Choosing an Internet Browser

If you spend any amount of time online, you have a favorite browser; a go-to if you will.

The choices include Internet Explorer, Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Stainless, Safari and Opera. If you do some research you can find many more browsers that are battling their way up the rankings as well.

I won’t get into which is the best or tell you which you should use. I find this to be a matter of preference and I’ll leave that for you to decide which one works best for your needs. I also don’t get into Mac related topics. I don’t know them at all!

When I login, I open Chrome and Edge. They each allow me to do things that the other does not so, I find it best to use them both simultaneously.

I prefer to search in Bing because I get rewards for my searches. If you are not familiar with this program, read:

What is the Bing Rewards Program?

Sites that are Google products, perform better using the Chrome browser so, anything that I do in Google I use Chrome for; Blogger.com, Gmail, Google My Business, etc. The same goes for Microsoft sites; Office, OneDrive, Bing, Outlook.com, etc.

From the get go, I have been a Microsoft junkie. My first email account was with Hotmail, then Windows Mail and now Outlook. I also prefer Microsoft Office apps to Google apps; I use OneDrive as opposed to Google Docs for my cloud storage. I use Word, Excel and PowerPoint as opposed to Google Docs, Google Sheets and Google Slides.

I have always preferred Google Maps over MapQuest and luckily for me since they are so Android friendly!
