Internet Explorer supports Active X. I know that many U.S web sites do not use Active X, but most Korean websites use Active X so much. I use Korean websites every day, so I should install Active X. However, other web browsers except Internet Explorer do not support Active X. It needs to operate many active web effects or to use on-line payment systems. I don’t know why most Korean web sites require installing it, but I cannot throw Internet Explorer away because of Active X.
When one window has a problem, all windows are closed (crash problem). I sometimes lost my searched information because of this problem. And Internet Explorer works slower than Firefox and Google Crome. Also, Internet Explorer does not have a smart address bar that support advanced URL search and show a site name with its address. Other two browsers support this.
Mozilla Firefox
Firefox has the strong add-on function such as IE tab, a colorful tabs, blog editor, newsreader, fast dial, and so on. My favorite is ScribeFire that is a blog editor. I can post the current page to my own blog just through clicking the right button of the mouse (click “ScribeFire” > “blog this page”). It is very simple and easy. I do not need to access to my blog for posting.
Firefox also support the embedded Internet Explorer engine within Firefox browser. If some websites do not work on Firefox, I can use Internet Explorer within Firefox window through clicking IE button of the menu bar.
Although using multiple tabs in one window is an advantage of Firefox, Firefox does not support the individual tab function like the crash problem of Internet Explorer. So, if one tab has a problem, all tabs are closed.
Google Crome
I have used Google Crome after it was released. I like Crome because it has a nice and simple interface and a heightened screen without unnecessary menu buttons. The dynamic tabs that I can freely move are also cool! Also, I can search Google in the address bar, and I can access my favorite web sites instantly with quick speed from any new tab. The page shows that the most visited 9 pages through the thumbnails and it shows the recent history and search engine together in the page. The word finding function (ctrl+F) is also great. It appears on the upper-right side. It shows the number of the searched word in a page and all searched words have different color, so I can find them easily.
But, it is difficult to find the functions of the browser at first because of the simple interface not showing many menus on the browser. And, Google Crome does not support various add-ons, yet.
