Abstract: A method for selecting an optimal browser to launch a URL via an iterative process. A distance is calculated between a value of a performance parameter for each browser and a mean of each cluster of browsers. Each browser is assigned to a cluster having the smallest distance. The mean of each cluster is re-determined. The iterative process continues until the mean of each cluster is identical to the immediately preceding mean of the cluster. Next, a cluster is chosen based on which cluster is closer to an origin point. An optimal browser is chosen from the chosen cluster based on which browser is closest to the origin point. A message is provided to a user to prompt the user to launch a website on the chosen browser and an action to launch the chosen browser to display the website is detected.
