Why Google chrome
What is different from other browsers?
Google Chrome is running each tab isolated from another, which prevents one tab to crash another, and is also more secure, and better for the memory; when a tab is closed it's memory use is eliminated.
Google added a more powerful JavaScript engine, V8, which will make large applications perform better.
The start page offers new functionality, a bit like Opera, with your nine most visited web pages, a list of recently visited pages, your favorite search engines and more.
Because it is an open source project, new features will be added, and other browser developers can adopt what they find useful, in their browser.

Internet Explorer 8
Internet Explorer is one of the most used Internet browsers today.
Internet Explorer is a free web browser from Microsoft, and it is one of the largest web browser in the world.
Internet Explorer 8 was released on March 19th 2009.
Microsoft claims that their new browser is faster, safer, and has better support for W3C standards.
New features in Internet Explorer 8:
Accelerators - quick access to web services. On a restaurant web site, for example, you can click within the page to get maps, news, information about the restaurant, blog about it, or share it on Facebook
Web Slice - keep up with changes to the sites you care about most
Compatibility View - for web pages designed for older browsers
Search Suggestions - get suggested content as you type
New Tab features - allow you to open accidentally closed tabs, and group related tabs together using color codes
Tab isolation - prevents a faulty web site from crashing the whole browser. Only the tab with the faulty page will close
InPrivate - browsing the web without saving any data (like passwords, cookies, browsing history, etc.)
SmartScreen - protects you against installation of malware, or malicious software which can compromise your data, privacy, and identity, and also damaging your computer and valuable data
Microsoft has announced that Internet Explorer 8 will interpret web pages according to strict W3C standards by default.
Previously, Microsoft announced that IE 8 would use the "IE7 standard" as default, and that interpreting web pages according to strict W3C standards would be a secondary option. This created strong reactions in the web developer community, as the "IE 7 standard" does not completely conform to W3C standards. However, Microsoft have now reversed this decision, and it looks like Internet Explorer 8 will be truly standards-compliant.
IE 8 has full support for CSS 2.1. In addition, it has fixed many cross-browser inconsistencies such as get/set/removeAttribute, default attributes, Attribute object and the
