This authors thought on web browser is as follows. First march is most of the government owned sites run on Internet Explorer so it is must and the second is IE though slow on loading some of JavaScript enabled sites but after loading it runs speedily take a look at Blogger , after complete loading Blogger editing is as fast as said and done. One thing is lacking the handling of api in websites or HTML 5 and it is not good with IE8 , the best for this is Safari 5 and Opera for speed, innovation, one line can be attributed to Opera , it is an all rounder- a versatile browser who is expert at many things. It is a must. This website loads pretty fast with Opera, its outbrain functionality not working with Opera ,but it is showing at Safari and IE*.
