Different users may be using different web browsers, such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Internet Explorer, among others. Therefore, testing the website using all three major web browsers (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Internet Explorer) will ensure that the website is functional and accessible to a wider range of users. Thus, the best choice is to test the website using all of the above web browsers.
