|---|---|---|---|
| Google Chrome | 24.0.1312.57 | with the Java 1.7.0_17 JRE (Java Runtime Environment). Frequently updated. Has no edit source button. Slow starting when fiddles with a proxy. Flaky support of Applets and Java Web Start. Poor downloading. Handles foreign language sites particularly well since it integrates with Google Translate. Best for interacting with Google. BrowserMark rates this as the fastest browser. Good for ecommerce. Can’t print white writing on a black background. | |
| Firefox | 20.0 | with the Java 1.7.0_17 JRE. Its support of Java is erratic. Most widely supported next to IE. Many add-ins. Very fast rendering. Weak on table rendering. Best for printing. Fairly slow to start up. | |
| SeaMonkey | 2.17.1 | with the Java 1.7.0_17 JRE. Similar to Firefox, with integrated Email. | |
| Safari | 5.1.7 | with the Java 1.7.0_17 JRE. For both Macs and PCs. Some rendering problems. Simple and stripped down. | |
| Opera | 12.15 | with the Java 1.7.0_17 JRE. Comes in both 32 and 64-bit versions. For printing, I flip to Firefox. For ecommence I flip to Chrome. Some sites claim they do not support it. Not good for filling in forms or web commerce. Many sites are incompatible. Light and fast. | |
| Avant | 2013:22 | with the Java 1.7.0_17 JRE. It is a fast browser, especially at starting up. Has problems with JavaScript. Excellent at rendering and printing tables. It uses the Firefox or Chrome rendering engine. Handles Applets, but has trouble with Java Web Start. | |
| IE10 | 10.0.9200.16521 | with the Java 1.7.0_17 JRE. Not recommended. This browser is hopeless at Java, especially the 64-bit version. However, some websites will work with no other browser. | |
| Oracle’s Java | 1.7.0_17 | JRE | |
