First, I'm going to talk about Internet Explorer. The latest version is Internet Explorer 8, and it looks like this - 
I think most people use Internet Explorer, maybe, not because it's the best, maybe it's the only one they know, because usually when you buy a Windows Xp, Vista, 7, etc. Internet Explorer comes with it.
Let's take a look at how Internet Explorer has changed. Here are pictures, from the oldest, which is Internet Explorer 1.0:
Wow, pretty old, eh?
Now, Internet Explorer 2.0 -
Internet Explorer 3.0
Internet Explorer 4.0:
Internet Explorer 5.0:
Now, Internet Explorer 6.0
Finally some colour.
Don't laugh, but Internet Explorer 6 is the one I have right now, I use to have Version 8.0, but after I made my computer from Vista to Xp, I got to lazy to upgrade it back to 8.0.
Now, Version 7:
NOW here is the newest version - 8.0!
Version 5 to, 6, to 7, to 8, obviously made the most changes.
Internet Explorer 7.0 is the first version to have "tabs"
There is nothing wrong about this browser, it is just that in my opinion, it is the slowest of the 5. But, safety, security, is pretty good, and the speed is not bad, although slow at times. I think Internet Explorer is the only browser that can view ALL pages. Like some websites, you have to view the page on Internet Explorer. Oh yeah, uninstalling Internet Explorer, so don't even attempt it or you'll be sorry. Installing (the 8.0) version for me, took 40 minutes. Maybe its just my computer...

Now, I'm going to talk about Firefox -
Although it says it's fast, it can get slow at many times. For me, it has a slow startup time. Many people love Firefox, mainly because of the addons and the customization.
Download it here - http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/
Look, now they have personas - http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/
And, of course, the famous add-ons https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/
Firefox is a memory hog, which uses a lot of memory, and it can make your computer, not just the internet, slow. Scrolling up and down with Firefox gives me a headache, for some reason.
Latest Firefox features include tabbed browsing, spell checking, incremental find, live bookmarking, a download manager,private browsing, location-aware browsing (also known as "geolocation") based exclusively on a Google service and an integrated search system that uses Google by default in most localizations. Functions can be added through add-ons, created bythird-party developers, of which there is a wide selection, a feature that has attracted many of Firefox's users. The current version of Firefox (3.6) with a persona looks like this:
Now - Safari and Google Chrome are going to be linked:
Safari and Google Chrome both use the same engine, which is WebKit, or something like that...
So, their speed should be the same... Anyways, Safari isn't just for Apple Computers anymore, because it's available on PC's too! Safari is a really light browser, (by light, I mean, not a memory hog like Firefox, not many customizations, not much too it) usually light browsers are faster, in my opinion. Let me just open Safari, so I can check it out... It's so plain, WOW!
Check it out : 
Now, do you know what I mean by "light" and plain? Well, there is something cool about Safari, it is the new tab page. 
Doesn't that look cool? Reminds me of the coverflow of an ipod touch. Well, its the same company, Apple. Well, download it here -http://www.apple.com/safari/
Safari is really fast, I recommend it to you! Sometimes there are bugs (problems) like it gets stuck sometimes, sometimes it won't open, etc. but Safari for Windows is considered "new"!
Now, Google Chrome, my favourite browser! Google Chrome has a fast startup, fast loading, and fast search. Each page loads with a blink of my eye. http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/more/speed.html
What is really cool, is that the google search bar is the same bar where you type something like www.edmondscenter.blogspot.com Google Search Bar is the same as the Address Bar!!!!! That is so cool! Google Chrome is so clean, so simple. You can arrange tabs however you wish, a great download manager, just everything about it is so cool! The security is good too! http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/more/security.html
If I;m searching on Google, click on a site, and it has a malware, it will warn you!
Theres also a lot of privacy too! http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/more/privacy.html

Skins - https://tools.google.com/chrome/intl/en/themes/index.html and https://tools.google.com/chrome/intl/en/themes/google.html
Add - Ons : (Extensions) https://chrome.google.com/extensions
Now, the last browser is Opera: Opera is also really fast, and it a medium (not light or heavy) browser. Opera also have themes, and of all browsers, Opera's themes are the best.
Download here -http://www.opera.com/
It says here that Opera is the fastest browser. Opera also has private browsing (doesn't make a mark on your history) top security, and tons of widgets. I recommend this browser to all.
In order from best to worst, here it is, in my opinion:
1.) Google Chrome
2.) Opera
3.) Firefox
4.) Safari
5.) Microsoft Internet Explorer
Have fun download and trying out browsers! :)
BYE!!!!! :)
