2. Internet Explorer

3. Internet Explorer is the most widely-used web browser, although since 2004 it began losing usage share to other browsers. The current estimation is about 90 percentage of the total usage.

4. Internet Explorer 1August 16, 1995. Internet Explorer 2 November 22, 1995. Internet Explorer 3 August 13, 1996. Internet Explorer 4 September 1997. Internet Explorer 5 March 18, 1999.

5. security Internet Explorer uses a zone-based security framework that groups sites based on certain conditions, including whether it is an Internet- or intranet-based site as well as a user-editable whitelist. Security restrictions are applied per zone; all the sites in a zone are subject to the restrictions. Internet Explorer has been subjected to many security vulnerabilities and concerns: Much of the spyware, adware, and computer viruses across the Internet are made possible by exploitable bugs and flaws in the security architecture of Internet Explorer, sometimes requiring nothing more than viewing of a malicious web page in order to install themselves.

6. Usability and accessibility Internet Explorer makes use of the accessibility framework provided in Windows. Internet Explorer is also a user interface for FTP, with operations similar to that of Windows Explorer. Pop-up blocking and tabbed browsing were added respectively in Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7. Tabbed browsing can also be added to older versions by installing MSN Search Toolbaror Yahoo Toolbar

9. Security is considered as the browser with the most reliable security. Firefox uses a sandbox security model, and limits scripts from accessing data from other web sites based on the same origin policy. It uses SSL/TLS to protect communications with web servers using strong cryptography when using the HTTPS protocol. It also provides support for web applications to use smartcards for authentication purposes.

12. September 2, 2008 Google Chrome aims to be secure, fast, simpleand stable. There are extensive differences from its peers in Chrome's minimalistic user interface, which is a typical of modern web browsers. Chrome's strength is its application performance and JavaScript processing speed, both of which were independently verified by multiple websites to be the swiftest among the major browsers of its time.

13. Security Chrome periodically retrieves updates of two blacklists , and warns users when they attempt to visit a harmful site. On 12 January 2011 versions of Chrome prior to version 8.0.552.237 were identified by US-CERT as "contain[ing] multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities...By convincing a user to view a specially crafted HTML document, PDF file, or video file, an attacker can cause the application to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code."

27. FLOCK

28. April 11, 2005 is a web browser that specializes in providing social networking and Web 2.0 facilities built into its user interface.

34. DEEPNET

35. is a web browser created by Deepnet Security for the Microsoft Windowsplatform. The most recent version is 1.5.3 (BETA 3) which was Released October 19, 2006. Developed in Britain, Deepnet Explorer gained early recognition both for its use of anti-phishing tools and the inclusion of apeer-to-peer facility for file sharing, based on the Gnutella network. The anti-phishing feature, in combination with other additions, led the developers to claim that it had a higher level of security than either Firefox or Internet Explorer—however, as the underlying rendering engine was still the same as that employed in Internet Explorer, it was suggested that the improved security would fail to address the vulnerabilities found in the rendering engine

37. NETSURF

38. After five years of development, the first stable version of the browser was released on 19 May 2007 to coincide with the Wakefield RISC OS show. Version 1.0 was made available for download from the project's web site and the software was sold on CD at the show. n May 2009 NetSurf 2.1 was released, with improvements to page layout and bug fixes.

40. PASHEOUT

41. is a flash-based shell for Internet Explorer. It adds some really impressive looking graphics and customizable skins to your Internet browsing experience. If futuristic looks and space inspired graphics are your thing, you might want to consider PhaseOut. PhaseOuthas most of the essential features, but still lacks some of the nice bonus features such as a password manager, feeds, or parental controls. PhaseOut aims to be completely customizable and tailored to easy surfing. While the remote function is innovative, it seems unnecessary and doesn't add a lot of utility. PhaseOut provides most of the tools of a good browser, but they are not as easy to use as we would like. PhaseOutcomes with top-notch security features, including anti-phishing. Since it's Internet Explorer based you can also remove your browsing history quickly.
