TECH basic browsers

I have had quite a bit of experience working with firefox and safari, so in dong this assignment I choose to look into Google Chrome, Sea Monkey, and Sunrise. In comparing these three browsers i opened them all up at once to see the differences and similarities.
Just looking visually at these three browsers, there are quite a few differences. For instance, visually Sea Monkey looks similar to Internet Explorer. It has a favorites menu right on the screen as well. A couple of things that are interesting as far as actually using Sea monkey is that to open a new tab you must go through a couple of different menus. Also, it only has an address bar, but no search bar. However, the address bar works as a google search bar as well. I also thought it was interesting to note that there was a print button right on the tool bar of the page.
Google Chrome visually looks similar to firefox. It automatically opens up in tabs, and has an easy button for opening up new tabs. It does not have a favorites bar right on the screen either. it does have an easy button on tool bar/address bar for bookmarking pages however. It only has an address bar, but no search bar. However, once again the address bar works as a google search bar. There is not really a tool bar on the page, however there are a couple of basic buttons like the refresh button and customize button on the address bar.
Sunrise visually looks very similar to Safari, with a few differences. The first difference being the Sunrise opens up already in tabs, with an easy access button for opening more tabs. Once again, it does not contain a google search bar, but instead the address bar works as a google search bar. The address bar doubles as the tool bar containing buttons for the home page, history, bookmarks, and others that I will talk about later. When the browser opens it has the favorites screen to the right of the browser screen. Which can be made larger or smaller or taken off completely. The favorites are also easy to add and delete. Some of the extra tools that Sunrise includes on the tool bar are a screen capture button, a button for switching between different browsers that you may have open, a button for sending a report for something suspicious, and the ability to change the language right form the main tool bar. Sunrise seems to me to be the most user friendly.

  1. Sunrise's screen capture button is a good thing to notice. Overall you have done well.
