online enough know about the other browsers.

 CONCLUSION
Choosing any of the three web browsers-
Internet Explorer, Firefox or Google Chrome-
will give quality web browsing experience.

To select any one of these we’ll have to keep

in mind our own priorities- speed, security or
universal application,etc.

But one thing is certain, whichever browser is

chosen out of the three, it would be one of
the best browsers for windows 7.
