Which is the best Internet web browser?

People come up with the same common questions regarding web browsers:
which is the ideal Internet browser? What is the best web browser? Which web browser is the fastest of them all?
Well, to be honest- no web browser is ideal, and to be true -no web browser is perfect!
every Internet web browser has some good sides and some bad aspects.
So, the best browser is the one that has -
  • Maximum number of plus points or positives.
  • Least number of flaws or drawbacks. 

To achieve the maximum browsing experience or highest level of web browsing capabilities,
i have an idea: use multiple web browsers!
There is no single web browser on the Internet that is capable to perform all the browsing activities perfectly.
Use multiple web browsers to perform a specific purpose/task.

Like, for better web-based gaming experience you may use: Firefox and Google Chrome.
If you are a web developer, then using Mozila Firefox could be the best option.
If you want a parental control (controlling choice over the web content you want to see or you want to block), then Internet explorer and Firefox could be the good choice.
If you are concerned with the online security then you may opt for Google Chrome and Firefox.
