As you know, there are a lot of browsers. Count their number can not be, because they can write anyone. There are reports that today there are about 40 web browsers, among which there are both light text and heavy graphic "combines".

Only five of them became widely known. If you ask any ordinary user what the most popular browsers he knows, then his answer will be limited to this famous "five", which included: the Windows system browser - Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Google Chrome and the child of Apple - Safari . All of them are free multifunctional computer programs, which are regularly updated and updated.

Concerning the use of web browsers, statistics are maintained according to which ratings are built and the most popular browser is determined. The placement in the list can change every year, because manufacturers constantly improve products, trying to attract users of their competitors.

If you believe the rating, then the creation of the main search giant is used by 46.9% of computer owners. The second place is confidently held by Mozilla Firefox. It is chosen by 31.1% of the world's users. The once leading IE seems to have lost its positions forever and today is satisfied with the third place with the result of 14.7%. The fourth line belongs, perhaps, to the most unknown of the "five" - Safari, which collected 4.2% of fans. And in the last place was Opera, which was chosen only by 2.1% of Internet users.

And how are the places of observers in Russia distributed? And what is the most popular browser we have? The list that our compatriots have built looks completely different. It consists of 4 browsers, the leader among which is Internet Explorer. It is installed on computers by more than half of Internet users, namely 53% (by default it is used by 37%). Not surprisingly, the second place was Opera - 42% (29% as the main columnist). The third position is taken by Mozilla Firefox with a rate of 35% (25%). And the most popular browser of the world - Google Chrome - was liked by only 13% of Russians, and the main one was assigned to 9%. Data are given taking into account that most computer owners have not one browser installed. As for the popularity of Internet Explorer, the explanation is simple: it is integrated into the system, so it can not be deleted.

What are the criteria for users to use when choosing a browser? Here are the main ones: speed, interface, security, functionality, support for Internet standards. It should be said that even the most popular browser has drawbacks. Each of us proceeds from his personal considerations, when he gives preference to one or another observer and establishes it as the main one. Some choose a large set of functions, closing their eyes to the "sluggishness" of the browser, while others prefer lightness and speed, abandoning the "chips", "ryushek" and "lotions." Not the least role is played by the force of habit. In addition, most have multiple browsers. Among the owners of computers there is a certain percentage of those who do not use any of the above programs. And this rating at any time can change, because it is not known what kind of surprise tomorrow will present this or that producer.

The main thing is for each of us to say with certainty: "The best browser is on my computer".
