Answer 1

Firefox is great, used Chrome for a while but found a lot of glitches on it... Internet explorer just tends to disappoint in performance at times.

Answer 2

Hi there,

I have Windows XP SP-3 and have tried every browser I could find. Even the ones for Linux distros.



IE-8 is pretty good now.



The newest Firefox works very well and seems faster than IE. I do like it.



Google Chrome has problems with my system. It crashes a lot and I have installed and uninstalled three times. Can not recommend Chrome for that reason.



Safari is slow and I just do not like the UI for it. But have tried it twice with same results.



Maxthon and Seamonkey were pretty fast and worked OK but all-in-all; "Ho Hum". Have tried both two or three times. Either one is very servicable.



I used to really like Flock. It was very lightweight and fast until they added all the Facebook, Twitter and social sites to make it more for social networking. That seemed to slow it down so I uninstalled.



The browsers I use now are Opera, firefox and IE-8.

Opera is fast and I like the user interface. Opera also can "handle" the newer HTML code. The Opera developers keep it up to date.



Also I like and use Firefox version 3.6.10. It's fast, has tabbed browsing, private browsing and good add-ins for protecting against bad websites.



Of course I still have IE-8 (can't really get rid of it) for system updates, etc.



Really the best browser for you is the one you like the most. Browsers are pretty much the same only the UI (user interface) is slightly different. Most now have tabbed browsing, favorite tab page for finding your bookmarks easily without going down a list and private browsing. Anothe "must" for me is an easy and quick way to delete temp files (with just a keystroke or two.



Hope this helps,

Al

Answer 3

Chrome has been bogging down the other two, Firefox and IExplore, so I'm not a big fan of it. Firefox is my personal favorite since you can add mini apps called addons to the browser from Mozilla's website. My recommendation goes to Firefox.

Answer 4

You can use any browser in which you desire but XP comes with Internet 7 or 8. But with that you should go to firefox's website and download it be because it's a safer browser that searches the effecient, safe route.

Answer 5

the fastest is safari, the safest is firefox and a bit of both is internet explorer. Google Chrome is really good too for google searching (:

Answer 7

The "best" browser is a personal preference, there is no single "best", they all have strengths and weaknesses. All of the major browsers are free, so download them all and see which one you prefer.

Answer 8

Firefox or Chrome with the amount of memory you've stated your computer has. I wouldn't recommend adding any add-ons to it because it'll slow it down.

Answer 9

personal preference

but firefox and chrome are the best
