Toutiao, March 20: The ultimate PK of four browsers (Multi-picture) (1)

Bkjia.com: Microsoft officially released IE8 in the early morning. Which of the four browsers currently performs best in terms of speed, functionality, and usability? Let's take a look.

Note that the following tests are based on the latest beta version of each browser, namely Safari 4 Beta, Firefox 3.1, Google Chrome official version, and Internet Explorer 8 Beta version.

Comparison of basic functions: Chrome's simplest Safari is the most fancy

The latest versions of the four browsers can achieve the same basic functions. As a window connecting to the network, it fully supports various types of web pages and applications and provides multi-tag interfaces.

Behind them, we can see different design concepts. Google Chrome occupies the least space. Like Google's home page, Chrome's goal is to be simple, with almost only the most basic content retained on the interface. Google uses a single-line text box as "Omnibar") as the address bar and search bar at the same time. To save space, Web pages are inserted into the title bar.

Internet Explorer 8 and Firefox 3.1 take the intermediate route. In terms of appearance, both browsers have clear user interfaces, which look similar to previous versions, but lack some eye-catching things. The developers of the two browsers obviously focus more on how to make the browsers more effective, although IE8 also began to provide some interesting new features, we will see later.

The figure uses IE8 and Firefox to browse bkjia.com. Basically, there is no difference in the basic interface.

To a fancy extent, no one can challenge Safari 4. The User Interface of Safari may not seem quite familiar at first, but once you start using it, it will soon be attracted by its gorgeous graphic effects. In Apple's philosophy, style has always been as important as functionality.

Figure Safari is certainly the most "dazzling"
