If you are among those who have read, other goodness, other articles of this blog, you have a very clear and crystalline concept of what a browser is, what it is used for and which are the best among the software for surfing the web pages.
If, however, the concept was not too clear, I recommend reading the article on which are the best browsers which, beyond my personal opinion, should make us understand what it really is for today.
The importance of the internet browser has in fact increased in recent years especially with the transition from desktop applications to web based applications.
Web browsers therefore can no longer be considered simple tools with which to browse newspapers online or with which to search on Google but can be used for a wide range of services and programs that work without installing additional software on the PC.
UPDATE: Using an external program to backup browser settings and favorites is now useless because every modern browser has the backup function on its online account.
To find out how, refer to the article on how to synchronize browser data and passwords on each device .
Taking note of this, it is necessary to know that a browser stores online browsing information including the settings of these web applications which can be customized as if you were using a program installed on your computer.
In the same way as normal programs it is therefore important to keep this data safe and make it recoverable even if the PC crashed or if multiple PCs were used in different places and places.
Although the configuration settings of web applications and online data can be included in the incremental backup procedures that can be activated with one of the programs recommended in another post, however, if you have never made a regular and rapid backup plan, it can be better to save a backup copy of browser settings and memory only.
For each browser, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, Opera and Safari, there are different possibilities for data backup but here I prefer not to make a list of them, indicating a single program that works with everyone.
