¶ … Mozilla Firefox and with Internet Explorer.
Internet Explorer was the first one I was familiar with. It served me well until I thought my computer was crashing down and I tried all things to make it faster. I would withdraw books from the library, laboriously read manuals, download instructions on how to make the computer faster, delete as many programs as I could, insert new programs to 'clean' the computer, and, in short, tediously and persistently attempt to create faster downloading time of search engine.
I then started experiencing another problem: I was often told that Google or Yahoo had stopped working and that the page could not recover the website. Sometimes, the computer froze for long periods of time, other times it haphazardly took me to a previous page; almost always the search was slow with search frequently freezing in the middle.
Frustrated, I turned to other computers.
That was when I realized that it may have been the browser rather than the computer since Internet Explorer gave me these and similar problems regardless of computer that I was one. These same challenges occurred in the library too.
A technician recommended that I turn to Firefox. A friend encouraged me to the same. Both told me that Firefox was the fastest, most reliable search-browser I was yet to find and that Internet Explorer was painfully slow.
I turned to Mozilla Firefox and use it religiously since then. I have had no problems.
I must amend that statement. Sometimes I do find -- and this is particularly so on the library's computer which I still have to understand why -- that the page does not load instantly and sometimes fails to load altogether. This situation, however, does no happen on my computer and indeed only occurs on the library one when I have first started loading it.
I tried Google Chrome too. I have a tough time loading it; it does not always appear. I also found it slow.
I did find some thing of Google Chrome preferable to Firefox.
Google Chrome is typically Google meaning that it shares its identifying characteristics of simplicity, efficacy, and cleanliness. There is no status bar. I like the way Google measures speed with time and does this in a demonstrative manner. I also like its tabs in the title bar. Chrome, too, has search built in to the address bar, whilst Firefox has a separate field which you can change to the Search engine.
On the other hand, I missed the extensions that you find in Firefox. Using a lot of extension, I missed that ability in Google Chrome.
I also noticed other features that Firefox has and that Chrome lacks such as Command+Return when typing a URL that adds www. And .com to an address in Firefox. Chrome has this too but it opens in a new tab.
I was also bothered by the complex script support (such s Arabic). I thought my computer was acting up but then I discovered -- again form sharing my experience with others and from reading Linux Crunch that Google Chrome has some serious bug issues.
