Internet Browser Software Compared - IE, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari

I find Mozilla's Firfox is the best free Internet Browser software.

IE - Free from Microsoft. It contains bugs: therefore some graphic charts from my stockbroker do not display and cause script errors in Adobe flash player. Pages download quite slowly. Fonts are drawn very fine.

Safari - Free from Apple.com. It is quite user friendly buy has its own way of opening Tabs and Windows. You have to import your IE Favourites into Safari's bookmarks. Then copy them to the Bookmark Toolbar. Fonts are drawn quite thick - easier to read with weak eyesight. Generally more user friendly than IE. You can configure a "Popular" folder to hold your frequently used websites eg newspaper, BBC, stockbroker and open them all at once with one click. It claims to be fast but it was very, very slow on some pages. Also had a bug, it could not open some BBC links.

Firefox - Free from Mozilla.com. The setup is very easy. Very fast webpage downloads. It is bug-free and resolves all my bugs mentioned above. You can configure it with many free downloads on the Mozilla site. I added "Coffee Cup" add-in, which is superior to Safari's "Popular" folder. I have many IE Favourite folders. It imports them automatically. It takes an extra click to ADD a website to your IE Favourites, which is not aproblem as my common ones are in my "Coffee Cup" folder. The things I like best are SPEED and BUG-FREE.
