Anyway, i start the first question.

There are many Internet Explorers available for net surfing. Namely, Microsoft explorer, Mozila Fire Fox and now google’s Chrome.

According to you, which explorer is the best in terms of any virus related risk and other features etc.

Risky Pathak:
There are various browsers available for browsing. Out of which few are quite popular. Often users ask which browser to use or which to not.

Accroding to a survey
1. Internet Explorer from Microsoft is used by 65% Net Users
2. Firefox from Mozilla by 25% Net Users
3. Opera, Safari & Google Chrome by 9% users
4. Rest 1% users uses other browsers


Features supported by popular browsers
1. Operating system support: Internet explorer run on windows only. Rest all browsres are supported by major Operating systems
2. Download managing: Supported by all except Internet Explorer
3. Spell Checking: Supported by all except Internet Explorer
4. Security Configuration: Mozilla and Opera implements good security comperable to IE, Safari and Chrome
5. Tabbed Browsing: Supported by all except IE. Recently IE7 onwards are supporting this feature.
6. Full Text History Search: Supported by all except firefox

Acid Score: Acid test are standard tests to rate the performance of browser.
This score is out of 100.
Google Chrome: 100.
Internet Explorer: 20
Mozilla: 93
Opera: 100

My opinion
-->Internet explorer is the worst browser both technically and feature wise. Avoid this browser if you can. The reason for popularity of this browser is that it is embedded with windows.
-->Mozilla firefox is the best browser for a layman. It provides good security.
-->Opera is another good browser. Use it if you want to explorer its technical features.
-->Chrome is good light weight browser. But as its new, it has to cover a long distance to become popular.

Personally i have used IE, Firefox, Opera and Chrome. Out of which i rate them as
1. Opera
2. Firefox
3. Chrome
4. Internet Explorer

कमल:
Let me also add something to it.

FIrst of all Mehta ji you should ask which browser is best not which Internet explorer is best. Because Internet Explorer is a product of Microsoft, which is a type of  browser.

Firefox is a open source browser. It means all the coding is available in public domain. One can add many features in Firefox as per the individual requirement. Technically also Firefox is more secure.

BUT

since Internet Explorer (IE)is widely used many sites are optimised for that only. So many sites will not look the same exactly as they look in IE. Specially sites made using the MS technology, dot net and dot asp.

In IE also there are many versions current version is IE8 but many sites are still not compatible with this browser.

The other browser are safari for mac users, konqueror for linux users.

I would suggest using Firefox and keep IE only for those sites which are not opening properly in firefox. One such example is Railways Ticket booking site which gives problem in Firefox (sometime not always).

Hope it helps.
