Ma has been at it again, learning all about Web Browsers this time and these are her notes:
The video "What is a web browser" would be very useful for beginner internet class. The most popular browsers are Windows Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Google Chrome, and Opera. Smartphones and PDA’s use web browsers specially designed for them. Google Chrome is a very fast browser, easy to navigate and very useful for downloading large files. The Google Chrome release notes , in the left directory, is a very useful source for current Google Chrome information.
Mozilla Firefox has lots of options for the Fashion Your Firefox list, I’d find this useful in most library environments.
Internet Explorer 8, Firefox, Opera, Chrome and Safari are free to download. Some of the impressive features on Firefox are location aware browsing, zoom settings and add ons.
Popular mobile browsers are iPhone’s Mobile Safari, Palm Pre’s WebOS, Opera Mini 5, Google’s Android mobile OS and Blackberry Storm.
I enjoyed Brian Tong from Cnet’s video on comparing browsers and iphones display of a web browser is useful for people who don’t have access to an internet computer.
