Gateway to the World Wide Web

Gateway to the World Wide Web

Is Google Chrome slowing down your computer? Are you still stuck with the Internet Explorer? Perhaps it is time to start afresh

The Web browser, that simple app you use on your PC and phone to access the World Wide Web, isn’t as simple as you might think. Every Web browser has a different set of features which may or may not be relevant for you, in the same way that gadgets and apps that work for one person may not necessarily work for another. 

On 7 April, Jon von Tetzchner, a former chief executive officer of Opera, a company that makes Web browsers, launched the Vivaldi Web browser, focused on enhancing productivity. Microsoft is constantly adding to the Edge browser, the latest being Skype plug-in support. Mozilla has announced that it is starting Project Tofino as it struggles to make more headway with the current-generation Firefox browser. Google’s Chrome, which has released its 50th version, remains the undisputed leader globally.

We take you through the highlights of the five major Web browsers for Windows and Mac OS X devices. The results may surprise you, and even help you make a smarter switch to a Web browser that suits your usage better.
