The browser is the cornerstone of the modern Internet. Despite the fact that most users absolutely do not understand anything about programming or information security, they are very fond of reasoning with a smart look about “security holes”, “memory leaks” and other important things. The lightest browser is very popular. More precisely, a discussion of the best applicants for this title.
So, let's make another contribution to the fertile theme of “browser wars”. Which browser is the most suitable for traveling across the vastness of the World Wide Web? Ask any computer-savvy user about this and immediately get a single and very categorical answer, and the very product that a particular person uses will be recognized as the best.
Unfortunately, the very “lightweight browser” you just can not find. Here you need your own experience. If you don’t have one, let's briefly discuss the most popular options today.
So, the brainchild of Microsoft, IE 10. Contrary to the forecasts of skeptics and pessimists, this is quite a decent, for once, really quite smart browser! The simplicity and the fact that it comes with the system bribes beginners. The disadvantages include vulnerability for all sorts of "bars", panels and poor Internet. At the low speed of the latter, communication with IE soon turns into torture, slow in all senses. In addition, there is no regular ad blocker, which allows you to "enjoy" the Internet in all its wild beauty.
We go further. Opera is a very good browser, the brainchild of Norwegian programmers. Until about the 10th version, I was very fond of owners of a low-quality Internet connection (95% of residents of Russia and the former CIS). Since version 11, it began to slowly but surely turn into a real “harvester”, which was facilitated by a change of leadership. However, its ability to get along well with slow communication channels to this day makes Opera a good choice and a favorite of many domestic users.
Chrome and Chrome-based browsers for the most part can really be classified as light. The most simplified design, the minimum number of functions "in the database" and, as a result, high speed. For this, Google Chrome and fell in love with many advanced users.
However, another part of them cannot forgive the program for the notorious simplification, which is partially offset by the presence of additions. In addition, this lightest browser is also considered one of the safest, as updates are constantly released, and they are installed without the knowledge and desire of the user through a special Google Update service. For this, layout designers adore him, since they do not need to test their site on dozens of different versions.
Finally, Firefox. Designer browser famous for its add-ons. A clean “Fox” is not remarkable for anything, but it’s worth installing some updates on it ... Experts joke that this way you can get not only the lightest browser, but also a new operating system in addition.
In a word, there is no unity in the world of browsers, and the final choice is only yours!
