A web browser? What is a web browser? A frequently heard remark, even though almost everyone uses them daily. It is, in fact, a computer program used to visit your own or other websites on the internet. Below is an overview of the top 5 most popular web browsers.
No. 5 Opera (2,9%)
Opera is the web browser from the Norwegian company Opera Software. In 2010, it was still used as the default web browser by 4,38% of internet users. In addition to being used as a web browser, you can also use Opera as an IRC client, for newsgroups, as an RSS reader, and as a torrent client, and it has an integrated email function. Compared to the other four, Opera is a small player.
No. 4 Safari (11,09%)
Safari is Apple's web browser. A web browser that has seen a slight increase in the number of users since 2010 (4,13%), primarily due to the increasing number of Apple products with iOS / MAC OS X. Safari is selected as the default web browser on iOS / MAC OS X and it is not possible to change this.
NO. 3 Internet Explorer (15,39%)
Internet Explorer is Microsoft's web browser. It is a web browser that is still used as the default web browser by 41,86% of internet users. This is because it was previously always installed as the default web browser, but since 2010, it has been mandatory in Europe to allow users to choose which browser to select during Windows installation. In five years, the number of users has dropped by no less than 26,41%.
NO. 2 Mozilla Firefox (22,49%)
Mozilla Firefox, or simply Firefox, is the web browser of the Mozilla Foundation. A web browser that was still used as the default web browser by 38,49% of internet users in 2010, but despite losing 16% of its users, Firefox remains a solid number 2. This is primarily due to better protection against spyware and malware on Windows computers.
No. 1 Google Chrome (44,42%)
Google Chrome is the web browser of Google Inc. It has grown into a giant among web browsers compared to 2010. In 2010, 10,34% of internet users used Google Chrome as their default web browser, and this has grown by no less than 34,08%. Due to its reliability, user-friendliness, and support for the latest web standards, Google Chrome is the best for me.
