These days, Internet Explorer browser is not the only available option. There are so many browsers with great amount of penetration in the market along with so many extra features.

Currently, I can see four browsers in the cyberspace battling for supremacy. lets see some of the interesting facts about these browsers.

Microsoft Internet Explorer or IE is the oldest among all the browsers. It has the largest user base owing to the fact that it comes as a package with Windows. The most important aspect going with IE browser is the fact that it offers maximum possible compatibility to websites. You may see some web pages which aren't incompatible to view properly in other browsers. Internet Explorer has also started providing add-on functionality to catch up with their major rival Mozilla Firefox.

Firefox is the most common browser and peoples favorite and giving a very stiff competition to the Microsoft Internet Explorer. It is best known for its ease of use, 100s of free extensions, add-ons and themes.

Firefox had 20.78% of the recorded usage share of web browsers as of November 2008, making it the second-most popular browser in current use worldwide, after Internet Explorer.

Chrome, the newly launched browser from Google offers the best integration with the Google search engine and some other Google extras. I would surely suggest you to give it a try if you are a Google fan like me. Google waited so long to release this browser after picking up the best features of current available browsers.

One of the most interesting feature of this browser is instant thumbnails of often visited websites. You can also think like it can work against you and the other "incognito" mode which provides the option to browse the webpages in a secret manner leaving no cookies or browsing history.

Another important aspect of Google Chrome is that it treats each opened tab as a separate browser in terms of stability and speed. In order to demonstrate my point, I would say that if one tab crashes because of some problem, then only that tab will be closed against the entire browser.

The last browser of our discussion, Opera is not a very popular one as I believe it is not completely customizable. However, it do offers lot many features and extras by default which needs to be added manually in the most famous Firefox browser.

Only thing is, Firefox comes to you in a lean, streamlined and speedy form, which you then add to according to your exact requirements. Opera is a little ‘bloated’ in that regard. But they were the first to offer integrated mail, widgets, chat and RSS clients.

It is currently the fifth most widely used web browser for personal computers, behind Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, and Chrome. However, Opera has a stronger market share, however, on mobile devices such as mobile phones, smartphones, and personal digital assistants.
