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.

Since Apple launched the Safari web browser for Windows it has earned loads of fans, but there are many Internet users who still don’t like it for various reasons. Now the latest buzz that is spreading online is regarding the font rendering technology which this browser uses. The main reason why the buzz took place is the difference between the font rendering technology of Safari and technology of other browsers including Firefox, Internet Explorer etc.

Apple Safari displays the font on the screen in the same way it appears on the paper. So one can easily make out how a particular print out will look. This however makes the fonts appear a little blurred which the Window users are not able to accept. As Microsoft Windows Home Premium uses a whole different font rendering technology, the users of this OS are used to see the fonts using Clear type technology which makes the fonts much sharper on the screen as compared to what actually appears on the paper. So they find it very difficult to read the fonts generated by Safari’s font engine.

Both the font rendering technologies have their own virtues and vices. I personally don’t find any problems in reading Safari fonts. In fact it’s good to see the fonts that way because it’s the true picture, and the blurriness is not too high. However some Windows addicts still justify the Clear type technology and wants Safari to support that.
