Hello, today I am going to compare the four main different web browsers. Internet Explorer, Safari, Chrome and Firefox.
The Internet Explorer supports Java, RSS, CSS, JavaScript, ActiveX for downloading purposes such as videos, songs, or software. It also includes privacy protection such as malware and phishing that is built-in. It mainly use over roughly 90% percent of the world in the market
Most people started out using Internet Explorer majority of the time when it comes to browsing the internet, checking emails, listening to music online, shopping online, and etc. This was the first web browser consumers used in technology world before other web browsers came out.
Those are the PROS and CONS of this web browser
Pros:
- Free to download at no cost
- Offers every help option we looked for, including direct support via email and telephone
- Provides speed and functionality

- Lack of security in ActiveX controls
- Lack of built in features to synchronize bookmarks
- Confusion between 32 and 64 bit versions for IE
- Lack of cross-platform experience (ie. used in Windows but not Mac)
- Huge target for hackers and cyber-thieves
SAFARI
Safari is web browser that was produced and developed by Apple Inc. which functions on a Mac OX, iOS, and Windows operating system .Safari is generally for Mac users who are operating Mac OS X 8.1 and onwards for later systems. Many people didn’t have a MacBook when they first started using computers because it was either too expensive or were so used to using a Windows platform even though IE (Internet Explorer) was also good for Mac at the time.

MOZZILA FIREFOX
Firefox is a free and open source web browser developed for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux coordinated by Mozilla Corporation and Mozilla Foundation.Firefox was introduced to new comers who were used to browsing through Internet Explorer in the early 90s. Majority of people may stick to this brand since it most popular browsers amongst its competitors based on its features and may allow secure downloads on applications and programs

CONCLUSION
Knowing all of that, and, as I do not have a Mac, I will undoublty choose Chrome due to the fast browsing performance and its high speed. Also, as it it built in Flash and PDF support it gives me better access to many webpages. I am very confortable with this browser, and I have also experienced Internet Explorer and Mozzila Firefox, but I have chose to use google chrome as my web browser.
EMAIL SERVICE PROVIDER COMPARISON
Gmail has a lightweight, minimalist design for speed and most of the screen is taken up by the inbox.
- Folders for organising messages aren’t supported and instead you attach labels, such as work, personal and family. Clicking a label lists all the messages tagged with it. It’s merely a different way of organising email, and arguably more effective.
- There are many different ways to view email and the default shows messages in date order. Priority inbox puts at the top messages Gmail thinks are important, and this works well.
- Gmail can automatically sort messages by content into primary, social, promotions, updates and forums and these are accessible on tabs. It’s nice to have lots of different ways of viewing email.
Microsoft Outlook
Microsoft should stop attacking competitors (Google), and simply tell people how good Outlook.com is because it really does have great features.
The interface is similar to traditional email clients with a folder list on the left, including inbox, drafts, and sent. Most of the screen lists the contents of the current folder, such as inbox, with the option to show a vertical or horizontal reading pane, enabling you to browse the inbox and read emails at the same time.
- folders are used to organise emails and adding new folders is straightforward. Messages can be dragged to folders and rules created to automatically sort incoming mail.
- A Quick views section automatically categorises messages to a degree, like Gmail’s tabs, but there are more categories. You can also create rules to assign incoming messages to categories too.
- Click a Quick view category and you can see all unread emails, ones with picture or document attachments, flagged messages, bills, social networking updates and so on.
- Messages can be archived, which moves them to a folder, or flagged so they appear in quick views rather than the inbox. Sweep moves or deletes all messages from a sender, or all messages older than a certain date. If you get junk mail, Outlook can try to unsubscribe you from the sender.
YAHOO MAIL
Yahoo! has a modern look and feel, and themes are available with plain or photographic backgrounds. The attractive design is ruined by an advert, but you can go ad-free for £30 a year.
- There’s a panel with the inbox, sent, spam, trash and other system folders, and a list of email on the right from whatever folder is selected. A preview pane can be added to enable you to browse folders, such as the inbox, and read messages at the same time.
- Tabs are optional and when turned on they enable multiple messages to be opened on different tabs, and new messages to be created on a tab. It makes it easy to switch from reading to writing to browsing the inbox without losing the current view. Menus under the tabs provide access to all the functions for replying, moving, deleting, flagging messages and so on.
- Clicking Folders on the left enables you to create extra folders to organise messages. They can be dragged and dropped into folders and there are facilities for creating filters that automatically sort incoming mail into the right folders. Messages can be starred and filters created from them to deal with similar ones.
