Browsers

I looked at Safari, Firefox, Google Chrome and Sea Monkey.  Firefox and Chrome both have tabs that are presented as soon as its opened whereas Safari and Seamonkey tabs have to be added by the user.  Chrome and Seamonkey both have only one bar for address and search.  Safari has two boxes one for search and one for addresses.  Firefox has two boxes but the address bar will search in google if you only type search terms.  Chrome has independent tabs so if flash crashes in one tab all your tabs don't crash.  According to Rachel, Firefox will slow your computer down because it uses a lot of memory.  Just while using it during class I observed that it is slower than Chrome and Safari.  Seamonkey also has a button on the toolbar to print which is a good feature if you print a lot directly from the Internet.  I also took a quick look at Sunrise and noticed that the favorites come up as a sidebar which I really like. Also, in Sunrise you can take a screen capture and save it to your desktop very easily.
