Browsers are free, so read reviews and comparisons about the various
options and consider trying a few out. Look for the following features
as you do:

➟ Set up:All browsers are fairly easy to install and set
up, but not all make it easy to import your settings or
contacts from an old browser to a new one. If this
matters, evaluate the options.

➟ Speed:Browsers also perform differently in terms of
how fast they download and display content and how
well they display text and graphics on various Web
sites. Does one browser do a better job for you than
another?

➟ Navigation tools:A browser lets you move from one
page on the Web to another, move back a page, go to a
page by entering its online address (called a URL), and
jump back to your home page(the page you want to
open by default whenever you start your browser; note
that many browsers allow you to set more than one
home page to appear on tabs in the browser window).
