The web is certainly wonderful, with it we travel through texts and images, interact with people, do great business and sometimes ruin someone's life by publishing a humiliating video. But what would the web be without a decent browser? Since for those who browse the web it doesn’t matter the operating system or if the signal comes from such an operator, nor is it necessary to have a computer, the most important thing besides the connection and the device is the browser or browser, because currently people have various options to connect to the internet either through a pc, tablet, smartphone or refrigerator the solutions are several.
BROWSER! WHAT IS?
It's just that “Programamazinho” computer that allows you to surf the web. That is, it is software that allows users to view web pages written in .html and other types of files supported by it. Currently browsers are not only present on computers, they are found on any device that has the function of accessing the web, such as smart-tv, smartphone, mobile phone, tablet, consoles ... and a list that never ends.
THE MOST IMPORTANT IS TO HAVE THE BROWSER, DOES NOT MATTER THE VERSION
You might say, the most important is to navigate, wasting time updating for what? If the same I will see the sites. If you think so, then you should pay attention to the following points:
- Security: One of the reasons that companies that own browsers release constant updates is security, because over time vulnerabilities will appear and many times those who discover these flaws are some malicious individuals, that is Hackers. And for those who make online transactions (purchases, bank transfers) a secure browser is essential, after all it is our bank details.
- Get the most out of sites: As the years go by the techniques of building websites evolve, this to try to always offer the best for those who surf the web. Today for example it is possible to run three-dimensional games in the browser without any plugin installed, just have a recent browser, the game HexGL demonstrates this very well. Everyone knows Microsoft's Word well and knows that to use it you need to install it on your computer, but few know that it is possible to use the latest version of word from a browser, that is, you don't install anything, just have an account Microsoft (@live, @hotmail) that you will be able to access this incredible resource.
- Think about web developers: Thanks to the social services we find on the web, we can have hundreds of friends without even knowing them in person, but our true virtual friends are web developers. These individuals are responsible for the existence of any website, they always intend to offer the best to the user, but this is not always possible because the best on the web requires the latest version of the browser.
WHAT THEY SAY
Some of the most popular sites worldwide will no longer support old browsers, this is because their services are evolving so much that old browsers are unable to present some sites in good condition, an example of which is timeline of facebook that when accessed through Internet Explorer 7 presents some errors in the graphical interface. These sites have clearly left users who are not in favor of using older browsers. They have also notified users who access their services using outdated browsers.
I want the best
In the world of browsers there is not the best, everyone has the same goal that is to present a page to the user, but there are some who have more features than others as the support of small extensions such as Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. No matter what the your browser, as long as it is in the latest version, it will always fulfill its purpose and will also greatly facilitate the work of web developers who in this way will not have to build sites that are supported by old browsers. The secret to navigating better is to always have an updated browser, you will be more secure, you will enjoy the latest features designed for you.
