Difference between web browsers (Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Microsoft Edge)

All four web browsers, Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge, are used to
view web pages, but there are some key differences between them.

Google Chrome is the most popular web browser in the world, with a market share of over
65%. It is developed by Google and is known for its speed, simplicity, and extensive
features. Chrome also has a strong focus on security and privacy.

Safari is the default web browser on Apple devices, such as the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It is
also available for Windows. Safari is known for its clean and intuitive interface, as well as its
integration with other Apple products.

Firefox is a free and open-source web browser that is known for its customizability and
privacy features. Firefox is also a good choice for users who are concerned about security,
as it regularly releases updates to patch vulnerabilities.

Microsoft Edge is the default web browser on Windows 10 and 11. It is based on the
Chromium open-source project, the same engine that powers Chrome. Edge is known for its
speed, efficiency, and integration with other Microsoft products.

Here is a table that summarizes the key differences between the four web browsers:

2. Difference between HTML and JavaScript

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) and JavaScript are two of the core technologies used
to create web pages. HTML is used to define the structure and content of a web page, while
JavaScript is used to add interactivity and dynamic behavior.

HTML is a markup language, which means that it uses tags to define the different elements
of a web page. For example, the <h1> tag is used to define a heading, while the <p> tag is
used to define a paragraph. HTML is a static language, which means that the content of a
web page is defined in the HTML code and does not change unless the code is changed.

JavaScript is a programming language, which means that it can be used to write code that
performs specific tasks. JavaScript is a dynamic language, which means that the content of
a web page can be changed at runtime by executing JavaScript code. JavaScript is used to
add interactivity to web pages, such as menus, forms, and animations.

Here is a table that summarizes the key differences between HTML and JavaScript:

3. Why HTML is used

HTML is used to create web pages because it is a simple and easy-to-learn language. It is
also a very flexible language, which means that it can be used to create a wide variety of
web pages, from simple static pages to complex dynamic web applications.

HTML is also a widely supported language. All web browsers support HTML, so web pages
created with HTML can be viewed by anyone with a web browser.

Here are some of the specific reasons why HTML is used:

● To define the structure of a web page: HTML tags are used to define the different
elements of a web page, such as headings, paragraphs, images, and links. This allows
developers to create web pages with a specific layout and structure.
● To add content to a web page: HTML tags can be used to add text, images, videos,
and other types of content to a web page. This allows developers to create web pages
that are informative and engaging.
● To create links between web pages: HTML tags can be used to create links between
web pages. This allows users to navigate between different web pages with a single
click.
● To create forms: HTML tags can be used to create forms that allow users to submit
data to a web server. This allows developers to create web pages that allow users to
interact with the website.

HTML is an essential language for web development. It is used to create the structure and
content of all web pages.
