Better Browser
My decision on which browser I like depends on what computer brand I’m using. If I am using my Dell laptop I choose to use Google Chrome. If I am working on my Mac Laptop then I prefer to use Safari. These browsers hold different functionalities and help me achieve my goal when needed.
My Reasoning
For my Dell usage I love Google Chrome. The reason I prefer Chrome is because while browsing through the internet it feel faster than its competition such as Internet Explorer and Firefox. Another reason behind me enjoying Chrome is because it’s powered by Google. For me especially at work when I need assistance Google is a very fast and user friendly search engine. Chrome also ties in with your email if you use a google email account so there is no need to log in and out because it automatically saves your data and information. Safari was built for Apple products so it serves it purpose when using them. Another reason I enjoy Safari is because it helps with your battery life. Other Web browsers including Chrome Take up a lot of energy. (Nelson, 2016)
The Has-beens
I’ve used other internet browsers such as Internet Explorer and Firefox but they couldn’t measure up. When using internet explorer the web surfing became slow. For some reason it wouldn’t respond to certain request and the page would crash. After the last update I.E sent out the web browser completely stopped working for me. When I go to open it a message stating “Choose your recommended settings” pops however the choices are grayed out. This solidified my choice in choosing to switch browsers. Also these browsers don’t have an open array of extensions. Chrome allows you to download extensions to customize your webpage to your liking.
