My wife and I got our first pc in 1998. It ran on Win 98, with Netscape Navigator as the browser.
What a learning curve that was. By the time I'd mastered those tools, XP hit the shelves, and I bought two new computers with all the latest bells and whistles.
I soon tired of Internet Explorer during that timeframe, and moved to Firefox. Aside from the fact that Mozilla ousted their CEO for being politically incorrect some years back, I've been satisfied with the product.
I use Firefox, Chrome, and Brave as my browsers. Use a few extensions on ‘Fox and Chrome, none on Brave. Brave is certainly the quickest to load- I think Brave may be a product of the CEO fired by Mozilla.
Each browser has its own strengths and weak points. Firefox tends to be my default. I’m using Chrome right now because I’m working with a cheap little Chromebook. Works good for the price.
