Top Free Web Browsers You Should Use
Many of the web pages you will visit are feature-rich. To handle them, you need a modern, robust web browser. Your browser’s performance is not the only thing that matters. Older browsers are more vulnerable to viruses because they have less security. You can use many free web browsers for fast, safe, and secure web browsing. One of the best is Orfox, and you check out this article on CompSpice, for a guide on how to download and install it on your PC. Let me talk about the most widely used web browsers of today.
Internet Explorer 9
Internet Explorer 8 is the current version. You might consider upgrading to IE9 if you don’t find the interface too culturally shocking. IE9 is a significant improvement over its predecessor.

This browser is another top choice. It is either the most used or the second most popular in the world. There is some debate about the statistics, but it is clear that Firefox or Chrome is leading the pack. This browser is almost as customizable as Chrome when it comes to extensions and should be considered by anyone who wants to upgrade their browser.
Firefox will work with any browser, no matter how old or new. Firefox is a web browser that’s fast, if not the fastest. Opera and Chrome seem to be a bit faster, according to my experience. Chrome is loaded with 20 extensions and apps, so Firefox should run slower than Chrome, without any.…
