• Chrome is currently considered the safest and most compatible. You trade security and compatibility for privacy.
• Firefox is the best alternative and has a focus on privacy.
• Internet Explorer is obsolete. While still supported, it is no longer developed and should not be used. There is still the odd web site and game that requires Internet Explorer. Create an icon on the desktop pointing to IE with the link to the site.
