As i say, the Lissajous pattern is obtained by using the formula F=ma, then the control principle of this subject can be.. Haha.. Please forgive me telling something confusing here since i've been too engross myself inside my studies world previously. ^_^ Actually i'm here to blog something about the internet browser that we use to surfing. Obviously previously Sam is demanding me to do on this subject as this subject is quite a hot topic to be discussed. i'm quite agree with Sam because nowadays there are more and more internet browsers appears on the market, with different characteristics, different data coding, and variety of appearance ready for all internet users. I guess almost every internet surfer have their computer installed with at least one internet browsers as different type of browser will have different function to suits any situation when needed. This time i will talk about Internet Explorer (IE), Firefox, Opera, and Safari, which are now most hottest internet browser in the market.
Several years ago, IE has dominating the internet browser field because lack of competition. Netscape which is one of the biggest thread for IE, finally down and lose to IE, making IE the dominator in the respective field. However, come to this era, existence of Firefox, Opera, and the latest Safari finally bring some great competition towards the dominator. There are always a bunch of loyal supporters to support their own favorite browser. On the next paragraph, i'll show you the characteristics of each popular internet browser. Ready? ^_^
IE, which is one of the popular browser because of its integrity with Windows, since it comes along with the package, most of the users, especially new users will choose to use this integrated internet browser. But we cannot simply neglect the hardwork IE developers have put into IE. As we seen, IE has grew much better and steadier in this years, even though IE6 is considered not performing well, but the successor IE7 is doing a great job now and winning lots of support from many users. The specialty of IE7 is that it has a anti-Phishing filter which will help the users to filter certain fake website which is intended to steal important information or password from them. In this version of IE, the RSS (Really Simple Syndicate) function is made easy to use. As RSS gaining much more popularity in almost every website these days, RSS function is a must to be equipped on a internet browser. Building a user-friendly RSS function will only drawing more users to use it. However, it did comes with a weird arrangement of the button somehow users switching from IE6 will realize that the "Stop" and "Refresh" button been moved to the right hand side of the browser. Inside the toolbar menu, users can find a windows update button, which indicates well that IE7 also serves as a platform for windows users to gain important updates for their computer OS easily with just a click. As now IE8 has expose itself in the market, although still in Beta version, many of internet users already download this very version of IE to have a test on it (including me ^_^). This IE8, the user interface can be say that almost alike with the predecessor, but most importantly is it comes with a option "Development tools" which allow users (or better, advance programmers) to come participate and make any improvement to it, examine on the HTML codes, or even execute debugging yourself.
Comes to the passionate Firefox, it is always as popular as IE because it also has a OS which officially make it an integrated internet browser. Ya i'm talking the Linux. Firefox is always being a well performing browser over many of its version. Start from Firefox, to Firefox 2, and now Firefox 3 (still in Beta). Firefox 2 and 3 is similar to IE7 and IE8, which provides lots of improvement on user's experience yet retain the user interface from changing much from previous version. However as a major advantage of Firefox, is its easy applicable and comes with lots of plug-in and add-on, as this browser is an open source project (Firefox always emphasize on this fact), this allow and welcome all programmers or designers to design programme for Firefox. Therefore, users will be able to enjoy variety of add-on be integrated in their Firefox. You can have dictionary, translator, music keys, blogging tools or more to integrate in your Firefox; you can also change the themes of Firefox to whatever you like, all tuning work is up to you as you will customize it to become an All-in-One internet browser for yourself. ^_^ Since most of the website mainly built based on IE engine, it means there will be some of the website which is not supported by Firefox, users cannot use Firefox to view the pages but restricted from visiting those website which has low compatibility for Firefox (this is another issue I would like to discuss in the coming blog). But previously I've saw an add-on which enable Firefox to view website which previously not supported, which the add-on called "IE Tab". Therefore it makes Firefox a much more powerful browser from certain point of view.
Comparing these two greatest internet browser, in terms of CPU usage, memory usage, and surfing speed, (IE7 vs Firefox 2) and (IE8 Beta vs Firefox 3 Beta), the result can be expected. It is much similar to the rumors we used to heard. From a statistic performed by a magazine, results shows that Firefox will have lower memory usage compared to IE, sometimes the memory usage of IE is twice of Firefox (may affected by certain condition as well). While comes to CPU usage and surfing speed, there are no any significant difference between themselves, as IE has improved much on version 7 (however my personal view still reckon that IE is having a slower surfing speed and slower response than Firefox).
Well, since the performance between these browsers show nothing significant, it only comes down to which brand you prefer to use and which browser having a better user interface or themes will win the hearts of fellow users. For me, i use both Firefox and IE down to certain circumstances, however i'm a loyal Firefox supporter since i'm quite attracted with some software which called themselves "Open Source". ^_^
On the coming issue i'll try talk about Opera and Safari (since i've done a lot of writing in this blog issue), until then we should further discuss on other topic. You're lucky IF you're the users but not the developers, because you won't be needed to crack your brain to think what the users wanted in their coming version of internet browser and to enhance it. But, i'm quite like the job as a developer. Haha ^_^
