Web Browsers

Some of you may use Internet Explorer (IE) or maybe Mozilla Firefox (FF) to surf the Internet.  There are other web browsers, but a lot of Windows users use either IE or FF for surfing the Internet.  I have both of these installed on my computer.

I have two other browsers installed on my computer also.  Chrome from Google and Safari from Apple.  The reason I have 4 web browsers installed on my computer is for testing new web sites I create.  Depending on what technology was used to create a web page, it may or may not look the same in all web browsers.  When I'm testing the different web browsers I will be bring up the new web site that I have created in these various web browsers to make sure everything looks good.  

Some of you have asked about Apple's Safari web browser.  There is a windows version of Safari that you can download for free.  You may find that you like it better or maybe not.  I think it is good to know you have options and if for some reason you are not happy with your current web browser, give Safari or Chrome a try.  

If you are interested in downloading the Safari web browser, go here:  http://www.apple.com/safari/download/. If you download it and use it, let the group know how you like it.

If you want to know more about Chrome and you want to give it a try, check out my blog post on about it:  http://elevateusergroup.blogspot.com/2009/10/google-chrome-new-web-browser.html.

Have fun!
