Solve : 2012 Internet Browser Software Review? |
|
Answer» For those of you who want to make an informed decision as to which browser may be best SUITED for you...I found the following review, after doing a Google search. It's amazing what one can find on the Web, huh? One thing I'm trying to figure out is how they decided Chrome got a higher rating than Firefox for "Feature Set". I can see how Chrome would win on "Ease of Use", but not on "Feature Set". Quite a lot of interesting facts can be found by googling Jerry Ropelato, the founder of toptenreviews. Quote from: GlitchPC The following link will give you a pretty good idea as to how most of the major browser software stacks up against each other or rather a pretty good idea of what one review site says. Quote from: Salmon Trout on March 17, 2012, 06:59:42 AM or rather a pretty good idea of what one review site says. "TopTenReviews (TTR) is a website which aggregates reviews for software, hardware, web services, music, movies and video games from other sites and publications."Have you actually read any of the reviews? There are many people who think they are crap. Quote from: GlitchPC on March 17, 2012, 09:51:19 AM
So they claim. Yes...I have. Yet...I just posted this for informative purposes. There will be those who disagree with, either the review...or the publication, itself. It's up to an "individual" to make his/her own informed decision... Question... Have you ever had someone ask you what browser you use...or which one would be best for them? If so...what do you tell them? Do you tell them what you use and then swear by it...or, do you suggest they do research and make their own informed decision?Quote from: GlitchPC on March 17, 2012, 10:04:04 AM Have you ever had someone ask you what browser you use Yes, plenty of times, and I tell them I use more than one browser, Firefox, Internet Explorer 9 and Opera 11 mainly Quote ...or which one would be best for them? If so...what do you tell them? . If they ask me which one would be best for them, I tell them that I can't decide that for them, that there is not really a lot of difference between the mainstream browsers, and that they should try them all out personally and see which they like best. Quote Do you tell them what you use and then swear by it... No, definitely not. Quote or, do you suggest they do research and make their own informed decision? I suggest they try out a number of browsers. Reading a website that says "Chrome is great!" is not "research". That site claims to "aggregate" other reviews but nowhere is there any evidence of this. They could have just written it all themselves, and knowing what I do about the founder, I know what I prefer to do. I have Firefox, Opera and Chrome Installed, as well....even tried Safari, too. Was not very happy with how Safari performed. Just my personal opinion. I float, back and forth, from them...not specifically using one over the other...all the time. Consider me "fickle"...I guess. Might I ask... If you were to use a site for software ratings...which would you prefer? I have Googled "Jerry Ropelato"...as you suggested. What is it about him that "turns you off" about this particular site?If one COMPUTER is only ALLOWED to install one browser, think of how much this would be a hot topic. But in reality, we could install and use them for personal preferences and usage. Let there be room for competition and improvements.Quote from: kpac on March 17, 2012, 06:41:40 AM One thing I'm trying to figure out is how they decided Chrome got a higher rating than Firefox for "Feature Set". I can see how Chrome would win on "Ease of Use", but not on "Feature Set". Why's that?I think that advancing a suggestion re a browser being "best" is going to be a very subjective statement. As one that has had experience with a fair number of them (but certainly not all) i have formed a personal preference from what is my own criteria. That criteria may NOT be the priority of someone else. For instance with the rising concern for privacy one may want to make that their highest priority. In which case "Comodo" (if their assertions in that arena can be believed) could be a "right " choice for them. As in many things like what flavour of Jello one likes best. truenorth P.S. As has been noted i find it intriguing that this topic seems to reoccur on the forums as much as it does. I believe it all boils down to one's "personal preference". There will be those who state one is better than the other...yet, I still have to prove it to myself. Therefore, I do not simply read a review and trust what they have to say...though, I may find it useful in my decision of whether or not I want to try and/or use it. We had a user post a thread about the "most secure" browser. The review site posted Chrome as the best. We questioned why Opera was not included in this review. Funny thing is...Chrome was the first browser pwned, this year.Quote from: GlitchPC on March 17, 2012, 10:49:10 AM Chrome was the first browser pwned, this year. Quote I believe it all boils down to one's "personal preference".Amen. And, I have some preference for Opera.

I can see how Chrome would win on "Ease of Use", but not on "Feature Set". Yeah. I guess they conveniently forgot about the thousands of plug-ins that are available for Firefox. There are thousands of plug-ins for Chrome, as well. Granted...Firefox may have more than Chrome but, Chrome is gaining...and in the short period Chrome has been available...it has produced more plug-ins/extensions than Firefox has over its Firefox's) development period.Quote from: soybean on March 17, 2012, 11:05:13 AM
Chrome succumbs to Pwn2Own contest hackQuote from: GlitchPC on March 17, 2012, 10:25:16 AM If you were to use a site for software ratings...which would you prefer? I really don't like software ratings sites, other than as sources of lists of apps I might try. Quote I have Googled "Jerry Ropelato"...as you suggested. I don't like "N best" sites. Also Ropelato is a SCAREMONGER who has a weird fixation with pornography. He made a notorious claim about children being exposed to web pornography from age 11 that proved to be made up. Jerry's tips to stop your computer being taken over by web porn, which he alleges is a menace for the unwary: (on a page headed by an ad for Net Nanny) Quote Positioning the computer in an open room with the monitor facing outI use google chrome mostly, but sometimes It could get slower and then I just use firefox, when I'm sending pictures with hotmail I always use safari because for an unknown reason it always crashes on google chrome(silverlight does) |
