any web browser (Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Apple Safari, Opera and others) shares a great number of keyboard shortcuts.
Each browser also has some of its own, browser-specific shortcuts, but learning the ones they have in common will serve you well as you switch between different browsers and different computers.
