Who Will Take Home The Award For Best Browser?

With Oscar season all wrapped up, the winners chosen and back home, you might be thinking awards season is done. You’d be to a certain degree correct right – although you will not be seeing the outcome on your television, there are still many of awards about to be handed out. Every year, About.com holds Reader’s Choice Awards recognizing achievementsfor anything from Best TV Brand to Best Virtual World for Kids. There’s even a category for Best Game Show Host on Basic Access TV. It’s pretty reasonable that one of the most avidly argued over and voted in categories is the Best Browser Theme category, with five finalists: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, and Safari. The very same five browsers were also the finalists for 2010, given the fact that only the most widely used browsers can be considered.

The 2010 results gave the prize to Opera, which garnered 51% of the vote, and Firefox coming up behind with 41% in 2nd place. Surprisingly, only one percent of the vote for the last two years went to Internet Explorer and Safari, the built in browsers for Windows and Mac respectively. Though the vote tally should be enough proof to sway you, it's been confirmed time and time again that the new generation of browsers like Firefox, Opera, and Chrome are faster, safer, and more reliable. Each of the browsers are totally free, and have different functions and add-ons for you to choose from. A Mozilla Firefox free download, for instance, takes just seconds and is readily available on their website.

This time, the votes are immensely different, with Chrome in the head at thirty eight percent and 14,322 votes so far. Firefox is again falling in second, with 32% of the vote. Opera has spiraled down since last year, and is only lying at twenty seven percent this year. It seems Chrome, the Google browser, has boosted wildly in popularity in the last year, or else the poll has simply beckoned more Chrome users now than before. Internet Explorer and Safari together have less than five hundred votes, again confirming them as stand-ins, only used once to get on the net and download Firefox free.

So, you may be asking, when do we get to find out who the winner is? Voting started on February 11, and closes March 8, with winners announced on March 15. Although Chrome is still in the lead, It is too early to tell for sure who will come out on top. It’s not too late to cast your own vote, not only for Best Browser, but for any other topic relevant to your interests. No shadysketchy academy handing out awards to actors regardless of their current film’s quality, the About.com awards are decided purely by users. Should you decide to make a very informed decision about which browser is really the greatest, giving each browser a go isn’t a awful idea. Opera, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox download in a flash each, and takes very little space on your hard drive, and uninstalling whichever you don’t like is just as quick. If you already have a favorite, go and cast your ballot!
