Are you passionate about your browser? Do you think your browser is the best? Then, this is what you have to read. Having a fascination for your favourite sports team, actor, actress and arguing about their greatness is an age old phenomenon, but today’s world of late have been arguing about their browsers with their friends and colleagues. From the famous Internet Explorer to the new Opera browsers there seems to be people arguing which is the best.

This argument arises because of the difference in their feature, security, etc. so let us discuss in detail about them. Internet explorer is the widely used explorer in this world comprising nearly 80-85% of the browsing market. Mozilla Firefox stands in the second place with 8-12% of the browsing market. The third, forth and fifth places are occupied by safari, opera and AOL respectively. Nevertheless, all signs point to Internet Explorer losing ground, which is even more worrying for Microsoft considering that more people are getting online than ever before. With more and more people getting online due to the availability of netbooks, cheap laptops like the Asus Eee PC 701 4G designed for going online, in addition to accessing the internet with smartphones, it is not a good time for Microsoft to be losing market share. When it comes to the question of quality there’s a tough competition among all the browsers. Once upon of time, internet explorer was criticized for its poor safety measure but the new version has equaled its competitors in every sense and so does their counterparts.

Experts were put in a very great confusion when they were asked to judge who is the best and in the end gave a conclusion that each one is best in different aspects. Though a few argued that Internet Explorer is the best since it is the widely used browser, many disagreed. Like this there had been a lot of argument over this title. Only time can say which is the best browser because a poor browser will have no place in the market.

Can anybody help me with the Add-ons in Safari for Windows XP? I am not getting interactive menus for installing new add-ons and themes for my Safari. When I click on the Window add-on option in Safari, it shows me the complete list of installed add-ons as a web page. But I was expecting the list of Add-ons in a separate window from where I can install new Add-ons and themes to customize my Safari according to my taste.

This kind of facility is available in Mozilla’s Firefox. Its add-on option shows up the current installed add-ons and themes. It also has options which directly take the user to Mozilla’s webpage. From there you can select different extensions and themes to be installed on for your Firefox. Apple should also offer a similar kind of facility for its customers. Of course Safari’s method is still more simple than with Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. I have tried a lot to find a simple way to install new themes and add-ons but didn’t get any such option. May be its there as sub-option under some tab (which I am guessing only), but still there should be an easy way to get it because everyone uses these kind of options to dress up his browser according to his preferences and should be accessible easily.

Safari’s way to show add-ons:

Day by day I am getting impressed by Safari on my Windows XP because some of its cool features like fast speed, animated pop-up windows etc. But suddenly I found some thing wrong which crashes all my thrill and excitement.

Last night I was surfing the web via my Safari and suddenly I got a web page which was showing an extra large image of my favorite game character. I decided to increase the viewable area by hiding the navigation toolbar which I do frequently on Mozilla Firefox. So, I just put my cursor on the navigation bar and right clicked my mouse. Oh! Where is the right click menu? It is something which is very necessary. Now, I have to go to View on the menu bar every time I want to hide the tool bar? And its shortcut is also not easy to remember. I was expecting a right click menu in which there should be an option to show/hide the navigation tool bar, but all in vain. Well I hope that in future these kind of small issues will get rectified which will boost my interest and enthusiasm while exploring the fun via Safari.

Having a menu without a right click option not only sounds ludicrous but is quite impractical too

One thing which I feel good about Safari for windows is that its menus are more handy and useful if compared to the menus of Mozilla Firefox. Safari’s menus are easy to understand especially the bookmarks are very easy to manage. Firefox bookmarks always leave me confused and messed up with URLs. Another feature of safari which delights me is its stylish pop-up windows which come down when you click on Add Bookmark option. Safari also gives you the option to block pop up windows on different sites in its menu only. The most annoying thing which I feel about Mozilla Firefox is that it does not have Window option in its menu which I use a lot.

Safari menus attract the viewers because of its in-built animations. The options selected through menus also get loaded very fast. I am not sure whether this is also due to the menus or something else, but it saves my time a lot. The History option of the Safari menu is also too cool. It shows the history of recently opened URLs day wise which the Firefox does not shows. In Mozilla Firefox, if you want to increase the font size of the website which you are viewing you have to press Ctrl+ +, but Apple Safari puts this option in its menu itself. The bottom line is for me, the Apple Safari earns extra points than the Firefox.
