, the SSL certificate is illegitimate and most probably a phishing site. The moment you see a red background, leave that site at once.

Every time you surf the Internet, always check the background color of the url. By making sure that it is always colored green before you browse a website, you will be securing your machine from getting infected with Trojan.

Save Time With A Tabbed Browser

noreply@blogger.com (Jenny) — Mon, 16 May 2011 07:17:00 +0000

When you work on the Internet, a tabbed browser is a very useful tool. Working with a tabbed browser will save time on mundane daily tasks and will help to ensure you don't overlook any regular tasks. Tabbed browsers also have the advantage of being completely free and you can download one from the Internet in seconds.

Tabbed browsing allows you to open multiple web pages within a single browser window. Internet Explorer does not support tabbed browsing. Once you switch to a tabbed browser, you'll never go back to Internet Explorer.

With a tabbed browser you can arrange tasks in groups to suit what you need to do. For instance, if you submit advertisements to safe lists every Monday and Wednesday, you can save all the safe list website addresses in groups called Monday Ads" and "Wednesday Ads" (or any names you choose). Then, when Monday or Wednesday arrives, you just click on the appropriate group tab and all the websites will automatically open up in separate pages within your browser. You might have daily tasks to perform, such as checking your commission earnings or checking several email accounts or surfing several traffic exchanges. You can save these websites in separate groups.

When you surf traffic exchanges you will certainly feel the benefits of tabbed browsing. If you use traffic exchange advertising, you will want to make sure you don't overlook surfing any of the sites. Saving all your traffic exchange websites in a group (or groups if you surf a large number of sites) will mean you don't forget any and you will save time by accessing them with one click.

Choose one of the following tabbed browsers: Mozilla Firefox or Crazy Browser. There is a third fairly well-known tabbed browser called Avant Browser but it is less popular and I disliked it when I tried it out, so I never recommend it. Crazy Browser and Avant Browser are based on Internet Explorer and inherit Internet Explorer's weaknesses when it comes to letting in annoying pop-up advertisements. Firefox is a product of Mozilla.

Firefox is generally accepted to be the best tabbed browser for surfing traffic exchanges as it protects you from practically all pop-ups. Crazy Browser is better for editing websites through certain control panels. Another useful feature of Firefox is that it is compatible with the Google toolbar.

After you have downloaded a tabbed browser onto your computer, you can set up your groups.

In Crazy Browser this is done as follows:

1 Open a page ("tab") by clicking on the new page icon which is at the top left of the screen just under where it says "file". You can also use "Ctrl+N".

2 Type or paste in the address of one of your programmes to get the site on screen. Don't log in yet, you want it at your log in page each time you open it.

3 Click for another new tab and type or paste in another address.

4 When you have opened as many tabs as you want (up to 8 is most manageable) click on "groups".

5 In the drop down box click on the second choice - "Add all pages to a group".

6 Click on the "new folder" icon and give a name to the new group.

To add more sites to any particular group:

1 you do the same steps up to and including 4.

2 click on the first choice in the drop down menu, "Add to group" and select a group where you want to place the new site.

Later, it is simple to move sites from one group to another, delete them, rename groups etc. To do this simply click on "Groups" and select "Organise groups".

To Access Saved Groups you simply click on "Groups" then select the group you want to open from the drop down menu.

In Firefox, the procedure is virtually identical:

1 Open a new page by clicking "file" and then "new tab" from the drop down menu or by typing Ctrl+T.

2 Type or paste in the address of one of your programmes to get the site on screen. Don't log in yet, you want it at your log in page each time you open it.

3 Click for another new tab and do the same thing.

4 When you have opened as many tabs as you want (up to 8 is most manageable) click on "Bookmarks" on the toolbar.

5 Select "Bookmark all tabs" from the dropdown menu.

6 In the box that appears, click the far right arrow to show all bookmark folders, select "new folder" and type in the name you want to give the group.

To add more sites to any particular group:

1 you do the same steps up to and including 4.

2 click on the first choice in the drop down menu, "Bookmark this page" and select a group where you want to place the new site.

As with Crazy Browser, deleting moving, renaming etc is simple (click on "Bookmarks" and select "Manage bookmarks"), so you can keep your sites well organised.

user experience and providing better way of managing power consumption.

This, in turn, significantly helps businesses minimize energy footprint and reduce carbon emissions. Microsoft is strongly focused on reducing the overall power consumption by

managing the performance optimization and device power management.

The energy efficiency and longer battery life in Windows 7 are highly beneficial for portable computers. Moreover, better tools option is specially designed for the IT
