Web Browser Wars - And The Winners Are: Microsoft Edge and FireFox!

Being an "online all day, every day" person who makes a living on the Internet, I am always using five (5) different web browsers at the same time.

Eight (8) gigabytes of RAM is not enough for Windows® 11, BTW.  Sixteen (16) gigabytes is the bare minimum, #IMO.

I always make my PCs as LEAN as possible, and the computers I own that have only 8 GB of RAM have more than half of that memory used up on boot-up...😓😥😒

Snapshot of My Typical Browser Usage...👇 

While Brave® -- which I like it lot -- uses the least amount of CPU time, what matters more to me is the RAM usage. Brave comes in second in that category, with Microsoft Edge taking capturing first place in the memory-conservation contest ...🏆👌🏆.

Mozilla FireFox® is a FANTASTIC browser.  Each browser I use has unique features that I like, but I use FireFox the most 💪🥇💪 .

That's because I am blogging right here on www.Blogger.com all day, and FireFox + this content management system (CMS) = the perfect marriage. No other browser I have tested works as well with Blogger.

One would think that Google® Chrome® would be the best fit for me, but, alas, it's not.  Google owns Blogger.com.  Chrome is a GREAT web browser.  It's security features and integration with "all things Google" are very useful.

When I start a new blog post, I almost always use a previous post as a template. Creating a new blog post by copying and pasting content from a previous post -- or from anywhere -- works perfectly with Firefox.  All other browsers have trouble with it... #OhWell....🤷

Chrome: Google's New Web Browser

Google released the beta version of its new web browser today. It's called Chrome and you can download it here. Learn more about it here and here.

Certain features look interesting, like dynamic tabs, incognito mode and crash control. The safety features also appear to be quite impressive.

I'm really interested in the safety features, so I conducted a quick test with Chrome. I visited a site that I know contains malware to see if Chrome would stop me from visiting the URL (malware programs are particularly dangerous because they can infect your computer by simply visiting a URL.) Chrome performed well. It prevented me from visiting the URL, and offered a detailed explanation of the threat.

I can also report that Chrome is lightning fast: the application opens in a flash and browsing is effortless. This is based on my quick and dirty test. Who knows: it may slow down over time.

Chrome is only available for Windows XP and Vista. I'm going to take it for a more thorough test drive on my Windows XP machine later. I can't use it on my other machines since they run older versions of Windows.

If you decide to give it a try, feel free to post your comments here. Thanks!
