I remember when Netscape was God.

And when Internet Explorer 3 was a friggin joke...buggy, choking on web pages.

I used to love clicking on that Netscape icon. It symbolized a new window out to the world.

Very interesting insight into the times just before the Internet Bubble burst. Of course I think that Netscape could have survived if they had just taken a better look at why Mozilla

was already moderately successful by then. The Netscape Browser was good before it became just another piece of superfluous bloatware after the AOL takeover.

Chrome and Firefox are both my favorite browsers. Chrome is build on top of Webkit and Firefox on Gecko. Like Chrome, Safari and Opera are also Webkit browsers, but Chrome is faster in terms of handling requests per page. So if you would load something like this site: ro.me Then you would get excellent results in Chrome, but less great results in Firefox. But I love them both and use them both a couple of hours a day.

I would suggest anything except IE. IE10 will be a good browser, but in a few years it will be bad again. Developers of online media always need to make sure they write extra code to get stuff done on IE. People do not update their browsers, so there are always people who have crappy IE7+8+9+10 and this will not change fast, because Microsoft installs this on enterprise pc's. So please step away from it to help the developers and eventually help yourself.
