Maybe this may help http://internet-browser-review.toptenreviews.com/ but, as already suggested,try them and see which you prefer.
My personal choices are Chrome and Opera as one can offer features (that I like) that the other doesn't
There is no best browser .... I've got multiple browsers installed here .. mostly use firefox, then comodo dragon (a version of chromium with some google bits missing/disabled) & up until recently often used opera too but as it's become just another version of chromium/chrome I'll probably bin it
Even IE isn't a bad browser nowadays. Its not like the IE6 vs. Firefox years anymore!
Personally, I use IE, Firefox and Chrome. I use all three as I find some web pages render better in certain browsers. Plus, its not like they conflict with each other or take up tons of space, so there's no real problem with having all three installed.
I used to use Firefox all the time until about a year ago when I switched primarily to Chrome. However I stick to Safari on my iPad and iPhone as I prefer it to the Chrome for iOS.
Not used IE at home in years, still have to use it for intranet services at work though and we are still on IE6 there!! No idea why the IT department don't upgrade it, they have however installed Firefox on the PCs although they don't update that very often either.
I use IE, Firefox and Chrome. All the websites I use tend to perform best in one of those three but never the same one.
I generally prefer Firefox as my main browser, principally for the UI. I generally use Chrome when I want to use the tab sync feature to carry on a browsing session on another device.
So OP, give them a choice, there's no need to force them to use just a single browser.
There are plenty out there.....It's a myth that they are rare..
Well you can't really buy Windows 7 machines in shops any more (they want to sell you W8) but I've seen them online and advertised in the likes of PC Pro magazine. Companies who sell business computers also have W7 machines.
I think its pretty crude and the fact it just randomly installs itself onto my computer without been asked is enough reason to think that its no better than spyware.

Shops? You mean PCworld? Try Argos and Tesco, probably ASDA You can buy windows 7 laptops and desktops from plenty of online shops. Even PCworld will sell you a refurbished W7 laptop online.
So not so rare really....;)

It doesn't just install itself, if its been installed without you downloading it and installing it manually, chances are you've installed something like Flash, Java, etc and left the check box ticked to install Chrome too.

What do you mean by crude? It does what it is suppose to do and does it well.
Not that I use chrome as such but a chrome clone.
As for installing itself, nope, it don't do that, it is software you have downloaded and installed that gives you the option of chrome that have done it. Look when you install stuff.
As for the best browser, which ever one works for you, ok not for you as such, but for who ever is asking.

Anyway I think Firefox or Chrome would be the best browsers. They're both better than IE.

Is Google a bigger spying entity than the US or Chinese governments? It's hard to say.
