The Web: Basics and Browsers

I looked at Sea Monkey. It is mu understanding that it is not just a browser. It offers Mail & Newsgroups, Composer, Address Book & Chat.

Google Chrome Home page looks very different. Google Chrome has a Chrome Web store which is an online marketplace where you can discover thousands of apps, extensions and themes. Google Chrome is the first browser to incorporate machine translation in the browser itself, without requiring additional plug ins. Google Chrome's most-loved features are the Themes...beautiful! And the Address box is called Omnibox in Chrome. You can browse incognito mode when you don't want your website visits to be recorded...very interesting:). Chrome sees very user friendly.

I also looked at Camino. It has an address bar, a Camino help drop down menu, it had a news drop down menu, and a Google, Amazon bookmarks. It has forward and back arrows for back and forward function and allows for other search engines.

I looked at Sunrise...wow! It was a completely different layout than I am used to. It offers iphone, ipad, itunes, ipod on the address bar. This is a great feature if you are solely an "Apple person."

I still feel like I am learning MUCH about technology, this is a new experience for me.

  1. I wish you had found the extra services Sea Monkey offers. (They are under Window on the menubar.)

    You did a nice job in the number of browsers you covered, Although you coverage of each was somewhat brief, overall it is quite a nice piece of work. :-)

    Thank you!
