Are All Internet Browsers The Same ?

Just have a look at the Internet Browser your using at the moment. If your a Windows user, it's most likely either Firefox from Mozilla or Internet Explorer 7.0 from Microsoft. These are the two most commonly used browsers.

Hang on, your asking, what IS an internet browser ? Its this; A graphical tool designed to read HTML documents and access the WWW. Ok in a little more detail, this means its the front end of viewing HTML documents (Hyper-text markup language) and an access port for the WWW (world wide web). Still lost ?

In plain English, its a program that allows you to read, view, find and/or interact with web pages containing text, images (like digital photos), sound, music and video. This is the most common way of interacting on the World Wide Web (its like the worlds largest encyclopedia).

This very Blog your reading is a web page.

Is there much difference between the differing browsers ? No, not really, much like you have Mitsubishi and Ford, different companies, but they still both manufacture cars.

Which one you decide to use will come down to personal preference. I myself prefer to use Firefox because for me, it's fast, I can turn on or off features I want to use and I find it easier in its use than some other browsers.

Here is a list to some of the popular browsers used today and a handy link should you choose to download one and try it out yourself.
