We all know of the top browsers, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera and Safari, but which one is best for you?

Let’s start with Internet Explorer. It’s Microsoft’s answer to the web browser. As most of Microsoft’s products, it is compatible with hundreds of plugins, so you’ll never have a problem with a lack of ad-ons. IE is not an amazing browser, but it’s easy to install and browses the internet, providing all the necessary browser functionality.

While IE is somewhat ideal for some, as it comes pre-installed with Windows, it really isn’t the perfect choice. It has many problems, the biggest one is speed, and Internet Explorer is extremely lacking here. Compared to most other browsers, this isn’t the best one, but if you need simple internet and don’t want to download new software, you can stick with IE.

Download managers are very handy tool if you either download a lot of files or download less but larger files from internet. These tools manage your download more efficiently. They speed up the download process by dividing the file into multiple segments and downloading all of them parallel. If your file is hosted on multiple server it will download each segment from different location even. Download managers can also be used to schedule the download or queue them to be downloaded. Just put the download in queue and leave the computer rest will be managed by Download manager utility.

Now you must have used a separate application which are free as well as Paid (some advanced one), but if you are using Firefox, you can use a free Add-on DownThemAll, which can do all these things which any other download manager application does and enjoy the benefit without installing any separate application. The only difference here would be instead of opening the application you need to keep Firefox window Open in order to use DownThemAll. Since it is added as and Add-on to Firefox using it is obviously more convenient and secure. It allows you to scan entire website for available downloads with just one click.
