== Introduction ==


There are many great web browsers to choose from, and many different ways of viewing the web, from text-only to 3D rendered pages.
== Major Browsers ==
[[Firefox]] is historically known for being the most compatible, stable, and customizable browser available, but some of those points have been challenged in recent times. Firefox is by far the most customizable browser, and is generally considered to have better plugins. '''Free software'''.
[[Chrome]], developed by Google, is a great upstart competitor of Firefox. It tends to be more stable and seem much faster, but that is mainly due to the fact that it renders UI and webpages separately. Speed between firefox and chrome is not something to worry about as both perform different in different situations and both can be equally  fast. It used to have issues with customization, but that has been reduced in recent times. In recent times there have been outbreaks of extensions that have malware or track you for their own benefit, but if you have common sense then that shouldn't be much of a problem. Well known to send a lot more data than necessary back to google, allowing them to track you endlessly. Chrome is locked into Google, as it persuades you to log in your Google account to your Chrome. Also, there are several menus for Google's services inside Chrome. '''Non-free software''', but based on Chromium ('''free software''').
[[Opera]] is one of the oldest browsers still developed, and comes with many useful features right out of the box. It looks great and performs well, and is well known for its standardization of web protocols and completion of tests. Recent updates have made it a shit clone of Chrome.
Used to have its own Presto engine, but since 13.x version is now using WebKit which means its just a skin for chrome and is shit ever since.
'''Non-free software'''.
[[Niggernet Wangblows Exploder]], or IE, is a demon hell-spawn that uses Trident to try to be a unique speshal snoflack by using an waifu named Inori. Developed by a crack-team of apes straight out of compton otherwise known as Microsoft, there are many better alternatives, including death. '''Non-free software'''.
